Merge Up Slot Review

Being in a relationship is awesome. When it's a good one, of course.

I think the best part of being in a good relationship is that you just stop caring😎.

I used to worry about keeping my pubes trimmedđŸȘ’, worked out all the timeđŸ’Ș, and tried to come across as someone someone would like to see naked👀. And all the socializing, trying to get dates, and all that.

It’s exhaustingđŸ„±! It takes up way too much time and energy.

I still trim my downstairs. But when winter sets in and I know my lady is not going to appreciate my icicle fingers creeping up under her flannel PJ’s, I take a break from gardening.

I still work out, but I’m not downing creatine and stuffing myself with so much protein that I get the runs. I certainly don’t try to act cool in front of her. She knows how lame I am! And she still likes me!

Also, I don’t think I’ve messaged any of my single friends in 12 to 8 months. Screw listening to their single-person problems!

Buddy, you’re still single because every girl you date since I’ve known you is under 25, and you’re too close to 40 to tell anymore. Hey chick, guys keep leaving you because you act crazy!

So if you’re thinking about merging your life with somebody else, and you’re lucky enough that it’s a good relationship, do it. Your life will improve immeasurably!

Also, play Merge Up slot from BGAMING. If you’re lucky, it could improve your bank balance by as much as €250,000!

Gameplay

Merge Up slot is an interesting take on a cluster pay slot. You need to land 4 identical symbols vertically or horizontally adjacent to create a win.

Instead of winning symbols in a cluster just disappearing and making space for symbols to fall in from above, the winning symbols merge to create new higher-paying symbols.

The number of new symbols formed depends on the number of symbols involved in the winning cluster.

  • 4 to 5 symbols form 2 new symbols.
  • 6 to 7 symbols form 3 new symbols.
  • 8 to 9 symbols form 4 new symbols.
  • 10 to 11 symbols form 5 new symbols.
  • 12 or more symbols form 6 new symbols.

There are 8 symbols that progressively merge into the next highest symbol when they form a winning cluster. They are orange, pink, green, dark blue, yellow, light blue, red, and pink gemstones.

When the pink gemstone forms a winning cluster and merges, it creates Scatter symbols.

This is a very high-volatility slot with an RTP of 97.25%.

The betting range is between €0.20 and €50, and there are no limits on what currency you can play with.

The maximum multiplier you can hit is 5,000x, which can open the way to the game’s prize limit of €250,000.

Features

SCATTER

The Scatter symbol is a rainbow gem with a big S on it, and it can land in any position on the reels.

You’ll need 4 or more Scatters to appear on the reels to trigger a round of Free Spins.

  • 4 Scatters trigger 15 Free Spins.
  • 5 Scatters trigger 18 Free Spins.
  • 6 or more Scatters trigger 20 Free Spins.

FREE SPINS

During Free Spins, the position where a winning cluster was formed is marked for the rest of the feature.

If a marked position is part of a winning cluster again, that position gains a 2x multiplier and will increase by 2x every time a win takes place in that position, up to 128x.

The increased multiplier value is only applied to the next winning cluster that occurs in that position.

If you manage to land 4 or more Scatter symbols at once, you’ll be awarded additional Free Spins.

  • 4 Scatters trigger 5 Free Spins.
  • 5 Scatters trigger 8 Free Spins.
  • 6 or more Scatters trigger 10 Free Spins.

BUY BONUS

You can skip straight to a round of Free Spins for 100x your current bet.

ANTE BET

For an additional 0.25x your current bet, you can double your chances of triggering Free Spins in the base game.

Performance

I took Merge Up slot for a spin on my Windows laptop and Android phone and didn’t encounter any bugs, glitches, or issues.

Maximum Win

You can win up to a respectable €250,000 if you hit the highest multiplier of 5,000x while betting the highest stake in the betting range, which is from €0.20 to €50.

Conclusion

The “Merge Up” mechanic in this slot is a nice twist on the cluster pay format. In theory (and if you’re lucky), you can level up from a relatively low-winning cluster to higher-paying clusters.

The game is bright and colorful and looks great on big and small screens.

The only feature on offer is Free Spins, which the game is generous with. The minimum you can be awarded is 15, which is slightly more than most slots.

Plus, if you’re impatient like me, you can purchase Free Spins outright or use the cheaper Ante Bet feature to double your chances of triggering Free Spins in the base game.

Overall, this is a very cool game with a great look and soundtrack, and its stats will appeal to a lot of players, I imagine. Give this one a spin and see for yourself if it's a winner.
