Merlin’s Grimoire Review

EXTRA FEATURES

This is the fourth overtly Merlin slot developed from Play’n GO. You are probably already familiar with the other three. Rise of Merlin, Merlin and the Ice Queen Morgana, and Lord Merlin and the Lady of the Lake are all inspired by this powerful wizard. All of these online slots share a few characteristics here, and there as well, however, Merlin’s Grimoire also comes with a splitting symbol feature which really makes it stand out from other Play’n GO online slots.

• Splitting Symbols – on any base game spin, three middle reels can randomly activate. Once that happens, any symbol that lands on an active reel is split in two, increasing ways to win.
• Free Spins – In Merlin’s Grimoire, the Grimoire replaces any normal pay symbol to help link winning ways, as a wild. As a scatter, if you manage to land 3, 4, or 5 will get you 10 Free Spins and a payout of up to 4x the stake. Before the round starts, one symbol is randomly selected as a special expanding symbol. If these symbols create a win, they will expand to cover all positions on their reel and pay from any position. They do not have to be adjacent. Most importantly, all reels in free spins can create splitting symbols when they are activated, not just the middle three. It would be best to land expanding symbols on all five reels when they are active since it will get you 7,776 ways to win.

WHY SHOULD YOU PLAY THE MERLIN’S GRIMOIRE SLOT?

What is more, you will not have to invest too much in order to take a sneak peek into Merlin’s book of spells, with this online slot available for a simple bet of €0.10 to a maximum of €100.

OUR EXPERIENCE PLAYING THE MERLIN’S GRIMOIRE SLOT

We absolutely loved playing Merlin’s Grimoire slot! The splitting symbols are a pretty sweet addition to the already amazing game. Play’n GO is not a stranger to these symbols, since there are a few other online slots featuring them, namely their Gems range of slots. However, in Merlin’s Grimoire, this feature is a bit more developed compared to the previous titles. Overall, Merlin’s Grimoire is pretty spectacular without the over-the-top features and design to distract you from the game itself, while possessing all it needs to produce some spectacular wins. In addition, it is not overly repetitive, due to the randomness of splitting symbols combined with audio-visual effects which are easy on both senses. Naturally, the highest payout is available in the Free Spins feature, and Casino Chick managed to trigger the bonus round in just a couple of spins. Although it might seem that Merlin’s Grimoire is somewhat basic compared to the ‘book of’ series, you will soon realise that the bonus game is more complex than found in the previous series.
