Griffin’s Quest is a 5-reeled slot with a diamond-shaped layout. The gradually increasing and decreasing number of symbols per reel create the 4-5-6-5-4 setup. There are 2,400 ways to win and all ways pay system is applied. You need matching symbols on adjacent reel regardless of their position on the reels to get wins. The theoretical payout of the game is 96.50%.
You will win from Spilt Symbols, Wheel Bonus and Free Spins. The HyperBonus has varying RTP on each level ranging from 96.56% to 97.52%. Play with wagers in the range of 0.60 and 60 credits on all kinds of devices. The jackpot win per spin in the game is 26,032 times your stake. The volatility is high.
There are plenty of bonus features and boosters in the game. One of them is the presence of split symbols. This lets all 11 regular cards and premium creatures land as single, double or triple symbols. Thanks to this, you can create paying combinations of between 2 and 15 symbols of a kind. The latter is possible from 5 triple identical symbols on a pay-line. There is a Wheel Bonus with cash prizes and the activation of any of the 3 Free Spins version. The latter include varying number of free spins up to 25 with x1, x2 or x3 multiplier wilds.
The number of free spins you can get depends on how many you have collected to the meters in the base game. You can retrigger between 2 and 8 extra free games with a special scatter. The HyperBonus is a buy option. It lets you trigger between 8 and 20 free spins with x2 or x3 multiplier wilds for fixed prices. You have 4 levels of this option to choose from according to the amount you are ready to pay.
The game has a mythological and fantasy theme set high in the mountains near the skies. You see a magnificent view of the sun and a mixture of colour and clouds. There are rocks, mountain ranges covered in ice, Greek temples. You can relish in marvellous waterfalls to the right under the reels. The grid has an almost diamond shape and very nicely ornamented borders with wings on both ends. The reels are semi-transparent and partly reveal the splendid view behind them.
On the grid, you can land single, double and triple card and mythological creature symbols. There are gryphons, winged lions, pegasuses, humanoids, Medusa and other icons. The dragon wheel is the bonus and the high volatility sign – the other scatter. There are 3 wilds, 2 of which are Wild Multipliers each in a glowing blue, yellow and red colour. The images are detailed, 3D, authentic and look superb. The soundtrack is a powerful and moving musical piece. It is perfect for the gameplay and theme.
The pay-table includes 5 premiums and 6 cards at the low end. The 10, J and Q pay equally – 0.05, 0.16 and 1x stake for 3, 4 and 5 of a kind. Landing 2, 3, 4 or 5 of the 9 card returns 0.03, 0.05, 0.16 and 1 time the stake. The K and A pay 0.10, 0.33 and 1.50 times your stake for 3, 4 and 5 matching cards on consecutive reels.
The premiums include the unicorn and gryphon, which return 0.16, 0.50 and 1.50 times your stake for 3, 4 and 5 of a kind. The humanoid with the torch and Medusa pay also equally – 0.20, 0.83 and 2x stake for 3, 4 and 5. The winged lion is the most valuable symbol paying 0.16, 0.25, 1.75 and 3.33 times the stake for 2, 3, 4 and 5 in combinations.
The wild symbol substitutes for all others except for the Bonus and Extra Free Spins scatters. They can appear on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 only. There are multiplier wilds of x2 and x3 during free spins. They count as 2 or 3 matching symbols respectively. The three wild symbols are ornamented in blue, yellow and red with the word ‘WILD’ on each.
The Bonus symbol lands in the base game only. There is an Extra Free Spins scatter, which lands during free spins. Both scatters are paying symbols. The Bonus symbol is the Wheel Shield icon. The scatter that awards extra free spins is the high voltage sign.
There are varying number of symbols: 4 on reels 1 and 5, 5 symbols on reels 2 and 4 and 6 on the 3rd reel. These ensure 2,400 ways to win on each spin. You need 2 to 5 matching symbols on consecutive reels landed on any position left to right. They have to start from the leftmost reel to get you wins.
Part of the gameplay besides the ways to win system with 2,400 per spin is the Split Symbols. All 11 paying symbols of the card and premiums can land as single, double and triple symbol. This is randomly determined and depends on how many are there on the icon. These symbols count as 1, 2 or 3 on their positions depending on whether they are single, double or triple ones.
To trigger the Wheel Bonus you need 3 or more of the bonus symbol to land in any position in the base game. The bonus symbol pays 2, 5 and 10 times the stake for 3, 4 and 5 respectively. The Wheel starts spinning and can give you a cash prize or one of the 3 Free Spins Bonus versions. The cash prize is calculated by applying the multiplier from the wheel to your total bet.
If the Wheel Bonus stops on any of the versions of the free spins, you will have the respective Free Spins Bonus triggered. The options are:
You will receive the number of free games displayed on the wheel segment the pointer has stopped on. Each of the 3 variants has a Progressive Free Spins Meter associated with it. The more base game spins you have played, the more free spins will be added to the corresponding meter.
Each of the 3 meters can collect a maximum of 25 free spins, after which it stops accumulating. When you trigger the Progressive Free Spins, you will receive the corresponding to the meter number of free games. This is according to which version you have activated. Then, this meter resets to its default with 7 free spins.
During the free spins, landing 2 or more Extra Free Spins symbols gives you extra free games. These are the thunder sign scatters, which are paying symbols as are the Bonus scatters. You can win from them:
The final extra in Griffin’s Quest is the HyperBonus, which is a paid bonus buy option. You have 4 of them to choose from:
Depending on your choice, you will get the chosen number of free spins with Multiplier Wilds. The necessary amount will be deducted from your balance. Each HyperBonus level has a different RTP – the higher its price, the better return to player rate you get.
