The game includes a total of 12 symbols, consisting of 10 regular symbols, along with a scatter and a wild symbol. Regular payouts begin with the 10-A royals, requiring a minimum of three for a win.

The premium symbols hold significant value, with payouts ranging from 20x to 150x for lines of five.
To access the most exciting features of the game, the Griffin Emblem symbol is essential. In the base game, it functions as a wild, substituting for any regular pay symbol. It also acts as a scatter, and when 3, 4, or 5 symbols are in view, it awards 10 free spins along with a payout of 2x, 20x, or 200x, respectively. In the bonus round, a new element is introduced—the roaming wild. This wild can substitute for any other symbol and remains on the reels throughout the feature. Before each subsequent free spin, it shifts to an adjacent position. Roaming wilds come with a multiplier, starting at x1. After a spin that includes the roaming wild in one or more wins, its multiplier increases by +1, reaching a maximum of x5.
If a payline win involves more than one roaming wild, their multipliers are multiplied together, potentially resulting in the highest multiplier of 125x (5x5x5). This feature enhances the game's potential for significant wins. Additionally, spins with one or more roaming wilds contributing to a win award an extra free spin.
