Merlin's Money Burst Free Slot Machine

Featuring the infamous character Merlin from earlier NextGen Gaming slots, and the iconic Money Burst game engine from WMS, NextGen’s sister company, this slot is sure to make some magic happen! Set against the dark backdrop of an enchanted forest, this slot is packed with 5 reels, two of which are two symbols high, while the other three are four symbols high. This gives the player a total of 60 payline, enhancing their chance of winning.

Bet Strategy and Symbols

With a bet range of 30p to £75 per spin for this game, the slot is appealing to all players, no matter the budget. The reels during gameplay depict A, K, Q, J and 10 royal symbols with eyes on, as well as spell books, money bags and potion bottles, among others, adding to the magical allure of the slot. The latter collection is more rewarding, offering 8.33 times the initial stake when five are matched. Merlin also makes an appearance throughout the game as the face of the wild. As previously stated, Merlin is the face of the wild symbol and in game, matching 5 Merlins’ across a payline gives a potential 83.3 times the initial stake.

Bonus Features in Merlin's Money Burst 

Looking at the bonus features of this slot, there are three main: Merlin’s Hold Re-Spins, Merlin’s Free Games and Merlin’s Wild Spins, as well as a SuperBet feature. Merlin’s Re-Spins is triggered by reels 1 and 2 having matching symbols. 5 re-spins are awarded to the player, and the first two reels are held in place. Merlin can help the player by randomly changing symbols to wilds on the other 3 reels. Players should be on the look out for 3 scatters on the reels as this will add a further 5 re-spins to their total!

Merlin’s Free Games feature allows the player to receive 10 free spins when 3 scatters appear on reels 3, 4 and 5 concurrently. As well as the free spins, Merlin is around to lend his magic wand and transform symbols on reels 3, 4 and 5 into wilds. This feature is able to be retriggered during play to allow for an additional 10 free spins.

Finally the last bonus feature is the Merlin’s Wild Spins, considered the best of all. If reels 1 and 2 have matching symbols, like in Merlin’s Re-Spins, and have 3 scatters across reels 3, 4 and 5, like in Merlin’s Free Games, the player will receive 10 free spins. Everything on reels 1 and 2 will become wilds, with more wilds will appear on reels 3, 4 and 5.

Other Bonus

This can be retriggered to give an additional 10 free spins. Merlin’s Money Burst also benefits from a SuperBet feature, a nod to their creators, NextGen Gaming. This is where you can adjust an additional wager to give enhancements. This can be played at five different levels. Level 1 is played from 50p to £100 per spin, with the wild adding a 2x multiplier to the winnings. Level 2 is from £1 to £200, per spin and is rewarded, if a wild is a part, with a 4x multiplier. Level 3 is £2 to £400, with a 6x multiplier for a Merlin wild, with Level 4 at £2.50 to £500, with Merlin adding an 8x multiplier. Finally level 5 is £3 to £600, with a wild adding a multiplier of 10!
