About this Slot
Rise of Merlin is a fantasy-themed slot from Play'n Go with an RTP of 96.58%, high volatility and a maximum win of 5,000x. The game runs across five reels with 10 paylines.
Scatter Wilds substitute for other symbols to complete wins and trigger the bonus round when three or more land. Three or more Scatter Wilds award eight free spins, with each retrigger adding a further eight spins.
During free spins, one symbol expands to fill an entire reel. Each retrigger adds an additional expanding symbol, allowing up to nine expanding symbols across the feature.
A Gamble Feature is available after any winning spin. A correct red or black guess doubles the win amount, while a correct suit guess quadruples it. An incorrect guess forfeits the entire win. The gamble can be repeated up to five times per winning spin, though it is capped at 250x the initial bet.
