Fortune Lions 7 Slot by YGR

This is where YGR's whole Diamond 7 / Lions 7 run actually started. Before the Western 5x Diamond 7 reskin showed up, and well before the 10x and 100x Diamond and Lions variants, there was Fortune Lions 7, a Chinese-themed classic with a Golden Lion mascot and a Lunar New Year palette. The Diamond versions came later. The lions came first.

Mechanically it is as stripped-down as classic slots get. Three reels, three rows, one center line. Match three from left to right and you get paid. No scatter, no free games, no bonus round, no buy option, no ante. The only twist on the core is the Golden Lion Head wild, and even that only lands on the middle reel. It carries one of three printed multipliers (1x, 2x or 5x) and applies that multiplier to whatever line win it completes. Line up the top base symbol with a 5x Lion in the middle and you hit the 1,000x ceiling the game points at in its intro message.

The paytable runs twelve tiers deep, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20 in the mid range, then 300 and 400, then the 1,000x peak. That density matters. It is the same ladder YGR later copied into the Diamond 7 variants, and it makes Fortune Lions 7 the gentlest of the whole family. Hits come more often, the jumps between tiers are smaller, and the variance sits below every descendant in the series.

Visually it is imperial crimson red with a subtle double-happiness pattern behind the chassis, gold meander-key trim around the reels, silver reel strips, red Chinese 7s as the top base symbol, and silver and gold Yuan Bao ingots for the mid pays. Bets sit between 0.20 and 50. If you have spun the Diamond versions and want the same math with a Chinese New Year skin and slightly calmer behaviour, this is the one to pull up.
