Summary
- New magic themed slot from Slotmill
- Small betting range from $0.20 to $30
- Good RTP of 96.27 percent
Slotmill has come out with a new magic themed slot titled “Merlin’s Fortune“. Players are taken to Merlin’s castle and they will have to look for clues to find treasure.
The developer has done a great job with the graphics to create a calm summer night with lots of stars in the night sky.
Also, magical sound effects combine well to create a lot of intrigue as the game unfolds.
Making Magic
The action starts out on a 6 x 4 grid. This is a big grid and there are 4,096 ways to win. It can get bigger as the special features come into play. While there are a lot of ways to win, the max cash jackpot is set at $180.
The betting range for this game can be a problem since it is fairly limited. Players can only bet between $0.20 and $30. This makes the game great for those without a small bankroll but not desirable for high rollers who want to bet big.
As for the symbols, the paytable is a mix between thematic symbols and the card royals. The card royals are the low-value symbols while Merlin, his magical animals and various magical gems are the higher paying symbols. Players will also have two special symbols to work with. One is the W, which is the Wild, and the other is the Blue Orb, which is the Bonus Scatter.
Special Features
One feature that makes this game special causes the grid to expand to a 6×8 grid with 262,144 ways to win. This happens randomly, so players don’t know when it will happen. It is better to just keep playing and see if you get lucky.
Players will also have the Avalanche feature to help them win multiple times. Winning combinations disappear and new symbols appear to replace them. If a new combination is created, the feature continues. Additionally, when two Bonus Scatter symbols land beside each other, all low-value symbols are turned into a more rewarding symbol.
Players can also get free spins by scoring three or more Scatter symbols. Players can then get up to 18 free spins and even have a chance to add more spins and rows to the grid. The Fast Track feature can make this happen instantly as long as players are willing to pay for it. This game has a high RTP of 96.27 percent.
