Amazing Builder Gryphon Slot Review
You couldn't buy a griffin in medieval Europe, but you could buy the parts. Cathedrals and nobles kept “authenticated” griffin claws and eggs 🥚 in the treasury, right next to the good silver.
The claw was a horn off an ibex 🐐. The egg came off an ostrich. Neither was worth diddly but the whole thing was wrapped in worked gold and silver.
Our next game is Amazing Builder Gryphon slot, and it comes from Games Global. There’s no relic here, they hand over the whole animal 😉: carved in gold beside the reels, blue stones set into him, a waterfall running behind.
Gameplay
Usually, it's dragons that are guarding mounds of gold coins, but this time it's our old friend, the Gryphon. He is staring at us from the right of the screen, and next to him are three chests colored in green, red, and purple, which will become important during the features section.
The 5x3 grid has 20 paylines, the RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.
RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. is 96.5%, volatility is medium/high, and the max multiplier is 5,000x. The max win is $250,000, with bets running from $0.10 to $50. It’s fiat currencies only here, but the Japanese yen doesn't make the cut.
At the bottom of the paytable, the A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9 symbols all pay 1x for 5 of a kind. The Sword and Necklace pay 2x for 5, Cup and Ring pay 2.5x for 5, and the Feather sits above them at 5x for 5.
The Gryphon Wild tops the paytable at 10x for 5 of a kind and substitutes for everything except the Bonus symbols. It comes stacked on all reels, and works the base game only, so don't go looking for it once the feature starts.
Four fixed jackpots sit beside the reels. The Mini pays 10x, Minor pays 20x, Major pays 100x, and Mega pays 5,000x, which is the whole max multiplier.
Features
FREE SPINS:
Land 1 or more Bonus symbols (green, red, or purple to match those Chests) and there's a chance the Amazing Builder - which is what the studio has deemed, in its eternal wisdom, to christen Free Spins - can trigger.
You get no say in which of the 3 versions runs, because the color of the Bonus symbols that landed makes that call for you. Either way, the award is 8 spins.
Line pays are switched off for the whole feature, so those 8 spins pay nothing on their own.
Amazing Builder symbols add a Purple frame to a position, or upgrade a frame that's already there. Purple upgrades to Red, and Red upgrades to Gold. Once a frame lands on a position, it's held for the rest of the feature.
An Amazing Builder symbol that drops on a position already holding a Gold frame gets moved at random to a position without one. Every Extra Spin symbol that lands hands you 1 more spin.
The feature ends when no spins remain, or when every position holds a Gold frame. Then each frame reveals and awards either a cash prize or the Mini, Minor or Major jackpot.
Ignite Builder
This is the green Bonus symbol's version. A random number of Amazing Builder symbols are added to the reels, and every position one of them lands on either gains a Purple frame or has its existing frame upgraded.
Double Builder
The purple Bonus symbol runs this version. All reels grow to a height of 6 symbol positions for the feature, up from the base 3, which doubles the number of frames you're being asked to fill.
Multi-Builder
Red Bonus symbols bring this version. Multi-Builder symbols are added to the reels for the whole feature, and each one awards up to 3 Amazing Builder symbols on a single position.
PICK AND CLICK:
Collecting Gold Coin symbols can randomly trigger this at the end of a base game spin, and only after a spin that didn't result in the Amazing Builder feature.
Match 3 icons and that jackpot is yours. If one of the 3 matching Major, Minor or Mini icons carries a 2x, 3x or 5x, the jackpot gets multiplied by it.
Mega is one of the 4 jackpot icons sitting in this pick, but as you may have figured out, this is the only one that can’t be boosted by multipliers.
Performance
Griffins are old school, yo, but the modern software that this game is built on is anything but gray and cranky. I gave it a whirl on my phone and laptop, and everything went just fine.
Maximum Win
The top bet of $50 against the max multiplier of 5,000x produces the max win of $250,000. The smallest bet you can place is $0.10.
Conclusion
The money is in the frame reveals at the end of the Amazing Builder feature and in that 4-tier ladder.
The RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.
RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. supports longer sessions rather than a quick smash and grab. The volatility sits at medium/high, so a 5,000x max multiplier is (barely) acceptable.
Your only route into the Amazing Builder feature is landing Bonus symbols, so budget for a wait rather than a shortcut, because there ain’t none.
Patient players betting near the $0.10 floor are in the right seat. Anyone who wants the base game to keep them company between features should pass, and so should anyone who'd rather earn the big one than have a random pick screen hand it over.
