Merlin's Money Burst Slot Review

How to play

It’s difficult to miss the Play button in the Merlins Money Burst slot because it looks like a big white Play sign on the right side of the screen. By clicking on it, players will activate five reels (the first two have two rows while the other three have four rows each). The 60-payline slot allows players to adjust the size of their bet. Each spin has a fixed price of 30 coins but players can adjust the coin value to anything between €0.01 and €0.25. Therefore, the lowest amount of money that you can use per spin is worth €0.30. You can play with up to €7.50 per spin. As expected, you can choose other amounts too.

On the right side of the Play button, there’s an auto-play feature. Use it if you want to activate up to 100 auto-play spins. On the left side of the Play button, you will find three white lines that will lead you to the setting and help you learn more about the payouts and features of this game. Also, in this game, standard wins are multiplied by the chosen coin value, while scatter wins are multiplied by the total stake.

Symbols and payouts

The Merlins Money Burst slot has a list that features nine standard symbols. Just like in many other slots, the symbols with the lowest value are represented by playing card icons. So, whenever a player lands three, four, or five 10s, Jacks, or Queens on a payline, they will win 5, 10, or 30 coins respectively. Additionally, the same combos of Kings or Aces will provide 5, 15, or 60 coins.

With three, four, or five hourglasses or money bags on a line, you should expect 5, 20, and 100 coins or 10, 30, or 100 coins respectively. With the help of the potion that contains an eye, you can win up to 300 coins. The most valuable standard symbol is the book of spells that provides 30, 100, or 500 coins.

We should also highlight the fact that the wilds pay up to 1,500 coins while the scatter icon pays 5 times your total bet.

Best Merlins Money Burst bonus feature

Three Merlins Money Burst bonus features can be won at any time. First of all, any matching symbols on the first two reels will activate five held re-spins. These reels are kept in place while the rest of the reels will re-spin. More wilds usually occur during these re-spins.

You can also win 10 Merlins Money Burst free spins. To enter this mode, players must land three scatter icons (a pink gem in a claw) anywhere on reel three, four, and five. Once again, more wild icons should appear during this special mode. On top of that, entire stacks can be turned wild when Merlin shows up on the screen.

Merlin himself is a wild icon that replaces missing standard symbols to help players finish winning combinations. When players land any identical symbols on the first two reels plus three scatter icons on the last three reels, they will activate 10 wild spins. During this mode, the first two reels are covered in wild icons and are held until the end of this round.

Don’t forget that you can use the Superbet option to boost your wild win multiplier. This means that you have to increase the level of additional credit wagered in this game.

RTP & Volatility

As for the Merlins Money Burst RTP, you will not be disappointed. Especially if you are using the Superbet feature. Namely, if this feature is inactive, the RTP of this game is 95.5%. When it’s activated it can reach up to 96.75% depending on the Superbet level. This is a highly volatile slot that promises big wins although they don’t occur very often.
