Merlin's Revenge Megaways is a risky follow-up magic slot from iSoftBet with a maximum of 6x7 reels and 117,649 ways to win. In the base game, you receive mysterious symbols, maximum megaways, and a touch of Merlin's magic. In the bonus round, you'll collect symbols to earn more spins and increase the minimum megaways limit. The maximum payout is 28,988 times your initial wager.
Bets ranging from 0.20 to 20 per spin are available on Merlin's Revenge Megaways. Mathematically, the RTP has increased somewhat from the previous instalment, currently exactly 96%, while the bonus buy return is 96.50%. The gameplay takes place on a 6-reel game grid that is driven by the Megaways engine, which can generate up to 117,649 ways to win. As expected, the volatility remains significant.
Wins occur when identical symbols land on neighbouring reels from the left, and when they do, they activate a cascading mechanism. This feature removes winning symbols from the reels and fills empty spaces by dropping symbols from above. The paytable begins with low-paying 9-A tiles valued up to 0.5 to 1 times the stake, followed by four high-paying symbols, including Merlin, which pay 1.5 to 10 times the wager for six of a kind. Wilds appear on reels 2, 3, 4, or 5 and substitute for all symbols except bonus or mystery symbols.
The wild sign can substitute for all normal symbols on the paytable, with the exception of the sword scatter symbol and the orb mystery symbol. Although it will only appear on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5, it has the potential to help players form more winning combos with greater payouts.
The sword scatter symbols initiate the free spins bonus round, and landing more scatters activates a bigger number of free games.
When this bonus is activated, players are given the choice to wager the number of free spins they receive. Spin the wheel if you wish to gamble. If it lands in a winning green section, you'll gain one more free spin. But, if the wheel falls in a red region, your free spins will be lost and you will be redirected to the main playing screen.
