Power of Merlin Megaways Slot Review
One of the great magical acts of all time was said to be the disappearance of the Statue of Liberty by David Copperfield. But it’s hard to keep a secret these days so here’s how he did it.
In the trick, Copperfield held up a sheet in front of the statue and when he dropped it, the statue was gone. Well, Lady Liberty was hiding, to be precise. You see, while everyone in the audience was distracted by the music and theatrics, the stage had shifted. 🗽
The magician also set up a separate platform with matching lights so that when the statue was hidden behind one of the towers that held the sheet up, everything still looked kosher. Neat, huh? 🪄🔮
Here’s hoping that Power of Merlin Megaways slot from Pragmatic Play won’t take anything away from you, but rather reward you. Possibly with 400,000 very nice things.
Gameplay
There’s no magic involved in creating games with up to 117,649 paylines such as this one. All you need are reels 1 and 6 to have up to 7 symbols, while the rest include up to 6 symbols. Ta-da! But there’s also a horizontal reel, as you might have noticed – more on that in a bit, though.
Power of Merlin Megaways slot is set in a forest somewhere but when it manifests on your phone, it’s far less impressive than when you see it on a desktop device. It’s playable in either orientation but loses the impact you get on a nice big monitor.
Harnessing the magical energy of this game could result in a €400,000 windfall that’ll buy a lot of wands and crystals if that’s your thing. Or, if you’re like me, you’ll probably blow it all on cheap women and fast bikes (or cars if you prefer).
But this isn’t the only impressive number I will throw at you; there’s also the 40,000x max multiplier and the 96.08% RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.
RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate..
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the volatility rate is high. Lastly, the only currencies you won’t be able to play with are the Japanese yen and Tether (USDT).
The high-paying symbols are Merlin, an owl, a crystal-tipped staff, and a potion bottle. The Wild replaces every symbol that’s not a Scatter or a Lightning Bolt. You’ll see Wilds on reels 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
Power of Merlin Megaways slot uses a Tumble feature. After each spin, winning combos are paid out and the symbols that were involved are removed. The remaining symbols fall to the bottom of the grid and new symbols drop in to take the empty spots.
Features
You’ll see all manner of symbols on the horizontal reel, and they form wins just like you normally would on the reels beneath them.
LIGHTNING BOLT:
The Lightning Bolt symbol doesn’t pay on its own and you’ll only see it on that horizontal reel. When this symbol hits, a random symbol type from reels 2 to 5 is chosen and a Wild will replace it.
Now, if a Lightning Bolt moves to a new position due to a Tumble, then a new random symbol type will be chosen and undergo the same transformation as above.
FREE SPINS:
Spellbook Scatters can hit at any size that’s permissible on the reels and you’ll need 4 of these symbols to initiate the Free Spins feature.
- 4 Scatters = 10 spins
- 5 Scatters = 14 spins
- 6 Scatters = 18 spins
- 7 Scatters = 22 spins
- 8 Scatters = 26 spins
- 9 Scatters = 30 spins
If you decide to go for it you’ll be taken to a screen with a meter to the left with 4 locked positions. You’ll also see a wheel with a green section and a red portion. Your goal is to have the pointer land on green for the win.
If you get it right, the bottom-most locked portion of the meter will unlock and you’ll be awarded 4 more spins. You can keep going up to 30 spins but be warned; one loss and you’ll lose all of your spins so remember to hit COLLECT before that happens.
Check out these percentages before you make up your mind:
- Gambling from 10 to 14 spins: your chance of a win is 63.10%
- Gambling from 14 to 18 spins: your chance of a win is 69.37%
- Gambling from 18 to 22 spins: your chance of a win is 73.95%
- Gambling from 22 to 26 spins: your chance of a win is 76.58%
- Gambling from 26 to 30 spins: your chance of a win is 78.92%
And lastly, you can also add 4 more spins to your tally by landing 3 additional Scatters and Lighting Bolts are available during this feature.
BUY BONUS:
Magically transport your way into the Free spins round for 150x.
Performance
I played Power of Merlin Megaways slot on Safari and Chrome, as well as on my desktop device, tablet, and iPhone with no issues.
Maximum Win
So on the face of it, it looks like you’ll only need €10 to put you in contention for the massive €400,000 top prize. But the reality is that your coin value can be boosted up to €0.50, bringing your total bet to €100, so watch out for that.
You can bet from just €0.20 but if that 40,000x multiplier comes in, you are gonna kick yourself.
Conclusion
Power of Merlin Megaways slot is a game aimed directly at Free Spin aficionados. You can land up to 30 spins, gamble for spins, and even buy your way into spins (and then gamble for more if you choose). It’s a Free Spin smorgasbord!
But it’s not just those players the game seeks to seduce; it’s also the high-rollers who will be enticed by 400 grand worth of greenbacks.
I quite enjoyed dialing back my stake and using the Buy Bonus, and then gambling for more spins. I almost always won the first round, so I was sure to get 14 spins for a small outlay, which could be profitable. But not always, of course.
This is a solid game that specializes in one thing (ye olde spins) and does it really well. So, if that’s your poison then you should go ahead and try it.
