Rise of Merlin is a slot based on the medieval theme and the sorcerer Merlin from the developers of Play'n GO.
In the world of online slots, medieval legends or characters they are dedicated to are very often used. A lot of slots use the legend of King Arthur and his sword, but we don't know much about the wizard Merlin. Although, as the myths say, he was a mentor and faithful adviser to King Arthur, and before that, his father Uther. And now the Play'n GO development team has decided to release an interesting slot machine that is completely dedicated to the sorcerer Merlin - called Rise of Merlin.
Having opened the Rise of Merlin slot machine, you will enter the hall of the palace, with huge arches and large columns, this is the place that was chosen to place the game screen. On the technical side, Rise of Merlin comes with five reels and ten paylines. Based on the legend of the magician Merlin, on the game reels you will see the characters present in it, namely the owl, white and red dragon, these images are average in value. To them in addition added card names representing the least value. The main character Merlin is the most valuable symbol, and when five of them appear on the playing field, you will receive a win of 500 times your initial bet. By the way, the crystal ball, which is both a wild and a scatter symbol, offers the same payouts, that is, for a combination of five images, you will receive a win of 500 times your bet. Also, the crystal ball performs the standard functions of replacing missing images in the game, and when dropped in the right amount, it activates free spins.
Starting to consider the bonus features of the Rise of Merlin slot machine, it is worth noting that many players will notice an obvious resemblance to the popular games of the Ra series. The fact is that it is so, because the bonus round in the Rise of Merlin slot is the same as in these models with very small differences.
Free Spins Feature - is activated when 3 or more symbols in the form of a crystal ball appear on the playing field. After that, you will receive the corresponding payout, as well as eight free spins. Before the spins are triggered, you will see symbols start to appear in the crystal ball in order to choose one that will act according to special rules. The selected symbol, when it appears on the playing field in the required amount, will expand in order to completely fill the game drum on which it fell out. The advantage is that you will have the opportunity to increase the number of free spins. To do this, you need to get three more crystal balls during the function. Note that after this, another expanding character will be selected. It turns out that the more scatter symbols you get during the function, the more symbols turn into expanding ones.
