The graphic and sound with this game are really good but a little too dark for my taste. Also everything looks mystical to me in this game or at least I got that impression. The first time I saw this game I was a little surprised. I was surprised to see the Griffin animation flying across the screen and adding wild symbols to the reels. I was amazed by this feature at the beginning.

Unfortunately my surprise didn't last long. I saw that later the feature slowed down the game a lot and everything becomes boring when you play this slot for a longer time. Whats best about the game and where you can win mostis the free spins bonus. Here you have a chance to choose one of the 3 offered options. 15 free spins with 3 x multiplier for your wins, 10 free spins with 5 x multiplier or 5 free spins with 10 x multiplier for your win.

The first time I played this slot I was lucky enough to get the free spins bonus 2 times for a very short time. In both cases I choose the middle option 10 free spins on 5 x multiplier and had a big cash out from those free spins. The first time I got this bonus on a 0.5 bet and the second time on a 1 e bet per spin. I can’t remember exactly how much I cashed in from those free spins but in both cases it was more than 50 euros. Of course after wins like that I instantly became a big fan of this game. Later on I had some big disappointments here and lost a lot of money. Nowadays I rarely play Great Griffin slot. You can also win a pick bonus here but that happens rarely.

Overall Great Griffin is a slot game where you can have some big wins but it’s a pretty slow game and after some time you will want to move on to another slot.

When I played this slot I had mixed feelings in which I was attracted to play the slot by seeing its payout table and simultaneously I was not able easily trigger the features.

Free spin feature, I usually look out for it in all the slots I play. The scatter if appears on three more reels the free spin feature gets triggered. For this slot when the feature is triggered you get three choices to choose from. First being 15 free spins with 3 x multiplier, the second is 10 free spins at 5 x multiplier and the last one is 5 free spins with 10 x multiplier. I made the calculations and decided to choose the very first when the bonus triggered in my game play. I was playing with the least bet possible of $0.50 and got somewhere around $48 from free spins feature. In griffin wild bonus gets triggered randomly on any spin. The griffin fly over the reels and can make any symbol to turn into wild. Another feature called pick me bonus gets triggered when three lady symbols appear on the reels. In this feature you have to pick bonuses like pick again and the win all. If pick the win all symbol it collects all the bonuses of the bonus games. The bonus game ends on choosing the ending symbol.

Great Griffin is a mediocre level slot game. The payouts and the graphics of the slot are ordinary. Even the features are not very attractive and hard to achieve. I am not very fond of this slot game. I would grade the slot as 7/10.

This figure was used as a symbol of power and intelligence, and is still used in games, movies, statues and shields of different organizations and communities. Personally I prefer the mythological beasts when they are accompanied by some fantastic story, I do not know any attached to Griffin, there is just talk about the fear that some people have since rumors about those creatures really existed in India and elsewhere. Well, Microgaming was inspired by this powerful creature to create their game "Great Griffin," a slot with 4 x 5 reels and 50 paylines, which includes a wild symbol acting as substitute and doubler for standard symbols, and it’s is characterized by having the image of an eagle's head, and as a special feature regarding a wild bonus Griffin; it also includes a free spins round and pick me bonus instant win.

- Griffin wild bonus: constantly Griffin flies across the screen to turn randomly 1, 2, or 3 standard symbols into wild symbols. When playing this video slot, you will exclaim ¡wish this creature had better aim!
- Free spins feature: it’s triggered by the appearance of 3 scatters with the logo of the game, and once done, you can choose between 15, 10, or 5 free spins with 3x, 5x, or 10x multipliers respectively. In theory it is a promising round.
- Pick me bonus: it is activated by the appearance of 3 scatters represented with the image of a face of a beautiful psychic woman. You must click 2 of these 3 symbols to reveal a cash prize that is hidden and it can grant up to 150 times the amount bet.

Despite being a slot with very good special features associated, I think Great Griffin misses the majesty of the creature that inspired it, and the reason is not technical, because Microgaming is a fully professional and very popular company; the reason may be more related to low payouts that certainly overshadow gains possibly achieved as result of special features activation. As expressed by other players on some websites, I could not either experience a positive balance for several attempts in this game, and I cannot deny that the issue of profits has some weight on me when choosing a slot to play; despite the above, I think the game is very entertaining and also that everyone should evaluate it on his own.

The mystic and mythical feeling promptly can be felt at this 50-payline slot and I really and the entire interface is very captivating. I like very much the 2 gryphuses as decorative motives on the top of the reel area and the coffee brown color behind the reels which is not a commonly used color tint for ominous game like this but somehow it really fits well to the environment. Among the playing symbols there are some real not to be missed icons like candles, magic books, potions and of course griffins and I think the creators very wisely didn’t applied card elements to this game. The pictographs all together very well represent the little dark mood and even though in my opinion this is not the graphically best Microgaming product but it’s a well-structured, cozy and proper color used visual work by them with nice and fitting icons.

The best prize what can be win by a line is 5000 coins if 5 Griffin symbols arrive and because this symbol also works as Wild we don’t have to be necessarily sad if it just appear in fewer numbers on the reels because it doubles the values of all winning combinations and has a little add-on which is also a useful one namely a Griffin occasionally can fly over the screen to turn any randomly chosen symbol(s) on the table into Wild. The Scatter icon has some good abilities to surprise us in positive ways. First, if 5 of them become visible anywhere on the screen we are awarded an instant 200 times of total bet prize which is a nice return but it also has free spin triggering function which session is a real strength of the game.

I like the opportunity to choose a free spin type out of 3 options. It can be 5 free games where all wins are counted by x10! multiplier or 10 spins at x5 or 15 extra games with tripled line wins. Though the x10 multiplier number is very tempting but the 5 games seems a little less so most of the times I go with the other 2 options. I also like in these numbers that unlike other games where these values are just potential maximum ones, here at Great Griffin every win is multiplied by attached multiplier value and also a plus that this feature can be re-triggered. The other little bonus what the game offers is activated if 3 Magician Lady characters appear on the reels then we have to pick one of them which reveals an instant cash prize (up to x50 of stake) but it may hide a ‘Pick again’ or ‘Win all’ options.

I think it’s a very fine overall product with no real drawbacks and with the ability to entertain us. I really like the atmosphere the game creates and the correctly working game segment. In my opinion the slot brings to the table the well-known and expected Microgaming quality so this game simple can’t be a disappointment to anyone. Maybe the better paying winning combinations can be visible more often and the free spin feature also can show itself more frequently but it’s possible just my greediness say this. Good developer, good game, enjoyable playing sessions and have fun, there isn’t much more what I can wish.

Greek mythology is an inexhaustible source of inspiration for the video slot designers and developers. Every serious software provider has to offer at least two or three games inspired by old Greek mythology.

The graphics are quite good here with fantastic animations. Also, the sound effects are at the level which gives a special atmosphere while you’re playing here. The rules here are quite original and you should play a longer time to understand them.

You will find a few bonus features here. In the free spins feature, you can choose the number of the free spins. You have three possibilities of 15, 10 or 5 free spins with 3, 5 or 10 x multipliers. For me, somehow the best is the middle variant with 10 free spins x 5 multipliers. Otherwise, free spins are hard to reach, but it is worth to wait on them. Not infrequently from the free spins you can have cash-outs 50 x bet or higher.

Another characteristic that makes this game original are the wild symbols. Besides the standard wild symbols sometimes Griffin flew over the monitor and random, individual symbols are turned into wild symbols. I like this solution because it is quite original and I have not found something similar in other video slot games. There is also a classic pick up bonus. Several times I had a lot of success with this game. But lately I had bad results and I lost a lot of money here. For all these reasons I advise to caution and playing with a smaller bet per spins. I usually play with min. bet per spin of 0.5 euros and only sometimes if I have a good presentiment I will increase the bet to 1 euro per spin.

I recommend this game. Great Griffin is a video slot game that will give you an unique pleasantness.

so sounds are ok, but nothing really very interesting. At great griffin slot there is 50 paylines, therefore min bet is 0.50, which is not very low.

Base game at great griffin is interesting. Wilds here appears on all reels, and also have x 2 multiplier, but from my experience get 5 wilds probably super hard, because I never had even 4 wilds on payline, just once had 3. Also during base game there is can be triggered special 'wild griffin feature’, at any random spin griffin can appear and made other symbols wilds. Well, does not wait a lot of wilds from him, because 90% of time he add just 1 wild, another 5% it will be two wilds, and very small chance that it will make 3 or more. I once saw 3, and never more.

You can trigger two features at this slot. First one is when three lady scatters appears on reels 2 3 4, then you will need to pick one and reveal your prize. Once I won 30$ there, at 0.50 bet, so it is not so bad feature.

And also you can trigger freespins feature, which is the most interesting part of this slot. 3 or more scatters and you will have to pick freespins feature, three options - 15 x 3, 10 x 5, or super 5 x 10 multiplier freespins. To be honest most times I choose 5 x 10, and sometimes I pick 10 x 5. Most interesting and excited it is 5 x 10, because even two scatters will pay you 20x bet right away. Variance is high on this third feature, but I like it.

Interesting game Great Griffin, I like it, and it is absolutely not boring, and have potential to win big.

But at this game, I hate payouts during base game and after a short time I changed it.

The game offer free spins feature, you can choose between 3 different features: 15 free spins at x3, 10 free spins at x5 or 5 free spins at x10 multiplier. I like the last feature, it has really huge multiplier. But I played this game only for a short time and I did not received any free spins.

There is also pick me bonus where you can win up to x 150 bet. I think the number could be even higher than x150 bet into bonus game.

After all I do not like this game while I was playing it. I had only small winnings and I am sure I will not play it again. I had bad feeling when I saw only small winnings and later I changed it. I will rate this game with 4 stars because of wild griffin bonus.

This game has a great addition and that is the griffin appearing and turning symbols into wilds. The thing here is that the griffin appears very often, like after every 4 spins and it turns some symbols into wilds but they are never on the active pay line. This makes the game more annoying and does not add to the thrill of playing a video slot.

This game offers some good features but they turn out to be nothing special once you trigger them. There is the Pick me bonus. You need to land 3 of the lady symbols on the second, third and fourth reel and then they turn into Pick me symbols. Once I got this bonus I chose the one in the middle and it gave me 11 euros. But at this point my balance was really low. I have lost 50 euros during the base game and I thought it is better to leave it soon. Luckily I triggered the free spins very fast after this bonus. You have 3 options from which you can choose and they are as it follows; 15 free spins with x 3 multiplier, 10 free spins with x 5 multiplier and 5 free spins with x 10 multiplier. I chose the last one, because the multiplier was really tempting. It would be better if there were like 7 free spins, but still I wanted to see this one. And I got 71 euros. This was a good choice because I got back all the money that I have lost and I had 10 euros more on my balance. I played the game for a while after this but I saw that it is not willing to pay anything good so I made a withdrawal.

Oh boy, that was one alien movie I loved watching. Have seen it many times already. Hilarious in many ways, yet amazingly intellectual in some ways, and really makes me wonder what else could be there in this world that we don't even know or cannot comprehend yet. The possibilities are really mind-boggling, but that's another story.

The Great Griffin in this game is none other than a special bird, an eagle-lookalike, if not an eagle, that can transform symbols into Wilds. Well, it's nothing great really, most other games have something similar that can transform normal symbols into Wilds too. Maybe there's something more to this bird that I don't know yet. Hopefully it can transform normal wins into gigantic ones. Now that will make this Griffin a super-duper great Griffin! Hehehe.

Firstly, this is one fairly old game from Microgaming that I do like and appreciate its qualities. The graphics, icons and scenarios are very well presented. The animations are okay too, except for the too-often appearance of the Griffin. Less appearance but with more random Wilds per appearance would have been a lot better. When you want to play a fast game, these Griffin appearances slow the game down by a lot, and this can be quite annoying at times, especially when the Wilds don't pay anything.

The Griffin is the Wild symbol, paying 5000x the line bet for 5 of them, and doubles all wins with it. That's good. The Lady is the Scatter symbol, she doesn't pay anything for herself, but getting 3 of her on reels 2, 3 and 4 awards a 'Pick Me Bonus' game, whereby an instant cash win is awarded, with up to 150x the total bet amount can be won. Quite good this. The logo 'Great Griffin' is the other Scatter symbol, paying 200x the total bet for 5 of them, and getting 3, 4 or 5 of them awards a Free Spins game, with 3 different choices to choose from - 15 free spins with a 3x multiplier, 10 free spins with a 5x multiplier and a 5 free spins with a 10x multiplier. The Free Spins game can be retriggered, but don't count too much on it. It hardly comes! The other symbols in the game pay from 200x to 100x the line bet for 5 of each kind, which is unfortunately on the low side, but hopefully those 50-paylines can afford lots of decent good wins.

Honestly speaking, I've had only one long play on this Great Griffin game. Long, because my deposit and bonus money was stretched quite a long way, giving me a good extended play time, with several Free Spins games along the way. This I like, unlike some games that tend to gobble up the credits like anything. The 'Pick Me Bonus' was fairly good, giving me a couple of decent 20x bet wins. The Free Spins game was a mixture of good and bad. The 5 free spins with 10x multiplier paid only 8x my bet amount, the 10 free spins with 5x multiplier paid 17x, but the 15 free spins with 3x multiplier paid a nice 69x my bet amount, and this kept me going on for quite a long while. Great Griffin is one of the rare Microgaming games that I do like to play. Nonetheless, I cannot rate it too highly now because I've yet to get more deeper plays into it to know its true potentials.

I likes most of their slots but there isn't a game available which is more annoying than the Great Griffin.

I literally just had to mute the volume and eventually stop playing it because some elements of this game annoyed me too much. A slot should never even come close to annoy the player, since they should provide high quality entertainment.

Great Griffin is a game with 50 paylines and 5 reels. The theme is well put though which focuses on a mythical castle taken over by griffins. The main symbols of the game consist of griffins, eggs, feathers, and several tools you'd expect from a sorcerer.

The sound effects do make this game annoying in combination with the randomly triggered wild. 50 cents is the minimum bet per spin when using all paylines, but I used to play this game on a bet size of 1.50 euro. The game has normal wilds which could appear on every reel, and also random wilds which appear in the form of the griffin flying around on and turning a symbol wild.

If the griffin would only do this once every 30 spins, it wouldn't bother me. The griffin however appear like ever four spins and makes an annoying sound when it does that. Sure it increases the prize you won, but it destroys the game play in my opinion. They could definitely have put this game together in a better way.

I've managed to get through the free spins once when I had 3 scatters appearing on the reels. The nice thing about the free spins is that you can choose between 15 free spins and 3x multiplier, 10 free spins and a 5x multiplier, and 5 free spins and 10x multiplier. Theoretically speaking the last option would be the best.

But I like my gameplay and chose 15 free spins and 3x multiplier. I managed to win 70x bet size and stopped playing the game. Great Griffin also has a "Pick Me" bonus game appearing on reels 2, 3 and 4. I never been lucky enough to trigger this feature though.

My final rating for Great Griffin is not so great: 5.5/10.

Hill Bill

Great Griffin can really have it's way of being such an heavy burden. I will explain why. Every so often for about $1.50 - $2 a spin there is frequentlythe Wild random Griffin feature where on a spin, whether it be a win or loss, a griffin would fly from the left side of the reels to award random wilds in any position. I hate to break it to you all but this can really be agonizing for a mini feature! Why can't I just spin without the hassle of being interrupted every 1 - 4 spins! It's typically relentless! I just want to laugh! I mean it's good for when the wilds strike a good win but it's terrible at it's job! The way that it lands on random reels that have no hope in winnings can be a total b1t*h! Why bring it up in the first place!? It's only sweet if I see an existing wild already or if random wilds appear to tie up high symbols. This is all within the hour of one of my sessions!

The best I've won for a feature are free spins proving it's worth for my $1.50 triggering bet. Seriously though I would love it much more on a $2 but sadly it never handed me that chance! The free spins were a choice of 3 potions, the red is 15 free spins at 3x, the blue for 10 Free spins at 5x and finally the one that had me lucky for a moment is 5 free spins at 10x! Over the course of 5 free spins at 10x being my valued choice, it retriggered again!!! My winnings managed to build up a paralysing $78.10 total from another 5 free spins. By the way, retriggers can give players another chance of choosing again for a potion (free spins option) by being granted a potion token so....it would be good if the initial trigger choice doesn't work out too well (ie. 15 free spins at 3x as a first choice). At the end I was crazy enough to gamble my $78.10 win to choose black, I doubled up instantly to $156.20!!! I know it was crazy to pour gasoline on my winnings but who could blame the next person wanting and drooling for more winnings! Greed is now my new ally (now laughing maniacially)!

Costly amount of coin bets...especially considering players in general, a super annoying wild feature that I happen to have some serious patience with, juicy free spins that soared my balance moderately...not including the gamble thrown in and lastly Great Griffin can receive a 7.2 out of 10!

is slot has good and also less good parts. Choosing a bet 1 cent/line (50 cents/total) the average win during normal spins is somewhere between 10-30 cents (the payout is about 10 cents for 3 consecutive symbols). This 30 cents average win you will get once every 2-3 spins because of the random occurrence of the flying over Griffin that turns ordinary symbols into „Wild“ symbols (also about once in 3 spins). Although three consecutive symbols are very common here, yet in the 250 I have never aligned five symbols. The less pleasant part is the fact that due to these frequent appearances of the Flying Griffin the game runs relatively slow and all the other features of this game are pretty rare.

The "Free Spins" round is triggered by 3 „Wild Griffin" special symbols about once every 50-100 normal spins . During this round you have is the possibility to choose between 5, 10 or 15 free spins for each corresponding a different multiplier (10x , 5x or 3x). In about 250 spins I entered the „Free Spins“ round three times. The largest win was about 1,300 coins (13 USD) and the smallest win was only 300 coins (3 USD) . Apart from theFlying Griffin which turns into wild random symbols and from the Free Spins round, there is a third feature in this game called "Pick Me " triggered by 3 "Lady" symbols. The "Pick me" feature is also found once about every 100 spins and the wins are about the same as those offered by Free Spins.

My impression of this game was that many successive small gains of 10-30 cents are followed by a higher gain of 3-10 USD (provided by the "Free Spins" or by the "Pick Me" feature) about once 50 spins. Playing for an hour (about 250 spins as I said at a total bet of 50 cents) I lost out about 25 dollars. However the game is quite exciting and I think is part of the good games I have played until now.

It is really interesting and nice slot, now i describe you why.

Great griffin is 50 lines video slot, without any expanded wilds or stacked, or something like this, and this is surprising to see many lines game from microgaming without many wilds. The base game has feature to add some more wilds on real, every few spins griffin appears and make one or few symbols wilds. But it is a bit annoying and slow gamble a lot, because there is around 5 seconds till this griffin appear, make wilds, and most times it is does not any good win to you. This is not cool, and like adebisi said they can do this another way, because this is the most annoying thing in this slot, nobody would like to wait 5 seconds till next spin, and also as i told this griffin 90% times is useless.

Anyway, this slot also has bonus game, this is regular pick a something bonus game, triggering by 3 symbols on middle reels. Nothing to add about this game anymore, because it is quite boring, and i never saw nice win on it. Main interesting thing with this slot - freespins feature, which triggered by at least 3 scatters. After it you can choose freespins : first is 15 freespin at x 3 multiplier, second is 10 freespins at x 5 multiplier, and last, but good, is 5 freespins only, but multiplier is 10 x ! Two scatters during x 10 multiplier already awarding you x 20 total bet, and imagine if you hit good win?

I am not often play this slot, but i should say that i need to play it more, because i like it. It is defo has some potential for great win.

Decent game - no any really weak points for it. But Griffins slow gameplay a bit.

What I dislike at this game is griffin wild bonus. During any spin a griffin may fly across the reels and changing some symbols into wild symbols. I had this wild bonus many, many times and I don't like the animations and sounds when griffin fly across the reels. Also when I had this bonus, I won only small winnings or nothing at all. And most of the times it gives me only one wild symbol. I really hate this wild bonus here at this game, it could be much more better with animations, sounds and payouts too.
