SYMBOLS
There are nine regular symbols split between five lows and four high-value tiles in this title.
On the low side, players will find classic A-10 card royals carved on rocks. These are worth between x1.5 and x2.5 the bet for a five-of-a-kind.
Next are high-value rings, cauldrons, books, and Merlin tiles. Landing five premiums on a payline is worth x10 to x250 the stake when all ten lines are active.
Lastly, Merlin’s staff serves as a scatter wild as he casts his spells across the reels. Morgana also plays a part on the reels as a special wild which can land one, two, or fully stacked symbols on one reel. Once fully stacked this symbol will activate the multiplier.
THE FEATURES
The title includes features such as a free spins round, expanding symbols and wild multipliers.
THE DETAILS
In the game, landing three or more Merlin staff scatter symbols awards 10 free spins. Before the feature begins, one pay symbol is selected at random to be the special expanding symbol for the full duration of the bonus round. With this, after any win, if the expanding symbol can form a win, it expands to cover all positions on its reel. Additionally, expanded Morgana wilds can substitute for special expanding symbols to complete winning combinations.
Furthermore, when Morgana wilds land stacked, they trigger the multiplier. Here, a random multiplier value of x2, x3, x5, or x8 is activated and then applied to all wins on the triggering spin. The multiplier also applies to any scatter wins.
Finally, players also have the chance to multiply their prize by correctly guessing the colour or suit of a face-down card.
WHAT THEY SAY
“Players love the Merlin series, we have already explored his relationship with the Lady of the Lake and wanted to dive deep into one of his more turbulent relationships,” said Play’n Go’s head of games, Charlotte Miliziano. “A little darker than its predecessor, Merlin and the Ice Queen Morgana embody the battle between good and evil.
“There’s another reason we enjoy working on these kinds of series. Like with Merlin, King Arthur and the gods of Norse mythology, new players already have some knowledge of these characters. They can fully immerse themselves in the narrative regardless of whether they’ve played our existing games.”
