Merlin’s Millions slot review (Nextgen)

Merlin doesn’t even have the lead in the classic Arthurian tale

But the role of the wizard and chief adviser of King Arthur is fascinating enough to deploy him in TV series, video and board games, and thus for video slots.

NextGen Gaming has the honour to enchant online casino players with the Merlin’s Millions video slot’s magic.

Merlin’s Millions’ design is colourful, with impressive graphics. Mesmerising music and sound effects take you into Merlin’s world of potions, magic books and spells. It’s great to watch how Merlin performs his magic on the left side of the screen while the reels spin. Actually, his magic doesn’t always do the trick, as you will see.

What’s more important, of course, is whether you are impressed by the magic of Merlin’s Millions or not. The bonus game and the extras of this video slot look fantastic. But how easy is it to conjure up prizes with Merlin’s Millions?

How does the Merlin’s Millions slot work?

Merlin’s Millions has 5 reels, 4 rows and an impressive number of 50 paylines, so in the primary game, you can win prizes frequently. To play the 50 paylines, you need to bet a minimum of $€ 0.50 and up to $€ 125 per spin.

This video slot has 3 medium-value symbols: Merlin’s magic wand, a purple potion and the red magic book. The classic card symbols 9, 10, J, Q, K, A are the low-value symbols of Merlin’s Millions.

Merlin’s Millions is set in the forest, and one would expect, is accompanied by an owl. We’ll come to the meaning of that symbol and how much it yields you, later on. The same goes for other symbols such as the blue crystal ball and the Merlin Wild symbol.

Merlin’s Millions Bonus Features

The Merlin’s Millions Bonus Features are as adventurous as the tale itself. Here are the features that can lead to magical victories plus the corresponding rules:

Super Bet Feature: The Super Bet Feature immediately catches your eye on the right side of the screen. By activating the Super Bet, you gain multipliers of up to 10 x. An extra advantage is that the payout rate also increases according to your choice of a higher multiplier. Depending on the Super Bet, the theoretical RTP of Merlin’s Millions is between 95.07% and 95.63%.

The Super Bet is 1 of the most rewarding features in the Merlin’s Millions video slot, provided you play with a maximum number of paylines. Be careful with the multiplier, though, as it can quickly erode your credits.

Wild Symbol Feature: The portrait of Merlin functions as the Wild symbol, which only appears on reels 2, 3 and 4. Except for the scatter and bonus symbols, the Merlin Wild replaces all other symbols.

Pick Me Feature: If you spin three owls, the game transforms into reels with 20 owls. All you have to do is pick an owl to determine what kind of profit lurks behind it. This bonus round ends as soon as the word collect “appears” upon your picking an owl. In theory, you can turn over and grab a prize behind all 20 owls. The highest number of owls we managed to flip, however, was 8.

Gamble Feature: with the Gamble Feature, you can take another gamble on the payout brought forth by your last spin. If you choose the right card colour, then you multiply these profits by 2. Selecting the correct symbol of the card even quadruples your earnings. If you make a wrong choice, then you lose the prize of your last spin.

Merlin’s Millions Free spins bonus game

The last symbol of the video slot we cover here is the magical blue crystal ball. If you spin three magical blue crystal balls, then you earn 5 free spins. This doesn’t sound like much, but in this magic forest, nothing is what it seems.

During the Free Spins, Merlin bewitches the reels with his magic wand and turns them into Wilds, leading to Re-spins and big wins.

Our verdict on the Merlin Millions video slot

Merlin’s Millions an adventurous Nextgen Gaming video slot, with nice graphics and amusing animations.

Take Merlin, for instance, who is prominently visible on the screen. Either he is messing around with magic tricks, or he is turning complete reels into Wilds!

The odds of winning in this game are vast as they are varied, making the gaming experience all the more fun.

Especially the Super Bet feature has impressed us, thanks to the multipliers which you can control yourself. By betting to the max during the Super Bet feature, the multipliers can amount to astronomical profits. Your credits can magically disappear just as swiftly, though. That’s what makes this game exciting for big spenders.

Merlin’s Millions is a gorgeous and above all entertaining video slot, to such an extent that even in case of loss you can still look back on a fun gaming experience.

3 out of 5 stars.
