Play Gryphon's Gold Deluxe for Free

The legendary Griffin – or Gryphon – is a fabled creature which has the head, talons and wings of an eagle and the rear body of a lion, and as such, it was a natural symbol of divine power. It has appeared in the mythological canons of many ancient civilisations; from Ancient Greece to Persia and Ancient Egypt. Even in the middle ages through to the modern day, the Griffin has been used as in many guises; from heraldic emblems to being referenced in the Harry Potter books. Now, the mighty griffin has made an appearance in this fairytale themed slot machine by Novomatic.

In fact, the leading mythical creature of Gryphon's Gold Deluxe is just one of many magical beasts and mystical characters to make an appearance. That is because the game's symbols also feature a pair of dwarves, a shining white unicorn, a beautiful fairy and a couple of tree people. Meanwhile there are some other staple props for any fantasy adventure such as toadstool mushrooms and a castle with towering spires.

If you are familiar with Novomatic video slots, then you will be savvy to the fact that they aren't often at the cutting edge of game design. And that shows in Grypon's Gold Deluxe with its somewhat out-dated visual aspect. However, in a strange way, the two dimensional illustrations on the game screen actually work in favour to complement the them as they resemble the traditional illustrations who might find on an old copy of an epic fantasy adventure novel. So, even though the reels aren't bursting with 3D animations, the game is still very pleasant to have a spin of.

Regardless of what this slot machine looks like, nothing can change the fact that this game has a whopping 9,000,000 credit jackpot potential. The reason for this, perhaps, is due to the fact that there are only 10 paylines upon the 5 reels, so wins aren't going to come your way with every spin. However, when the symbols do align upon the paylines from left to right, you can expect some decent line bet multiplier prizes, as you can see in the table below:

Punters can opt to play with just one solitary payline, all 10, or any number in-between. Meanwhile, the wagering options range from the minimum line bet of 4 credits to the maximum line bet of 1,000x credits.

Gryphon's Gold Deluxe doesn't throw up any particular surprises when it comes down to the special gameplay, but it will offer players some very lucrative bonus boosts. For a start, the game's leading mythical beast – the gryphon – acts as a wild symbol, substituting for all other line bet multiplier paying icons to complete payline sequences. Plus, when it does fill in for another icon, it will double the normal winning prize.

This game also features a scatter icon – represented by the two trees with human faces – which will award total bet multipliers of 2x, 5x, 20x and 500x whenever two, three, four or five appear on the reels regardless of payline position. Three or more scatters will also trigger 15 free spins during which all wins will be tripled in value.

Gryphon's Gold is one of many fantasy themed slot machines by Novomatic software. The game does offer some unique design-work which focuses on a variety of magnificent mythical creatures and characters. Therefore, there are plenty of pleasant spins to be had, even if the aesthetic is a bit out of date. One aspect of the game that will always remain relevant, however, is the fact that it offers some big money wins up to 9,000,000 credits with double wild wins and triple value free spins.
