How to play Lion Safari (members only)

Wins pay for groups of matching symbols that touch horizontally or vertically. Larger clusters pay more, and winning clusters usually disappear to make room for new symbols.

Lion Safari is played on a 6×5 grid with cluster pays.

Set your stake. Choose your total bet per spin between $1 and $800. Wins are paid as multiples of this stake.
Check the paytable. Open the game's info screen to see what each symbol pays and the exact rules for this version.
Spin. Each spin's result is decided by a certified random number generator, independent of previous spins.
Trigger the bonus. Land the required scatter symbols to start the free spins feature.

How winnings work (members only)

What 92.04% RTP costs per $100 wagered

Because wins don't depend on lines, every symbol in view can count towards a pay. The paytable lists how many matching symbols each tier needs.

What 92.04% RTP means

Expected return = stake × 92.04%
Over $100 of total bets, the long-run average loss is $7.96

RTP is a long-run average across millions of spins. Any single session can finish far above or below it, especially on a medium–high volatility game.

Features explained (members only)

2 features explained: free spins, cluster pays

Free spins

A bonus round of spins played at no cost to your balance, usually triggered by landing three or more scatter symbols. Wins during the round are added to your balance, and many games let you retrigger extra spins.

Cluster pays

Wins are formed by groups of matching symbols touching horizontally or vertically, rather than along lines.

Strategy tips (members only)

Size your stake to the volatility. Medium-to-high volatility means longer gaps between meaningful wins, with most of the return concentrated in features. Use smaller stakes relative to your budget. A simple rule: bring at least 250 spins' worth of budget, so a $50 budget suggests a stake of about $0.20.

2 more tips and a session planner

Bonus wagering: at 92.04% RTP, clearing $1,000 of wagering costs about $79.60 on average. Check the bonus terms, as some casinos exclude specific games. Run your numbers in the wagering calculator.
Set limits before you spin. Decide your loss limit and session time in advance and stop when you reach either. No pattern or betting system changes the outcome of a spin.
