Arcadem, a software provider quite new in the market, launched an online slot Merlin and the Philosopher’s Stone, inspired with the Camelot era. The game was rolled out in February 2021 and offers a new take on the famous legend about wizard Merlin and his many adventures. This time around, Merlin is represented not as the aged white-bearded wizard, but as a beautiful blonde sorceress. When it comes to design, players can expect striking visuals, neat animations and a mystical audio. The slot pays both ways and is provides chances to earn prizes via Wild Substitutions and Expanding Wilds. This medium volatility slot has a decent RTP of 95.95%.
A standard 5-reel, 3-row game area supports only 10 fixed winlines. Three symbols of a kind are to appear in sequence on payline positions from left to right and right to left so payouts are issued. Configure the value of your bet to a minimum of $0.10 and up to $100.00 per spin. Coin denomination spans from a mere $0.01 to $10.00. Put the reels in motion by clicking Spin or by activating Autoplay that allows for the game to continue automatically.
The upper part of the Paytable is occupied with Emeralds, Gold Bars and Merlin with payouts of 6x, 12x and 25x your wager respectively when 5 hit a winline. Low-value icons are four potion vials, Red, Blue, Purple and Yellow awarding between 2.50x and 5x the stake if 5 form a win. Wild strives to increase opportunities for wins by replacing all other symbols.
Besides working as a substitution for other icons, Wild additionally expands on the entire reel which it hits. This creates more chances for winning combinations and boosts the win potential. Furthermore, this expanded Wild stays in its place while a Respin occurs. Additional Wild landing awards one more Respin. We can’t help but note that the gameplay would be much more interesting and rewarding if there had been a Free Spins Round.
Helping Merlin get hands on the magical stone that grants immortality doesn’t prove as exciting as it sounds, as the gameplay would have been better off with a greater number of features. What you will definitely enjoy in Merlin and the Philosopher’s Stone is a straightforward playing experience with prizes going as high as 125,000 coins, so make sure you try it out. Find this video slot and take a shot at it on any device mobile, tablet, laptop or desktop.
