Mediaeval adventure is the theme on offer in the Mighty Griffin Megaways slot, another superbly designed game from Blueprint Gaming that uses the explosive, shape-shifting game engine. It’s a 6 reel slot where the number of ways to win can reach up to 117,649. Look out for cascading reels, mystery symbols and a free spins round with an expanding multiplier. You could also land a progressive jackpot prize. Stakes in this high variance slot range from between 10p and £10 per spin.
Go back to the Middle Ages
Blueprint Gaming are one of our favourite developers when it comes to design. Their slots usually feature very neat, crisp and clear imagery and that’s the case with Mighty Griffin Megaways. With a valley in the background, you’ll see a mighty castle perched on a hill.
On the reels are A to 9 royals as well as an assortment of rings, crowns and griffin symbols – the latter pays 50 times your stake for 6 in combination. The wild can appear in the 4 symbol window at the top of the reels. It’s all impressively done.
Cascading reels
Land a winning combination and the successful symbols are removed and new ones drop in and replace them. The cascades continue as long as a new winner is formed. This is called the Cascading Symbols feature and is common amongst Megaways slot games.
Megaways mechanic
The number of symbols on each of the 6 reels changes with each spin. The more symbols, the more potential ways to win. You can see between 2 and 7 symbols per reel – randomly. If all the reels are at their maximum size, you’ll have 117,649 ways to create a winning combination.
Mystery symbols
This has become a staple of Megaways slots. All instances of the special mystery symbol transform into the same matching standard symbol. A payout calculation is then made with all the newly transformed symbols in place.
Free spins with plenty of extras
Land 3 or more scatters on the same spin and you’ll activate the Free Spins feature. Those bonus scatters are held and the other reels respin in the Golden Streak feature. If more bonus scatters land here, extra free spins will be added to your allocation.
You’ll be offered the chance of a gamble before the feature starts which can increase the number of free spins. Lose and you could lose all your free spins.
Expanding multipliers
The cascading reels are active in the free spins round, just like in the base game. Each successive cascading win during the bonus increases a multiplier by 1x in the Unlimited Win Multiplier feature – the multiplier can increases infinitely! Land 3 or 4 scatters in the windows at the top of the reels and you’ll add another 5 or 10 free spins to your total – again, infinitely.
Buy the bonus
If you don’t want to wait to trigger the Free Spins feature naturally, you’ll be given the opportunity to pay for a trigger. This Legend Free Spins Bonus Bet feature will set you back 75 times your total bet and guarantees at least 3 scatters and a free spins trigger. Unfortunately, this is not available to UK players.
Progressive jackpots
The Mighty Griffin Megaways slot is part of the Jackpot King Network which offers players a shot at landing a progressive jackpot prize. Land 4 Jackpot King overlay symbols to trigger this round, then spin the Wheel King for a chance to land the big one. By the way, the jackpots offered vary from casino to casino so shop around to see who has the biggest totals.
Volatile Megaways play
Mighty Griffin Megaways is just what we’ve come to expect from one of Blueprint Gaming’s Megaways releases. The design is excellent and the combination of cascading reels, mystery symbols, free spins and expanding multipliers make for some entertaining gameplay.
It’s volatile too – you can win up to 50,000 x bet on each free spin with the unlimited multiplier. Add the progressive jackpot round and this high variance game becomes well worth considering. The RTP is 95.95% which is lower than other Megaways titles but it does factor in progressive jackpots. Another Megaways game with progressive jackpots is Tiki Treasures Megaways which is equally as good.
