The lion represents the wild, that is it substitutes any symbol (but the scatter) and doubles the winning result of any combination which it fills up. 2 lions make 15 coins, while 5 lions make up to 15,000 tokens. The second rare special symbol is a monkey, which represents the scatter: three or more monkeys scattered on the reels trigger a bonus of 15 free spins, during which a 3x multiplier is applied to all your prizes. It also multiplies a winning combination if it already contains 2 or more identical symbols.
