THE PITCH
Lady Merlin is a 5×3-4, 432-payline video slot which incorporates a Lightning Chase mechanic and a Boom+ ante bet.
VOLATILITY
Medium – High
RTP
95 per cent
SYMBOLS
The symbols within this title consist of the A-J royal low value symbols as well as five variously coloured potions as the high-pays, stored in bigger and more elaborate bottles. As to values, a five of a kind win made up of premium symbols is worth a payout of x3.6 to x10 the stake.
Moving on to wilds, these are one of the main beneficiaries of the Boom+ feature and appear only on reels two and four. When turned off, wilds substitute for all other symbols except the collect symbol. When activated, wilds substitute for the collect and scatter as well.
When wilds are used in a winning combination, the value is multiplied by their win multiplier. In the base game, this is x2 but increases during free spins.
THE FEATURES
Lady Merlin includes features such as respins, a Boom+ ante bet and a free spins bonus game.
THE DETAILS
Featuring the Lightning Chase mechanic, this sees coils randomly land on the reels with a cash value. All prizes are immediately awarded when the collect symbol lands. Should the player also land six or more coils, they’ll be awarded with the respins feature.
The dashing titular character acts as a wild, whilst a wild multiplier is also in play, starting at x2 in the base game. Utilising Boomerang’s Boom+ ante bet extends the suite of features.
Moreover, in order to trigger the free spins mode, players must land three or more scatters, represented by Lady Merlin gazing into her orb. During the round, whenever a wild or scatter lands on the reels, the wild multiplier and free spins counters will increase by one for extended bonus game play and increased win potential.
WHAT THEY SAY
“Following Boomerang’s recent classic-themed Joker slot, Lady Merlin is an exciting, feature-filled fantasy hit, showcasing the studio’s dynamic and creative remit,” remarked Stuart McCarthy, head of partner programs at Yggdrasil.
“With two types of bonus rounds, huge multiplier potential and an innovative art style, there’s lots to look forward to in our latest YG Masters release.”
David Johnson, CEO at ReelPlay, added: “Lady Merlin is a fast and fun, multi-layered fantasy from ReelPlay’s partner Boomerang Games. We continue to facilitate and curate the industry’s sharpest content as part of the YG Masters program and we’re excited for players to enjoy another thrilling release.”
