Play'n GO's Merlin series continues to be a hit among gamers - we predict this addition will be no different.
After the coronation of her brother, King Arthur, Morgana flees Camelot. Determined to find his former apprentice, Merlin sets out to find her, but finds only a frozen wasteland. The Ice Queen has claimed the land as her own. The inhabitants fear her power. But who is this wicked witch? Well, she is none other than Merlin's apprentice, Morgana.
The reels of this game feature an expansive Wild multiplier, a feature that players love. Before the free spins begin, a symbol is randomly selected and will become a special expansion symbol throughout the session. The expansion is only triggered if enough symbols for a win are present. They do not need to be adjacent to each other to create a winning line.
Merlin's staff serves as a Scatter Wild when he casts his spells on the reels. Morgana also plays a role on the reels as a Special Wild which can cause one, two or more symbols to appear stacked on a reel. When stacked, this symbol will activate the multiplier.
Players will be able to follow the story through the clever use of changing backgrounds and reel visuals. Merlin starts outside the Ice Queen's palace and travels inside to confront Morgana. The paylines are highlighted by Merlin's magic staff and Morgana casts a chilling spell that freezes the background with snow and icicles.
Charlotte Miliziano, Head of Games, said: "Players love the Merlin series, we've already explored his relationship with the Lady of the Lake and we wanted to dive into one of his more turbulent relationships. A little darker than its predecessor, Merlin and the Ice Queen Morgana embody the struggle between good and evil. There's another reason why we love working on this kind of series. As with Merlin, King Arthur and the gods of Norse mythology, new players already have some knowledge of these characters. They can fully immerse themselves in the story, whether or not they have played our existing games."
