The Grand Journey Slot Full Review

Over the last two or three years the name Microgaming has become synonymous with high quality, immersive online slots that not only play great, but also look and sound great. The Grand Journey, a newly released Microgaming online slot is no exception. A combination of an incredibly well designed graphical environment which immerses the online slot player into an epic jungle exploration theme, along with some excellent gameplay features including wild symbols. Scatter symbols and a healthy fixed payout jackpot are sure to make The Grand Journey one of the most popular slots of 2012.

The Grand Journey features 5 reels with 30 possible pay lines. With a minimum bet of $0.30 to open up all 30 pay lines, and a maximum bet of $12.00, this is an online slot which will suit both beginners and expert players alike.

The fixed limit jackpot is quite healthy, with a maximum payout (including the application of the multiplier feature) of $24,000. However, only players who wager the maximum bet can expect to achieve this level of jackpot payout.

Wild Symbol:

The Grand Journey logo symbol is used as the wild symbol. It can appear on every reel, and can also double cash wins when spun in as part of a pay line win. A second wild symbol is also featured, which is depicted by a time machine symbol. When this wild symbol spins in on reel 3 it can turn the entire reel wild.

Scatter Symbol:

The planet Earth is depicted as the scatter symbol. When two or more scatter symbols spin in on any reel the scatter feature activates. If three or more scatter symbols spin in, then the free spins round is also triggered, which instantly awards the online slots player with 15 free spins, and initiate the multiplier trail.

Free Spins:

As mentioned above, spinning in 3 or more scatter symbols will trigger the free spins round. While free spins are active the new Microgaming developed multiplier trail is in effect. Each time a free spin is used, the multiplier is increased by a value of 1 (up to a maximum of 10). Once win is spun in, the current multiplier value is used to calculate a new win amount, and is then reset.
