Saki

I shall start today

It has a plot with clear progression toward the completion of a story arc.
It doesn't matter that it's ridiculous. Slice of life doesn't have story arcs or plot progression, just character development.
Lord of Fire:
Anyone who claims to be watching this for the mahjong battles is either asexual or seriously having priority issues.
If you weren't aware of the yuri undertone from watching the show alone, the OP (I think even both) makes it blatantly clear, not to mention the alternative ED that comes up every now and then.
If there exists a school where the girls wear extremely short skirts and no panties, let me know so I can move there.
The mahjong just serves as temporary distraction from the fanservice overload.

Slice of life is charaterised mainly by the lack of plot continuity, lack of character development (or, when it occurs, it's segmented) as well as a general lack of exposition and conflict (and subsequently often lacks an "ending"). In essence, it consists of loose parts of the casts lives that may or may not be linked. Saki isn't slice of life.

it seems like Mild fanservice to me

The entire show is fraught with fanservice, ranging from the character designs (a menagerie of moeblobs, basically) to skirt shots and the general yuri theme.

Yup, it's on my list now! As soon as it finishes, I'm going to dig very hard into it ... extremely hard.
