In the jungle, the mighty jungle...No, there's no chance of the lion being asleep while this peppy slot is around.

Win a coin jackpot with a six figure value. Get a 10x multiplier during a bonus round. Gamble all your winnings on the turn of a card. You can do it all in Lion's Pride.

In the world of online pokies, animal themed slots are pretty common. In fact, there are even several other lion themed slots on the market. The creators of Lion's Pride don't need to worry too much about that, since theirs is one of the best.

The visuals, music and sound effects all fit together very well to conjure up the feeling that you're on safari in the plains of Africa. Reel icons include the usual 10, J, Q, K and A as well as gazelles, zebras and (of course) lions.

This slot looks great, with smooth animations and a beautiful sunset in the background, but we have to say that the reel icons could probably do with a few more colours to help differentiate them; with the exception of the zebra they're all the same brown/gold colour, which can get a bit confusing.

With 100 lines, wins are very common in Lion's Pride. In fact, it's rare to go more than a couple of spins without bagging yourself a win. Of course, there is a trade-off to that fact – most wins you'll experience during standard play are of a fairly low value, with the biggest wins coming during the bonus round.

With up to 25 free spins and a multiplier of between 2x and 10x on offer, Lion's Pride's bonus round really is fantastic. Even what seems like the smallest of wins in standard play feel much better when they get hit with the maximum multiplier.

If you're not happy with a win, you can always use the Gamble mode to see if you can double (if you correctly guess the colour of a random card) or quadruple (if you predict its suit) your winnings. But get it wrong and you'll come away with nothing.

Although standard play is fun, the free spins bonus round takes things to a whole new level. In fact, it's one of the things that sets Lion's Pride apart from most other slots on the market today.

Between the scatters, wilds and a bonus round that's pretty much one of a kind, Lion's Pride does more than enough to differentiate itself from competitors. However, there's even more that it could do to bolster its reputation.

For example, more safari themed mini-games would definitely be welcome. Or a progressive element would doubtlessly raise the game to a totally new level.

But now we're just being overly critical; Lion's Pride is a fantastic game just the way it is, and there's no wonder it's one of the most popular Microgaming slots.

A classic game that's been around for years, Lion's Pride takes some beating. The custom reel icons – featuring lions, zebras etc. – look great, there are 100 paylines and really lucky players can take home a six figure coin jackpot. Players are also given a great element of choice in the bonus round, with combinations of up to 25 free spins and multipliers of up to 10x on offer. Plus, if appearances are important to you, we reckon that this one looks a bit more modern than other lion themed slots like 50 Lions.
