Mount Olympus invites you once again in this wintery sequence to battle mythological creatures and gather some impressive wins!
Kalamba Games have decided to create one more search for Mighty Griffin, this time happening during the cold winter season, but still featuring the same protagonists as their original release – pixies, unicorns Manticores – all set across 4-5-5-5-4 reel set, offering 2400 ways to win!
Prepare to face these fantasy creatures, and you will also come across several variants of Free Spins, Wild symbols and the Wheel Bonus that will help you win up to 26000x the stake!
Theme and Symbols
Quest X-Mas Edition is a special holiday edition of the popular Griffin's Quest game from the same provider, so, if you have seen the original, then you will surely know what to expect.
This fantasy-themed slot machine is set on the rocky Mount Olympus seen the transparent reels, with ancient buildings covered completely in snow, as well as a big black dragon in the setting that was taken from the ancient past.
The completely transparent reels are lined in Christmas decoration, with presents set in front of them, while, on them, you will see various mythological creatures such as gryphons, pegasus, unicorns and humanoid beings with horns and medusas, as well as, of course, the griffin, followed by some playing card symbols.
Mysterious soundtrack and sound effects follow the theme perfectly and will make you feel more like you are set on an ancient adventure.
Betting Options and Other Functions
This Greek mythology-themed title boasts a quite unusual reel set with 5 reels and 4-5-6-5-4 rows, offering 2400 pay lines.
It is a high volatility game with a return to player percentage of 96.50%, and the hit frequency of 22.96%. (see here)
But, before you begin your adventurous quest, you need to set your bets that range from $0.60 per spin, which is a little larger than what some may be comfortable with, and going up to $100.
Whenitcomestosymbols, 9, 10, J and Q are the lowest-rewarding symbols paying up to 1x the stake, followed by K, A, Pegasus and small Griffin.
Elf and Medusa are the medium-paying symbols, while Griffin will reward the most, up to 3,33x the bet.
This game also has Wild symbols which substitute for all other symbols except for the bonus and extra free spins symbols.
Special Features
Before we list the game's many special features, we should mention its three different special Wild symbols!
That's right! Besides acting as substitutes, these symbols also come with x2 and x3 multipliers!
Now, to trigger the Wheel Bonus, you need to land at least three bonus symbols, and when that occurs, you need to spin the reels and see whether you will get an instant prize or a free spins bonus with different multipliers attached to the wilds.
Just as with the original, here we also have a chance of buying the bonus game should we wish to get straight into the bonus, thanks to its Hyperbonus feature.
You can buy from 8 extra spins with 2x multiplier wilds all up to 20 free spins with 3x multiplier wilds, depending on how much you are willing to pay.
But, this is not all!
Each symbol, except for the special bonus and wild symbols has a corresponding Split symbol, which means that, when it lands, this symbol counts for either 2 or 3 matching symbols in the same position.
Lastly, we come to the most popular feature – the Free Spins feature!
To trigger it, you will collect Progressive Free Spins during the base game with the total number indicated in the Free Spins meter.
Plus, throughout this feature, 2 lightning Scatters grant 2 extra spins, while 3, 4, or 5 of a kind grant 3.60x, 9x and 18x with 5, 8, or 10 new spins.
Verdict
The devs at Kalamba Games made a right move by deciding to give their super popular game a Christmas edition that boasts everything the original does, starting from great graphics, simple gameplay, complemented with various rewarding features.
Despite its high variance, the game features good RTP percentage and an excellent maximum prize of 26000x the bet thanks to its multiplier wilds during the free spins bonus rounds.
