There is a fine line between inciting nostalgia in people, and just looking old fashioned, and it’s one that many a slot game tried to tentatively walk across in the modern market.
One of the latest to try and do this is 9 Lions, a slot from Wazdan that is classic in its look, and in its tone, with Ancient China being at the heart of the design, as it is with so many other slot games.
So, does 9 Lions succeed in being retro, or does it just feel old?
About the slot
With three reels and nine paylines, 9 Lions is playable from 10p to £100 a spin on all compatible desktop, mobile, and tablet devices.
9 Lions has a cluster pays style mechanic, meaning that while three symbols on a payline will pay out here, clusters of symbols will tend to be substantially more lucrative.
The slot looks attractive enough, with snow capped mountains in the background, beautiful trees flanking the reels, and a heavy gold colour scheme that, unsurprisingly, includes lions.
There’s nothing new here, but it doesn’t feel like there’s supposed to be, a three reel slot about Ancient China was never going for innovation!
Gameplay
Collecting Lion and Dragon symbols is at the heart of this slot, with a feature triggering for collecting three dragon symbols or (unsurprisingly) nine lions.
These features are fairly basic and unexciting, but a three reel slot with features of any kind is something of a treat.
There’s also a gamble feature, which is the traditional 50/50, to keep things on theme, you pick one of two gongs, pick the right one, and you double your line win, pick wrong, and you lose it all.
A charming little game, 9 Lions just manages to be good enough to be nostalgic, but it’s closer than it needs to be.
