There’s such a multitude of online slots in this fast-paced, growing industry that virtually all themes imaginable have already been exploited, sometimes even overly exploited. And that is the time when us players start wondering if anything new is ever gonna cross our path again. With that in mind, Microgaming has made an effort and introduced a slot whose theme is something you don’t see every day – an extraordinary world filled with many fantasy characters, the most prominent of which are the most magnificent birds that human imagination has ever produced – griffins!

Sounds different? It truly is. “Great Griffin” is set in a mystical castle, where sorcerers and warlocks practice their spells and splendid griffins fly around free and untamed. On the reels of this fantastic 5-reel, 50-payline slot you’ll find colorful potions, scales, spell books, magical plants and mystic orbs, all used by a sorceress who obviously lives in the griffin castle, decorated by numerous griffin statues. This also seems to be the place where griffins lay their eggs and live in a happy union with humans.

If you like what you’ve read so far, you’ll be even happier when you hear about what else this slot’s got to offer – a host of special features (wilds, scatters, free spins, multipliers, a Pick-Me and Gamble feature), and regular base game wins (which do not reach very high amounts, but are still enough to at least cover your expenses). Speaking of expenses, “Great Griffin” gives you a variety of options to choose from, so as not to affect your budget significantly. Therefore, you’ve got coin denominations that start from as little as 1 cent and move up to 10 cents. The slot also enables you to place up to 10 coins per each of the 50 paylines, bringing the maximum bet amount to highroller-adequate $50.

Special Features:

“Great Griffin” has special features that can be quite generous, so you can win much more than in base game wins, but it may take quite some time before you get some of them. Wild symbol is definitely not one of the features that are difficult to reach. The “Great Griffin” slot supports two types of wilds – one regular wild which appears quite often, and a random wild, awarded by a white griffin, which occasionally appears, flying over the reels in all its magnitude and turning one symbol into a wild. As a bonus, whenever one or more griffins take part in a winner, the prize will be doubled.

The game’s free spins feature is probably its biggest treasure prize-wise, as it gives players the opportunity to choose the type of free spins feature they want, whenever they get three or more logo scatters anywhere. The options on offer are: 5 spins with a 10x multiplier, 10 spins with a 5x multiplier or 15 spins with a 3x multiplier. Any of these can lead to a significant balance boost, so chose carefully.

As for the Pick-Me bonus, it’s the most difficult one to get, because it’s awarded by three Sorceress symbols that appear only on reels 2, 3, and 4. If you manage to get them, you’ll be given the chance to pick a field and reveal your prize. However, in this feature, you can also win a Pick Again or Win All option, which lead to more great prizes and make this feature worth hoping for.

And finally, if this does not sound like enough gambling to you, you can always stake your winnings in the Gamble feature. Just be careful, as “Great Griffin” appreciates the wise, and punishes the greedy, so watch your step around this mystical castle, which may generously reward you or deprive you of your winnings if you choose the wrong turning.
