Beat the Beast Griffin's Gold Review

In appearance, Griffin's Gold slot comes across pretty similarly to the other games also, but this time it’s centered around the part lion, part eagle creature from greek mythology. It might not be the scariest beast of the lot, but it’s certainly guarding the biggest treasure. Unlike some of the other Beast games, the base game is pretty stripped down here. You will therefore need more patience to appreciate this game, and hang in there until the “hit or miss” bonus round is finally triggered.

Beat the Beast Griffin's Gold Features

The Golden Griffin Emblem symbol serves double duty as both the game’s wild and scatter symbol. As a wild, it can step in for all regular symbols to help you form winning combos. However, the real fun starts when you land 3, 4 or 5 golden griffin scatter wilds anywhere on the same spin.

This triggers the free spins bonus round, and gives you an up-front scatter win of either 2x, 20x or 200x, respectively. You will then get 10 free spins no matter how many scatters you landed, and the feature comes with sticky roaming wilds. The roaming wilds move to an adjacent position on each new spin, and landing a winner with a roaming wild also adds 1 extra free spin to your tally.

However, these roaming wilds have more tricks up their sleeve. Each wild can develop a multiplier up to 5x, and the multiplier value increases by +1 each time a roaming wild is included in a winning combo. You can have up to 3 roaming wilds at the same time on the reels, and the respective multiplier values will multiply with each other when more than one wild is included in a winning combo.

This means that a massive 125x multiplier boost is possible if you have three 5x multiplier wilds roaming around on the reels. As you probably understand, the roaming progressive multiplier wilds are the key to bigger payouts here, and massive wins up to 22,222x your stake is possible via this feature.

The 200 Spins Beat the Beast Griffin's Gold Experience

The base game admittedly doesn’t offer too much action here, and it’s basically something you need to power through to get to the all-important bonus round. If you’re curious as to what that might look like with all the multiplier wild action, you can check out our 200 spins highlights video below.

Review Summary

With Griffin's Gold Thunderkick’s volatile Beat the Beast series has finally come to a grinding halt. The first game, Kraken’s Lair, got everyone’s hopes up, but the follow-up games ended up being too similar to the first one to make a lasting impression. Luckily, they saved the best for last, and this allows the heavy-hitting pentology to end on a high note.

The eye-watering 22,222x max win is the highest potential by far in this series. It puts Griffin's Gold squarely in the same weight class as other Thunderkick big shots like Carnival Queen and Riders of the Storm. The base game grind might be a bit tedious for some players though, and like with all volatile beasts, the bonus round creates a merciless “David vs Goliath” hit or miss situation.

Pros

• Definitely a worthy ending to Thunderkick’s Beat the Beast series
• Bonus round with roaming progressive multiplier wilds
• High volatility and 22,222x max win potential

Cons

• Probably too volatile for most casual, low-risk players
