Three Pots above the reels, Double, Mystery and Collect, decide how that round pays out. Free Spins add a doubling Wild, and filling all 20 grid cells with Bonus symbols triggers the 5,000x Grand Jackpot.
Lion Gems 3 Pots Theme & Visuals
The reels sit against a savanna scene with a lion, rhino, cheetah, zebra and warthog as the top-paying symbols. Card values A, K, Q and J fill the lower tier, next to the gem icons on the grid.
Lion Gems 3 Pots Hold and Win keeps three Pot icons above the reels at all times, marking progress toward each Pot Feature.
Hold and Win Bonus Game
The Hold and Win Bonus Game starts once 6 or more Bonus symbols land on the 5×4 grid in a single spin. A combination of Bonus symbols and Special Gems can trigger it too, and an active Pot Feature can launch the round directly. Every Bonus symbol carries a value from 1x to 12x your bet, shown on the symbol itself.
Each round opens with 3 respins. Any new Bonus symbol that lands resets the respin counter back to 3, so a hot round can run well past the starting three spins. The round ends when the respins run out or when all 20 cells on the grid are filled.
When the round closes, every Bonus symbol value on the grid is added together and paid as the Total Win. Locking all 20 cells pays the 5,000x Grand Jackpot on top of that total.
Special Gems & the Three Pots
Three Pots sit above the reels: Double in red, Mystery in green and Collect in violet. Each Pot fills with Special Gems of its own color, and those gems land on the reels during the base game or Free Spins.
Whichever Pots hold gems when the Bonus Game starts decide which Pot Feature or Features run during that round. A single filled Pot activates one feature; two or three filled Pots activate them together.
The Extra Gem is a rainbow-colored symbol with a different job. During the Bonus Game, it turns at random into a red, green or violet Special Gem tied to one Pot. That gem either activates a Pot Feature that wasn't running yet or adds one more gem to a Pot Feature already active.
Free Spins & the Doubling Wild
Three Scatter symbols in the base game trigger 8 Free Spins. The Scatter only lands on reels 2, 3 and 4, never on reel 1 or 5.
Landing 3 more Scatters during Free Spins adds another 8 spins on top of the round already in progress. The Lion Wild substitutes for every symbol except Bonus, Scatter and the Special Gems.
During Free Spins, the Lion Wild doubles the payout on every line it completes. The Hold and Win Bonus Game can still trigger while Free Spins are running. A 6-Bonus-symbol grid during the round pays out just as it would in the base game.
Bonus Rounds
The Bonus Game opens with 6 or more Bonus symbols on the grid, or through an already-activated Pot. What happens next depends on how many Pots were filled with Special Gems before the round began.
Single Pot Feature
With only Double active, every red Special Gem that lands on a respin doubles all Bonus symbol values on the grid. That happens at the end of the spin. The gem itself then pays 1x to 12x, 15x, or 50x your bet.
Mystery works differently. Each green Special Gem awards a random payout or jackpot from 15x to 150x your bet, independent of what else sits on the grid.
Collect adds up the grid instead of multiplying it. Every violet Special Gem sums the value of all symbols currently on the grid and adds that total to its own value.
Multi-Pot Feature
Two or three activated Pots run their Pot Features together in the same Bonus Game. Red and violet Special Gems can land in the same respin, so a Double multiplier and a Collect total can both apply within one round.
The Extra Gem raises the odds of adding a further Pot Feature mid-round, on top of whichever features started active.
Super Bonus Game
The Super Bonus Game runs all three Pot Features, Double, Mystery and Collect, in one round at once. Reaching it naturally means collecting Special Gems in all three colors before the Bonus Game starts.
Buying in works too. The Buy Super Bonus Game option costs 300x your bet and guarantees all three Pot Features from the first respin.
Symbols in Lion Gems 3 Pots
Payouts here use a $1 bet across all 30 fixed paylines. Every regular symbol pays for 3, 4 or 5 matching icons from the leftmost reel. The Lion Wild and the Scatter sit at the top of the table with their own rules.

|---|---|---|---|

The Lion Wild substitutes for every regular symbol except Bonus, Scatter and the Special Gems, and doubles line wins during Free Spins. Three Scatters pay $2.00 and also trigger the Free Spins round.
Feature Buy
Feature Buy skips the wait for a natural trigger and drops you straight into a paid round. Some jurisdictions disable this option under local regulatory rules, so availability depends on where you play.
| Option | Cost | Guarantee |
|---|---|---|
| Buy Bonus Game | 75x bet | 1 or more Pot Features guaranteed |
| Buy Super Bonus Game | 300x bet | All 3 Pot Features guaranteed |
Return to Player & Volatility
Lion Gems 3 Pots Hold & Win runs at a 94.76% RTP with High volatility. Wins land less often than on a medium or low volatility title, and the round-to-round swings are wider.
The 5,000x ceiling mainly comes through the Super Bonus Game and a fully locked 20-cell grid, not through base-game spins. Play a longer session at a smaller stake relative to your bankroll to ride out the dry stretches between Bonus Game triggers.

FAQ
Landing 6 or more Bonus symbols on the 5×4 grid in one spin starts the round. A mix of Bonus symbols and Special Gems can trigger it as well, and an already-active Pot Feature launches it directly.
Each Pot collects Special Gems of its own color during the base game and Free Spins. Double doubles Bonus symbol values, Mystery pays random jackpots from 15x to 150x, and Collect sums the whole grid into its own value.
The Extra Gem is a rainbow symbol that appears during the Bonus Game. It turns into a red, green or violet Special Gem at random. That either activates a new Pot Feature or adds an extra gem to one already running.
Three Scatters in the base game award 8 Free Spins. Landing 3 more Scatters during the round adds another 8 spins on top of what remains.
The maximum win is the 5,000x Grand Jackpot, paid when all 20 grid cells fill with Bonus symbols during the Hold and Win Bonus Game. The Super Bonus Game, with all three Pot Features active, gives the clearest run at it.
Yes. The Buy Bonus Game option costs 75x your bet and guarantees at least one Pot Feature. The Buy Super Bonus Game option costs 300x and guarantees all three. Some jurisdictions disable this feature under local rules.
