Which reel is best for buying a Wild in Golden Pride?

It is up to the player — there are three purchase options: reels 1–3, reel 4, or reel 5. The price adjusts according to the bet size.

What triggers the Respin round?

An expanded Lion Wild. It covers the entire reel and either creates an immediate win or triggers a series of Respins.

How high can the multiplier go during Respins?

Up to x1024. Each non-winning Respin moves the progress meter one step higher.

Why are two different maximum win figures listed?

15360x is the bet multiplier, while €245,760 is its cash equivalent. Both describe the same maximum win.

How does the Wild help form winning paylines?

By expanding across the entire reel, it substitutes for other symbols and completes winning combinations without additional conditions.

Golden Pride (BGaming) 2026 Slot Review & Free Demo

King Lion calls warriors to defend his Golden Pride — Golden Pride from BGaming stages the battle on a 5×3 grid, where the Expanded Wild Lion either completes a winning combination or raises the banner for a Respin round with a growing multiplier.

243 ways to win, 5×3 grid, Medium-high volatility, 96.00% RTP, Hit Rate 6.00, up to x15,360 max multiplier.

How it works

The Expanded Wild Lion substitutes for any symbol to complete a winning combination. Once it lands on any reel, it expands to cover that entire reel — either helping close out a winning line right away, or, if no combination forms, triggering the Bonus Respin round.

Bonus features

💡 Respin round with a progressive multiplier

Once the Wild has expanded, the Respin round begins. Any respin that doesn't produce a win bumps the multiplier on the progress bar — starting at x1 and climbing progressively, up to a cap of x1,024. Respins continue until a winning combination lands, at which point the final multiplier applies to the win.

💡 Buy Bonus with reel choice

You can purchase the Bonus game directly — there are 3 purchase options depending on which reel (1–3, 4, or 5) you want the Expanded Wild to land on. The minimum price is shown below the button and adjusts to your bet size.

Volatility

Medium-high volatility combined with a Hit Rate of 6.00 promises fairly regular returns — a 96.00% RTP unfolds mostly through the Respin round, where the progressive multiplier can grow up to x1,024 and drive the final payout up to the x15,360 stake ceiling (up to €245,760 listed max win).
