Merlin's Magic Mirror Megaways Slot Review

Megaways slots, the kind with lots of reels and lots of rows and lots of ways to win, come in all kinds of flavours. Why not a twist on an Arthurian legend? Merlin's Magic Mirror Megaways has a six-reel format which when all seven rows are active can offer you 117,649 ways to win, and, like its non-Megaways original, it’s home to one of mythology’s most famous wizards. Our Merlin's Magic Mirror Megaways slot review will take you through the many features.

Mirror, Mirror On The Reel

Magic mirrors belong to more than Snow White (or her stepmother). They re-occur across folklore and the fantastical books, films and slots it inspires. Maybe they’re used to see what’s happening miles away or to communicate over long distances, or to look into the future, or to speak to some kind of magical being that might grant you a wish. Merlin is one of mythology’s most famous wizards and integral part of legends of King Arthur, so why shouldn’t he have a magic mirror?

What Exactly Is Your Deal?

You could expect Merlin to be found in an ancient forest amidst the stone walls of a Medieval-style castle or in a mystical cave full of sparkling crystals, and you can glimpse all those settings between the base game and free spins round of Merlin's Magic Mirror Megaways. 

Magical symbols include the crystals on which the card signs are carved, bottles of elixir and spell books. A wise old owl may remind you of Archimedes in Disney’s Sword and the Stone. Merlin is old and bearded with a pointed hat. The reels are full of bright colours and magical sparks.

How to Win at Merlin's Magic Mirror Megaways

If you’ve played Megaways slots before, you’ll know it’s not always easy to explain their layout. For instance, whilst Merlin's Magic Mirror Megaways always has six reels, the number of rows varies, particularly if the top tracker comes into play and adds symbols to reels 2-5. If each reel has the maximum seven symbols, the ways to win number 117,649, but any combos still need to be adjacent, left-to-right and matching.

Top Wins

• Each symbol has a different payout potential depending on whether you match it three, four five or six times.
• Unsurprisingly, the six card symbols are the lowest paying. The 9 is bottommost, worth x10 your original wager for six matches.
• Of the themed symbols, the most valuable is Merlin himself. His biggest total win is x100.
• Overall, the max win is x10,000.

Merlin's Magic Mirror Megaways Bonuses 

Between cascading symbols, reel modifiers and the free spins round, the Merlin's Magic Mirror Megaways bonus features could keep you busy.

Cascading Symbols

Like other slots with a similar feature, winning symbols disappear in a flash. You can’t just leave a bunch of holes on the reels, so new ones cascade down in equally magical fashion, and if you’re lucky they’ll make another successful combination.

Merlin’s Magical Modifiers

Merlin can randomly trigger these magical modifiers on any base game spin through the magic mirror:

• Mystery Magic: a random number of positions turn into mystery symbols, which then transform into an identical regular symbols.
• Wizard Wilds: a random number of wilds are added to the second, third, fourth and fifth reels.
• Super Spin: all positions on the first reel, plus the top track, transform into the same symbol and are held in place for one spin.
• Bonus: Merlin adds three or more bonus symbols to the reels.
• Max Megaways: all 1177,649 ways to win are activated.
• Lose to win: any random losing spin can award a payout.

Free Spins

The scatter symbol is a free spin triggering bonus symbol:

• 3 scatters = 8 free spins.
• 4 scatters = 10 free spins.
• 5 scatters = 12 free spins.
• 6 scatters = 14 free spins.

During free spins, Megaways lock in place and scatters convert into mystery symbols. Mystery symbols can respawn. A win multiplier, starting at x1, increases with every consecutive cascade.

Max-win 10,000x

Volatility High

Top RTP 95.98%
