Merlin’s Grimoire

Merlin’s Grimoire Review

If the original Merlin’s Grimoire, written in Ancient Draconian, contains findings of Titans and the Arcane Order, the Play’n GO’s spellbook spans splitting and expanding symbols. With its latest “book of” slot release, the developer is taking it to the next level by combining the features specific to the genre with the nifty splitting reels mechanics. On the surface, it’s a casual-looking win ways slot with 5 reels and 3 rows, but the deeper you’ll go into the enchanted forest, the more magic you’ll discover. If you think you’re ready to join Merlin, be sure to read our complete slot review first before you set off on this wizard-themed adventure.

Merlin’s Grimoire Bonus Features

Picturing a ‘book of’ slot with splitting reels will tell you all you need to know about the game’s bonus features. The free spins bonus round with expanding symbols may be the essence of Merlin’s Grimoire, but the splitting symbols mechanics is the true star feature here. Let’s inspect all slot features in detail!

Wilds and Scatters

Merlin’s magic grimoire serves as both a wild, and a scatter. As a wild, it substitutes for all other regular symbols if it’s involved in a winning combination. As a scatter, it triggers the free spins bonus round.

Splitting Symbols

Similar to Nolimit City’s signature xSplit feature, Merlin’s Grimoire comes equipped with splitting symbols, which can become active on any base spin. As such, watch out for reels 2, 3 and 4 turning into special splitting reels. When activated, these special reels will split any 1×1 low-paying symbols into 2, increasing your win ways as a result.

Free Spins

Triggered with 3, 4 or 5 grimoire scatters, the bonus round awards 10 free spins and a payout of up to 4x your stake. But before the round begins, the magic spellbook will choose one paying icon from the paytable to become your special expanding symbol. When landed as part of a winning combination, the symbol will expand to fully cover its respective reel and pay from any position. Like in the base game, the splitting feature is also active during free spins, but now, not 3 but all 5 reels can turn into splitting reels, delivering up to 7,776 ways to win. Finally, landing a further 3 scatters across the reels will trigger an extra 10 free spins.

Merlin’s Grimoire Jackpot

Merlin’s Grimoire doesn’t have a dedicated jackpot feature, but it can offer you some magical payouts reaching as high as 30,000x your stake!

RTP and Volatility

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the game’s volatility is turned up to the highest level to bring you occasional big wins. The RTP is still in the works, though, so we can’t comment on that for the time being.
