The next lot of Microgaming online casino games will go live on February 8. Though there has been no official announcement from Microgaming as yet, some of the Fortune Lounge online casinos like Royal Vegas and Vegas Palms have previewed the slot games in their news sections.

The most promising of the new Microgaming releases appears to be the Great Griffin online slot. The Royal Vegas online casino blog explains, "The mythical griffin - a combination of a lion's body and the wings and head of an eagle – has been feared and respected down through the ages as a powerful creature famed for guarding treasure." The superbly illustrated medieval theme slot game is set in an eerie alchemist's castle. The symbols on the reels depict a host of sorcerer's tools such as magic crystals, spell books, potion flasks, mysterious plants, along with the hooded lady of the castle and the majestic and legendary griffin. Stepping up the bar for animations in online slots games, Microgaming has the griffin flying across the reels to scratch random symbols with great razor sharp claws and turning them into wild griffin symbols that double the payouts.

The 50 paylines across four rows of symbols offer opportunities for generous payouts. The main game offers rewards of up to 50,000 coins, the free spins offer a maximum payout of ten times that amount and wins up to 750,000 coins are achievable in the bonus game. Three hooded lady symbols appearing on reels 2, 3 and 4 trigger the Pick Me Bonus. The player picks one of the symbols to reveal a prize, a pick again or a win all. When the hooded lady symbol appears on reels 3, 4 and 5, the free spins are triggered. Players have to choose from 15 free spins with a 3x multiplier, 10 free spins at a 5x multiplier and 5 free spins at a 10x multiplier. The free spins can be retriggered. In a major departure from the conditions usually applied in online slots, should the Pick Me Bonus be activated in a free spin Microgaming Great Griffin applies the free spins multiplier to prizes won.

The Royal Vegas blog claims that Great Griffin is undoubtedly going to be one of the biggest online games this year. "This is a game that has everything – Wilds, Extra Wilds, Scatters, Multipliers, Free Spins and great bonuses in an entertaining and interactive package that offers multiple and varied opportunities to score." All the Fortune Lounge online casinos are powered by software from Microgaming and will offer Great Griffin to their players next month. These also include Platinum Play, 7 Sultans and Vegas Villa. All Fortune Lounge casinos are licensed by the Lotteries and Gaming Authority of Malta and are great sites for wagering online.
