Merlin's Riches Slots

Merlin's Riches is a standard fantasy slot in the realm of Camelot. It's only natural that the game features castles, stunning landscapes, dragons, magic, and all that. The different symbols are nicely drawn, but the game has a stale and overdone look. It's precisely what we expect when we look at a slot named after the wizard Merlin, and there aren't many surprises. The slot has one cool feature, and we'll get into that and the other features below.

Betting is Limited

The game has 25 paylines, and bets are limited to between $0.25 and $6.25. Those values aren't terrible, but they aren't exciting, either. Some gamblers will be fine with these limitations, and others will immediately look for a different game.

Synced Reels Help You Win More Regularly

The game has a special feature known as Reel Sync. This feature causes two random reels to light up and have the same symbols. That might not sound that important, but having two copies of the same symbols on so many different paylines will make it much easier to attain winning combinations with help from the other reels. We love this feature, and it's the only feature of note in the slot.

The Dragons Grant You Free Spins

The dragons are scatters and the key to the free spin bonus. You get ten free spins to start with, but you can add ten more each time you get three scatters. The Reel Sync feature is deactivated during the bonus spins, but you get extra wilds on three reels each spin; with so many additional wilds, you'll win even more regularly than you do outside of the bonus round.

The Crystal Ball Bonus Offers Instant Payouts

With enough crystal ball symbols, you go to another bonus round that's an exciting upgrade compared to the dragon spins. In this bonus, you get a smaller set of reels showing crystal ball symbols, blanks, or +1 symbols. The +1 symbols add a spin while you collect crystal balls to increase your final payout value. Get enough of the crystals and win the 500x prize payout maximum.

Merlin's Riches is a good slot game, but it isn't all that unique. It looks nice; we like the Reel Sync feature, and the other game features compete with most standard slots. If you like the slot's theme, you should try it; otherwise, play something more unique.
