Rise Of Merlin

I’m not really into  magic and spells, however  I could change my mind for a good slot.  It has happened before on the Age of Conquest slot..

Rise of Merlin slot from Play’n GO (the people behind the Fire Joker slot and others) has wins of up to  5000x your bet on offer if you’re lucky – so it looks promising.

The Facts

Rise of Merlin is a 5 reel and 3 row online slot from Play’n GO. This game has 10 paylines and is a high variance slot, like many Play’n GO titles.

The maximum win is 5000x and features include Expanding Symbols, Free Spins, Scatters and Wilds. This slot was launched in June 2019.

The Basics

Based on the legendary wizard from Arthurian lore, Rise of Merlin slot follows the infamous sorcerer chap in his younger days before he became the mythical figure he is today. Well, he’s not looking that young with that full grey beard, but he is trimming it at this point.

And best of all – this slot also comes with unlimited re-triggerable Free Spins.

Merlin, you are a true gentlemen.

The Graphics

The game’s reels are set in a massive wizard’s chamber that has been decorated in blues, greens and pinks while the reels feature some rather nicely designed icons. Simple but tasteful

Rise of Merlin Slot Game Play

Rise of Merlin slot has 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 paylines. If you want Ways to Win, try the Eskimo Dough slot as this game has a more traditional set up.

It can be played from only 0.10 up to 100.00 coins per spin. Match 3x or more symbols across any of the ten winning paylines to pick yourself up a win!

Pay Table

Your reel symbols conjure up all manner of magical beasts and include; wise owls, 2 dragons, and Merlin himself plus the standard 10, J, Q, K &A playing cards. As you might expect, the most lucrative icon on the pay-table is Merlin who brings winnings up to 500x your bet for 5x in a row.

Merlin’s mystical blue Orb is both the Wild and the Scatter in this game, so it will replace any other symbol to help create more wins and will also set off the bonus.

The Bonuses

The Free Spins round can be triggered by landing 3x or more Orb icons anywhere on the reels, which will give you 8 Free Spins. Now one symbol will be chosen at random to become your expanded symbol during the spins – and it will cover an entire reel.

If you were awarded a lower paying symbol you’ll need to hit 3x of these for the reels to expand, if it was a picture icon then you only require 2x to land before your reels will expand.

Every time you re-trigger the Free Spins another symbol will be chosen as the expanding icon. If this happens then each symbol will be expanded in turn for you to collect wins on each one, starting with the lowest paying symbol. If you re-trigger Free Spins enough times, then ALL symbols will become expanded symbols!

And don’t forget, you can re-trigger this bonus as many times as you can, and you’ll get another eight spins each time.

The Monkey Verdict

The Rise Of Merlin slot is all about those Expanding Symbols.

You’ve probably come across it before in Book of Dead and I’m pleased to see this feature make a return.

Well done to Play’n GO – another top game from  those Swedish maestros.
