Merlin’s Magic Mirror Megaways Slot

Graphics, Audio and Symbols Merlin’s Magic Mirror Megaways Slot

The slot features stunning graphics with a catchy soundtrack. Over the years the popularity of Merlin the Magician has shone throughout numerous media outlets.

He made his transition from the silver screen to the small screen and now to slot games online. The theme itself teleports you to Merlin’s domain inside a medieval castle.

Incidentally, it also serves as the backdrop for the reels but quickly changes to Merlin’s lab during a bonus. The slot pays from left to right when matching symbols pitch.

The low-value symbols are the cards from 9 to Ace offering payouts up to 1x for 6. The high-value symbols are Merlin, an owl, a book, and bottles of potion.

The premium symbol is Merlin, 6 of them on the reels pay 5x. The Wild symbol replaces adjacent symbols when it forms a winning combination.

However, it also has a dual purpose in this slot. They pitch on the top section of the reels on reels 2 to 5, they help with more winning combinations.

Cascades

The Cascading engine has been with us for some time and is a popular one at that. When a winning combination occurs, it removes the winning symbols from the grid.

New symbols drop in from the top giving you a chance to form new wins again.

Merlins Magic Modifiers

You can trigger any of the 5 Merlins Magic Modifiers on any random spin in the main game. A magic mirror pops onto the grid offering the following Modifier:

• Mystery Magic: Some spaces transform into the same mystery symbol, it can be any symbol except wilds or scatters.
• Wizard Wilds: A random number of wild symbols pitch on reels 2 to 5 for bigger wins.
• Super Spin: All positions on reel 1 and the top tracker transform into the same symbol.
• Bonus: You’ll initiate the bonus feature when 3 or more scatter symbols appear.
• Max Megaways: All 117,649 ways to win become active.

There’s a special treat too that comes in the form of the “Merlins Lose to Win”. You can trigger it on any losing base game spin, potentially turning your luck around.

Free Spins

When 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols appear they trigger 8, 10, 12, or 14 free spins. There’s a bit of magic that goes on here too and it entails the scatters.

They transform into Sticky Mystery Symbols. Moreover, Merlin showers the grid with more mystery symbols when it appears. You’ll be playing with multipliers as well.

With every cascade, the size of the multiplier’s value grows by 1+. The only caveat we have with an otherwise decent bonus round is that retriggers aren’t available.

Buy Option

When you pay 75x the stake you’ll play with an RTP of 96.29%. Now, if you pay 150x the stake you’ll start with 5,000 Megaways and the RTP is 96.42%.

What We Like and Don’t Like

The cascades and the special features are the glue that holds this slot together. Not to mention the multipliers and the sticky mystery symbols going on in the free spins.

A real pity iSoftBet lowered the max bet which might be a “turn off” for high rollers.

Tips & Strategy

What works well for us is we test the slot with dummy money. That gives us a handle on how long it takes to get into a bonus.

We also experience the game’s volatility which helps us to put a bankroll together.

Can I play Merlin’s Magic Mirror Megaways with a casino bonus? No, we don’t recommend it, though it’s your choice.

The volatility and the wagering requirement of the bonus aren’t friends here.

How to Win Money Merlin’s Magic Mirror Megaways

We played the slot for stakes of $1 mixing it up a bit. The payouts we got in the base were as much as 7.5x our stake and that after 50 spins.

The payout potential in the base game wasn’t that great. In all fairness to the online slot, it takes way more than 50 spins to get it going. Next up, we triggered the buy option at $0.30 to which we won an epic $500.

• Trigger the first buy option at 75x the stake. It’s not as volatile and you might strike it lucky as we have.

Verdict: Merlin’s Magic Mirror Megaways

Merlin’s Magic Mirror Megaways is a cracking slot with huge winning potential. The Cascading engine infuses the slot with plenty of spark. Though the cascades aren’t that hot in the base game they go full circle in the free spins.

Furthermore, those sticky mystery symbols also help out with the big wins as they stick to the reels. The only thing that’s somewhat disappointing is that there are no free spin triggers.

The buy option for once delivered a spectacular win of $500 at a betting range of 30 cents. Most probably a huge glitch in the matric but we’ll take it.

To conclude matters here, iSoftBet delivers a scintillating slot with crazy winning potential. Pragmatic Play’s Rujak Bonaza is another captivating slot with a weird theme.

If you’re up for some Indonesian cuisine, this slot is for you. The RTP is high at 96.60%, and you’ll be shooting for a massive 100x multiplier in the free spins.
