Inspired by the most famous wizard of all times, Book of Merlin is one of the latest 1x2 Gaming releases and it comes with wilds, free spins and expandable symbols.
It also features 10 paylines that are fixed on a standard 5x3 grid which was expected given its category.
You might think that this is another clone of the popular Book of Ra and while that can be true in a way...
...at least it’s not Egyptian-themed which seems refreshing.
With great cosmetics and an epic/fantasy theme, this title is obviously revolutionizing the genre.
But!
Does it have the quality to surpass some of the biggest names in the slot industry?
Stay with us and find out!
Theme and Symbols
Merlin’s quarters full of magic, books and potions have been chosen by the provider as the setting of the slot, and we like it.
Thanks to the transparent reels, you will be able to feel the whole beauty of wizard’s chambers and it will definitely enhance your overall impression. Bubbling potions, skeleton’s head and an enormous wizardry knowledge on the shelves of this private library fits perfectly into the whole fantasy theme.
At the bottom of the paytable, we have standard royals (10-A). The mid-value symbols are the magic wand, amulet and an elixir filled flask, while the most lucrative symbol is the wizard himself awarding 500x the bet for 5 of a kind landed.
The Book of Spells is the wild and scatterat the same time, as we are used to in other titles of this category.
Betting Options
In order to start this fantastic adventure you will need to set aside 0.10 coins and those of you who are not inclined to save can spend up to 50 coins per strike.
The maximum available win is set at 5.000x the bet which is sure to pique the imagination of many of you out there.
The theoretical return to player (RTP) of 95.80% is slightly below the average, but we saw much worse and it won’t represent any serious problem.
As always, autoplay is available so if you get tired or you like to sit back and wait for some big wins you might consider clicking the well-known “A” button, placed above the spin button.
Features
On the list of available features, first place is reserved for the Wild. The book of spells will act as a standard substitute for all of the regular symbols and it will help you to form more winning combinations.
The next one on the list is the Free Spins feature. Whenever you land 3 or more scatters you will be awarded 10 free spins.
But wait, there’s more!
At the very beginning of the feature a random symbol will be selected. If it appears during the feature it will expand and cover the whole reel. Potentially, you can get every single reel covered with the matching symbol and...
...depending on the selected symbol, you will be able to score big!
Our Take
Although the content itself is not very different from the other titles in the category, we must say that the Book of Merlin is an extremely interesting video slot.
1x2 Gaming did a great job when it comes to graphic solutions and the sweet maximum win is simply irresistible.
