Rise of Merlin is a Play'n GO fantasy slot from 2019, built on Arthurian legend. The Magical Orb is both wild and scatter, and the free spins pick a symbol at random to expand.

How easily that symbol expands depends on whether it is a high or a low payer, so the luck of the draw at the start of the round matters.

Как играть

Set your stake and spin.
Matching symbols pay as shown in the paytable; the Magical Orb substitutes as a wild.
Three or more Magical Orbs start the free spins.

What to expect. Because a high-paying pick expands more easily than a low-paying one, the symbol drawn at the start of the free spins has a large effect on the round. The Orb doubling as wild and scatter also means it can help base game wins and lead into the feature at the same time.

Особенности

Free spins: Three or more Magical Orbs give 8 free spins plus a prize based on how many Orbs landed. Each retrigger adds 8 more spins.
Expanding symbol: One symbol is picked at random to expand during the round. If it is a high-paying symbol, two more need to land on the reel for it to expand; a low-paying symbol needs at least three more. Wins from the expanded symbol are paid on top of the spin's other wins.
