Play’n Go’s most popular slot game is definitely Book of Dead.
In general these Book of Ra clone slot games are very popular and every software provider has at least one of these slot games.
Another very popular slot game in this genre is Magic Mirror 2. Again, the same type of game, but with a twist.
So I already thought it was taking a long time for other providers to add this type of game too. Well the wait is over, Play’n Go has now released Rise of Merlin. Which does what Magic Mirror 2 does.
Rise of Merlin comes with 10 lines and uses a dragons and wizards theme. The wild symbol, the orb, is also the scatter symbols which will trigger the free spins feature when you get at least three of them.
Free spins feature
When you get 3 or more scatter/wild symbols you will be awarded with 8 free spins.
Before free spins start one random symbol (not wild) will be chosen to act as a special expanding scatter symbol. This symbol will expand to cover the entire reels and will pay either way, no matter if they are left to right or not.
Three or more orbs will add 8 more free spins, but it will also add another expanding scatter symbol.
This is what Magic Mirror 2 also did. You are able to get many different symbols if you get several retriggers. Which will have huge win potential.
Verdict
I like it that Play’n Go decided to add another variation on Book of Dead. With Rise of Merlin they really added another great title.
The game looks good, but all Play’n Go games do. But especially the possibility to get more and more bonus symbols during free spins for each retrigger is very cool. And, as I know from a game like Magic Mirror 2, these types of game can pay out huge! Especially when you get like 2, 3 or more retriggers.
I think this is a great addition to their games catalog and I would definitely suggest giving this new title a try.
You can play Rise of Merlin at Casumo, but a lot more online casinos will have this game live by now.
