Merlin’s Fortune by Slotmill is a fantasy-themed slot inspired by the legendary wizard Merlin, combining magic-infused visuals with dynamic gameplay features such as cascading wins, expanding reels, and a bonus game with fixed jackpots. The game is set in a mystical world of spellcasting and magical symbols, offering a fast-paced experience with multiple ways to increase win potential.
The slot begins on a 5-reel, 4-row layout but can expand up to 6 rows during gameplay, unlocking up to 262,144 ways to win. Symbols include potions, spellbooks, magic rings, and Merlin himself as the top-value character. The game uses cascading reels, where winning symbols disappear and are replaced by new ones, allowing consecutive wins within a single spin.
A key feature is the Mystery Box, which may appear during any spin. Once all cascades finish, Mystery Boxes transform into matching symbols, potentially completing high-value combinations.
Landing three or more Scatter symbols triggers the Fortune Free Spins Bonus, where the reels can expand more quickly, and cascading wins occur more frequently. The bonus also includes a Fortune Wins Hold and Win feature, activated by collecting special symbols. This round uses sticky symbols and respins, offering the chance to unlock Mini, Major, and Grand jackpots.
Merlin’s Fortune features medium to high volatility and a return to player (RTP) of 96.11%, making it a strong choice for players seeking cascading mechanics, reel expansion, and jackpot features.
