Royal Griffin Review

With the Royal Griffin slot, developer Ruby Play expands its range of fantasy-themed games, once again taking players on a journey to faraway magical kingdoms. The slot comes packed with knights, mythical beasts, free spins, respins, jackpots, and rewards over 2,000x the bet.

The studio has always been somewhat of an expert when it comes to game design, and the Royal Griffin slot is absolutely fantastic on the outside. The branded cartoonish graphics are as charming as ever, and the sound aspect is also on spot, immersing you deep into the fantasy atmosphere. The slot plays out across a 5-reel, 3-row grid with 30 winlines, and behind it, a gorgeous sunset illuminating green hills, blue lakes, and a medieval castle in the rear makes up the backdrop. A pretty sight indeed.

Royal Griffin Slot - Reel Screen

The Royal Griffin slot is accessible from any device and playable from £0.2 to £100 per spin, which should appeal to many. Medium-volatile, it comes with a higher-than-average RTP of 96.47%. The hit rate is also decent, clocking in at 27.28%, so you should get your returns pretty often.

The max win, however, is less impressive, being capped at 2,300x the stake.

As we head over to the symbol collection, we see four classic A-J royals on the lower side, as well as a bunch of theme-related symbols making up the premium lot. They are in ascending order keys, rings, cups, helmets, and knights. All symbols pay from 3-of-a-kind and more, and combinations of five symbols are worth from 0.8x to 5x your bet. The griffin symbol is Wild. It can appear on all reels to substitute for any other regular symbols, but it does not have its own value.

Finally, all symbols can appear stacked on the reels, including Wild griffins, so full-screen wins are possible.

Royal Griffin Slot Features

Most wins in the Royal Griffin slot come from the two bonus features and their upgraded versions. Both the Scatter and Bonus symbols have Super versions, which trigger the respective bonus with an enhancement.

Landing 3 Scatter symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5 during the base game triggers 10 Free Spins. It operates in a similar way to the base game, but a major difference is that the number of win lines increases to 243.

If the feature is triggered with at least one Super Scatter symbol, then 10 Super Free Spins are awarded instead. During the bonus, all Wild symbols expand to cover the reels entirely whenever they appear in view. Both features can be retriggered, which awards +10 additional spins.

Look out for Prize symbols that display random cash values or Mini, Minor, or Major jackpot awards, worth 10x, 50x, or 250x the bet respectively. When 6 or more instances appear, the Jackpot Mania feature is activated. Players are awarded 3 respins and proceed to special reels where only cash symbols and blanks are available.

The triggering symbols lock in the position, and each new cash symbol that lands during the feature also turns sticky, as well as resets the respins counter back to 3. The Jackpot Mania feature continues until the player runs out of respins or when all positions are filled with cash symbols.

If the bonus ends with filing the reels, an additional Grand Jackpot of 1,000x the bet is awarded.

If the feature is triggered with at least one Super Prize symbol, then a Super Jackpot Mania is awarded instead. In the upgraded bonus, cash symbols turn into Super Prize symbols, which have higher values.

Review Summary

To sum up, Royal Griffin is fairly nice, although there’s still room for improvement. The features are fun and the bonus upgrades add a new dimension of entertainment and rewards. Still, the max win is lame, so the game won’t capture the hearts and minds of many.
