Lord Merlin and the Lady of the Lake

Lord Merlin and the Lady of the Lake Slot Review

Fans of the ‘book of’ slots will appreciate Play’n GO’s fresh approach to the genre. The scene is braided with Arthurian myths and legends featuring both Lord Merlin and the Lady of the Lake as the top paying symbols. Five of them appearing on the 5×3 reels will pay 10,000x your stake, the game’s max win. The scatters also pay and quite well too, especially the wild scatter. The randomly selected symbol that can expand to fill the reels has been spared, but it behaves a touch differently in this mythology-themed edition.

Lord Merlin and the Lady of the Lake Bonus Features

As a ‘book of’ slot, Lord Merlin and the Lady of the Lake features free spins with randomly chosen expanding symbols, but it also has a couple of new additions, which is great to see. During the bonus round, you’ll be switching between two free spins sessions which make the main features here a little bit more involved compared to the earlier ‘book of’ releases.

Wilds

Lady of the Lake, a mythological character also known as Nimueh who provides king Arthur with the sword Excalibur, is the game’s wild symbol. She substitutes for all paying symbols except scatters and pays a generous 10,000x your stake reward for 5 identical symbols.

Scatters

The legendary Excalibur sword is the scatter symbol. 3 or more of these scatters trigger the free spins, and pay 1x, 10x and 100x for 1, 2, and 3 scatters respectively. During the free spins game, the regular scatter turns into a wild scatter which acts as both a scatter and a wild. It triggers Excalibur spins, substitutes for all other symbols and pays 10,000x your stake for 5 symbols of a kind.

Free Spins

The free spins bonus round in Lord Merlin and the Lady of the Lake works in a familiar ‘book of’ fashion. When 3 or more scatters hit the reels, they award 8 free spins with an expanding symbol. After landing enough symbols to form a win, the special symbol will expand to cover an entire reel. The tiny alteration here is that a randomly chosen expanding symbol changes on every spin unlike most of the ‘book of’ slots.

Excalibur Spins

These can be triggered during the game’s free spins round with two or more wild scatters. The regular free spins round is then paused while you play 2 Excalibur spins, one spin for each scatter. Landing 2 or more wild scatters will retrigger the feature with another 2 spins, without limits. The triggering expanding symbol from free spins now stays locked throughout this round.

Lord Merlin and the Lady of the Lake Jackpot

Lord Merlin and the Lady of the Lake is not a jackpot slot, but a 10,000x your stake max win certainly makes it feel like one. To achieve it, you need to look out for 3 symbols, the lady wild, Merlin and the wild scatter. They all pay the game’s max win for 5 symbols of a kind.

RTP and Volatility

This mythology infused game has a standard RTP of 96.20%. But watch out for the volatility, it’s set to high, meaning that big wins are hard to hit, but they will be worth your while when you do.
