Software: Play ‘n Go

Paylines: 10

Reels: 5

RTP: 96.00%

Merlin’s story is brought to life once again, but this time the wizard is getting the starring role, rather than just cast as one of Camelot’s sidekicks. Created by Play ‘n Go, this video slot is well-designed, as most titles are from this particular developer and it pays out a jackpot worthy of the wizard’s lofty repute.

When it comes to the way the game is actually played, it’s all going to happen on five reels that have 10 active lines. There are rewards of up to 5,000x total stake to be had, impressive whatever the wager value that is being used, but more so if you decide to max it out. In other areas, players will see the game’s scatter/wild symbols, free spins or the special expanding symbols.

Highly volatile, what you want is for Merlin to be picked to be the special expanding symbol. If you then get a Merlin symbol on each reel, it will expand to give you a screen full of Merlin symbols. This will result in the maximum win of 5,000 times your total stake!

The concept of Rise of Merlin isn’t necessarily what punters might call as original nor unique but it has great win potential and the graphics and animations are of very high quality.

Rise of Merlin delivers an experience that players will surely enjoy. Although it definitely could use a lot more originality, it has huge rewards to give away, which is an element that a lot of punters always look forward to.

FEATURE SYMBOLS

The symbols on the reels include A, K, Q, J, and 10 card values. You will also see owls, two dragons and Merlin the wizard himself. Merlin is the most rewarding symbol by some distance giving you one, 10, 100 or 500 times your stake for two, three, four or five across a payline.

The mysterious crystal ball is the scatter and wild symbol. And like Merlin, five on a payline will reward you with 500 times your stake. If you get three or more wild/scatter symbols, you will activate the Free Spins feature. Eight free spins will be your reward.

BONUS ROUNDS

Free Spins

Before the free spins begin, a regular symbol (except the wild/scatter) will be picked at random to be the special expanding symbol. When this appears, it will expand to take over the whole reel. If you get one on each reel, you will fill the reels with the same symbol.

Finally, three or more wild/scatters appearing on a free spin will re-trigger the feature and give you eight additional free spins. In addition, an extra special expanding symbol is chosen randomly so you’ll have two of them in play for eight free spins. You can re-trigger again and again with eight free spins awarded each time. Each retrigger gives you one more special expanding symbol with up to nine possible.

Rise of Merlin is similar to Book of Dead, which also happens to be developed by Play ‘n Go as well, as it comes with a special expanding symbol in the Free Spins feature. The difference here is that you will play with up to nine special expanding symbols if you manage different re-triggers. This gives you more chances to score massive wins!
