The main mechanic is linked to the Griffin Emblem. It works as both Wild and Scatter, helps form winning combinations and triggers the bonus mode when three or more land. The base game remains a classic 5-reel pokie with fixed lines, while its main potential is revealed during Free Spins.

Bonus mode

Free Spins are triggered by the Griffin Emblem. Roaming Wilds become active in the bonus game: these special Wild symbols move across the reels and can take part in winning combinations. Successful matches increase the Wild Multiplier, making the bonus round the main source of large payouts.

Additional Scatter symbols can land during Free Spins and extend the bonus mode. Retriggers and increasing multipliers can create stronger sequences, although high volatility means these moments do not appear in every playing session.

Theme and style

Beat the Beast: Griffin's Gold uses a fantasy-mythological style. The reels feature a griffin, golden artefacts, ancient symbols, weapons, musical instruments, Wild, Scatter and classic card values.

The visual style focuses on ancient ruins, treasure and a confrontation with a mythical guardian. This is not an overloaded pokie with dozens of functions, but a clear Thunderkick game with fixed lines, bonus Free Spins, Roaming Wilds and a high maximum win.
