Our 50 Lions online pokies rating is already off to a good start once you know that the game is produced by Aristocrat. One of the leading producers of casino game software, Aristocrat has been around for over 50 years although obviously they were not producing online games back then.

Based in Australia, Aristocrat knows what makes Aussie players tick. You'll see more on this below but, in summary, you can expect fast-paced play, large jackpots and fun themes from all of their games. 50 Lions is no exception.

How To Play

50 Lions plays pretty much any other 5-reel online pokies. Australia players will more likely than not be able to sit down and start playing immediately without having to read up on any rules. A few notable features of 50 Lions include:

• 50 paylines – plenty of chances to win
• Bonus features including free spins and scatter rewards
• High max jackpot, as standard jackpots go, with bonus feature wins that can be even higher

Once you've decided how many credits to bet per line, just hit spin to start things off. You can also use autoplay if you want to set the reels spinning and then do something else at the same time.

If you're feeling lucky, you can choose to gamble any winnings on a red/black card mini-game. You can even guess the suit of the card to boost your winnings even further. Obviously, the trick here is not to push your luck too far, but a string of correct guesses can net you a very attractive prize.

Graphics/Sounds

50 Lions has a wildlife theme that includes giraffes, zebras and—no surprises here—lions. It's also features some nice sunrise to sunset animations that really invoke the plains of Africa.

There are fancier looking games out there, but we have no complaints about 50 Lions. Because it's not too flashy, it plays just as well on instant play/no download casinos as in a downloadable casino client.

Bonus Features

In every pokies title, the bonus round(s) is/are absolutely key. They can really make or break a game, and 50 Lions has a great bonus feature at which you can try your luck.

Three scattered red flowers will win you ten free games, and an extra wild diamond is added to reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 during each of these games. This can be very useful for replenishing your bankroll.

After your ten free spins are over, you can choose whether or not to gamble your winnings using the red/black mini-game. Personally, while I'm comfortable wagering a spin of a few hundred credits on the turn of a card, I find the potential to lose thousands or even tens of thousands of credits on something with the same odds as the flip of a coin a bit offputting. Of course, you might be more adventurous than me.

50 Lions' pokies rating, in terms of its bonus features at least, is a very good one. I've slogged my way through a lot of bonus features in the past, and 50 Lions' is one of my favourites because you always seem to come out of the other side with a nice chunk of change.

50 Lions Online Pokies Review

Although 50 Lions's maximum jackpot is lower than that of many other titles, wins occur quite regularly and you can quickly bump up your bankroll using the red/black bonus mini-game.

Payouts occur quite regularly, and even a modest bankroll can buy you quite a bit of playing time provided you don't bet too many credits per line. The more credits you bet per line, the more often you'll encounter that lucrative bonus round but the obvious downside is that you'll be spending more to get there.

But the real key to success here is triggering the scatter bonus round. The combination of many more wild diamonds and 10 free spins means that you're almost certain to come out with some profit provided you don't get greedy and gamble it all way on the red/black mini-game!

The graphics are mostly static but this just means that the game is a good choice if you prefer to play on no download/instant play casinos. All in all, 50 Lions' pokies rating is an overwhelmingly positive one. The game is very popular in land-based casinos, and that popularity has transferred over onto the web. It's easy to see why.

As you've just read, our 50 Lions pokies review is overwhelmingly positive and—even though it may be getting on in years—it's remains a great title for beginners and experienced players alike.
