How it plays

Rise of Merlin is an online slot from Play'n GO themed on Merlin, the wizard of Arthurian lore. The Magical Orb serves as both the scatter and the wild, and the free spins use an expanding symbol. This page covers only the rules and figures that are officially published and offers no way to win.

The Magical Orb is both the scatter and the wild. Enough Magical Orbs start the free spins and also pay for the number of orbs on the reel.

Every time the free spins are re-triggered, further free spins are awarded.

In the free spins, one symbol is chosen at random to expand, and a high-paying symbol needs fewer extra symbols on the reel to expand than a low-paying one.

Every round is random and earlier results have no effect on the next one. This site gives no betting advice.

Frequently asked questions

What is the RTP of Rise of Merlin?
Play'n GO's official game page does not print an RTP for Rise of Merlin. This site therefore shows none and does not quote estimates from other sources.
What is the maximum win of Rise of Merlin?
No maximum win as a multiple of the bet is published. The rules screen inside the official demo speaks of coins, not of a multiple of the bet, so this site lists no figure.
What does the Magical Orb do in Rise of Merlin?
According to the official description, the Magical Orb is both the scatter and the wild: enough orbs start the free spins, and the orb also substitutes within the game.
Can Rise of Merlin be played for free?
Yes. This page can load Play'n GO's official demo after the reader presses the button and confirms being of legal age. It is served from the official demo host and is left unchanged by this site.
Is there a way to improve the chance of winning?
No. Every round is random, and this site offers no betting approach and no way to win.
