UK software developer, Storm Gaming, brings you Magic Merlin, featuring the Megaways engine developed by Big Time Gaming. It is a 6 reel video slot, with 2 to 7 rows, is a medium volatility game with an average RTP of 95.71%.

Magic Merlin Design

You don’t win any prizes for guessing the theme here; yes, it’s magical and mysterious and features the wizard Merlin. There are plenty of magic wands, spell books, potions and glowing orbs to add to the atmosphere, and although it’s a theme that’s popular with slot games, the graphics are really impressive and it still looks fresh and new.Symbols include: Merlin, Orbs, Scrolls, Card Suits, Green Potion and Magic Wands.

Gameplay and features

You can wager from 20p to £100 per spin and there are some pretty neat features such as progressive multipliers, free spins, wilds and scatters. Obviously, the Megaways engine is central to the game, expanding the paylines up to a possible 117,649 ways to win.The free spins round is triggered by hitting at least 4 scatter symbols which is the Spell Book symbol. When this happens, you’ll get 12 free spins to start with and if you land more than 4 scatters, you’ll receive an extra 5 free spins for each scatter symbol over the minimum 4.There is also a cascading symbol, which in this case, is called the ‘Reaction’ feature. When this happens, the winning symbols vanishes and a new symbol appears at the top of the reels and cascades down. This keeps going until you stop winning. You can also win up to 50,000x your stake, but this is capped at £250,000, not an amount to be sniffed at!

Verdict

Magic Merlin isn’t particularly unique or innovative as it’s a theme that’s already popular and the megaways engine features in plenty of other slots. But that being said, it’s still a really exciting and fun game to play! It’s been executed really well and if you’re a fan of wizards and megaways, you’ll love it.
