Rise Of Merlin Slot

Rise Of Merlin Slot Review

Magic, money and mystery await in the Rise of Merlin slot, plus a shedload of free spins opportunities. Created by the Swedish software provider Play’N Go, the team of talented slot game developers took inspiration from the legendary wizard from Arthurian lore to create a stunning masterpiece. Boasting a 5×3 reel engine with 10 adjustable win lines, this one promises wins of up to £500K, but only if magic be on your side!

To win, matching symbols must fall on at least two consecutive reels, which typically comes as standard. The bonus elements kick in when you land certain icons on specific reels. Accessible on both desktop and mobile, Rise of Merlin offers regular but small value wins to keep you entertained.

Rise Of Merlin Slot Bets and Pays

Unlike many Play’N Go slots, Rise of Merlin doesn’t benefit from a pre-set stake function. This means to set your bets you need to adjust the coin value as well as the coins to get to a stake that suits your style of play. There are 10 win lines on this 5-reel engine and those can be altered too, however, by reducing those lines in play you will subsequently be reducing your chances of winning per spin.

Playable from 10p to a maximum high roller £100 a spin, players can land wins by spinning in three low value matching symbols on consecutive reels from left to right, or two high paying symbols. Card values of 10, J, Q, K and A pay up to 80, 80, 80, 120 and 120 coins respectively while owl, ice dragon, fire dragon and merlin award up to 600, 600, 1,600 and 5,000 coins respectively.

There is a special symbol that not only awards the same value win as Merlin but free spins and scatter pays too – the crystal orb. Three, four or five anywhere in view triggers an instant pay of 2, 20 or 200 coins.

Rise Of Merlin Slot Features

There is just one feature to benefit from in the Rise of Merlin slot and that is the free spins feature.

Three or more scatter/wild orbs awards the bonus round where as many as 250,000 coins can be won! Before your free spins get underway, a specially chosen symbol is pulled at random and this then becomes an expanding symbol. For low paying symbols (card values), three anywhere in view sees the magic unfold. High paying symbols only need two anywhere in view to kick-start those wins. During the bonus, all instances of that specially chosen symbol will expand when 2 or 3 or more appear in view.

If you were to land a Merlin as the special symbol anywhere on all 5 reels, this will lead to an entire 5×3 grid of Merlin symbols and that top prize of 250,000 coins!

What’s the Verdict?

Despite the magical wizard theme, the Rise of Merlin slot is very much identical to that of Book of Dead. Graphics and audio are superb and the amount you can win is equally as mesmerising, but the time it takes to get your hands on the free spins is what sees players switching games.

Highly volatile reel engines are designed to keep the big wins for longer periods, but in some instances, you don’t even get to witness the magic unfold. Players with a small bankroll are less likely to land free games than those with a high roller style of play, so bear that in mind when deciding on a stake.
