How Rise of Merlin works

Rise of Merlin is a five-reel slot with 10 paylines. The Magical Orb is both the scatter and the wild.

Bonus features

Three or more Magical Orbs award eight free spins plus a scatter win. Every time the feature is retriggered you receive another eight. In the round, one symbol is chosen at random to expand. A high-paying symbol needs two on the reels to expand, a low-paying one needs at least three.

How expansion pays

You are paid the normal wins from the spin first. The chosen symbol then expands and you are paid again for the wins on the expanded symbol.

What to look for in the demo

Check whether the chosen symbol is high or low paying. It changes how many you need on screen before anything expands.
