Rise of Merlin is a slot machine with up to 10 connections. Before your rounds, you can choose the number of lines you wish to bet on.

How the Rise of Merlin bonus works

To get the bonus on Rise of Merlin, you must have at least three scatter symbols on your grid. However, if you get 4 or even 5 scatters, your starting bet is multiplied by 20 and 200 respectively. Be careful, the number of scatters does not affect the number of spins you get.

After obtaining the minimum 3 scatters, the slot machine will randomly choose a symbol from all available symbols. Note that it is impossible to have a wild symbol.

In order for a symbol to connect outside the bonus games, a symbol must connect at least on the first three lines. There are a few changes to your bonus. If you have a symbol: merlin, red dragon, white dragon or an owl, all you need is for this symbol to appear twice on your grid to connect. However, with the symbols: 10, J, Q, K and A, you need the symbol to appear at least three times on your grid to connect. In the following example, the king is present on rolls 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. As soon as the symbol chosen by the slot machine appears three times on your grid, the symbol extends across the entire column and connects with all similar symbols, no matter where they are on the grid.

You start all your bonus games with 8 free spins. However, if you get 3 times the scatter symbol, then you will be entitled to 8 more free spins and a new symbol. You can get all the symbols if you are lucky. The more symbols and free spins you have, the more chance you have of winning a big win.

Our opinion on Rise of Merlin

Rise of Merlin is an extremely enjoyable slot machine. Thanks to a design enhanced by carefully chosen colours, you will be delighted to spend hours on this slot machine. In addition, the volatility of this slot machine will captivate you and increase your balance significantly. Although it is extremely volatile, Rise of Merlin does not necessarily pay all the time. In fact, when opting for your bonuses, it is very common to come across "dead bonuses", i.e. bonuses that give very little money.
