This payout mechanic is given a different name by ever slot developer, but it’s nothing you haven’t seen before – the “avalanche” feature described on the paytable is simply referring to the fact that winning symbol combinations are removed from the reels immediately allowing new symbols to drop onto the screen from above. This process can repeat indefinitely provided at least one more winning combination lands on screen. 

This is the modifier spoken about in the introduction to this section whereby the size of the playfield can expand at the beginning of any spin. Sometimes you will only get an extra row or two from this modifier, whereas other times the entire screen will become filled by a double sized reel set. You can also pay to trigger this modifier using the “fast track” feature.

A small consolation prize is awarded whenever two bonus symbols land, but you fail to catch the third one needed to trigger a free spin bonus round. All the low-paying royal symbols will be removed from the reels and replaced by a “medium-paying” gem symbol of the same colour. The transform feature stays active even after winning combinations are removed from the screen, so it is possible to win several times from a single trigger of this mod.

The headline feature of this bonus round is the symbol removal mechanic which is active from the moment you begin your first spin. Once 14 Jack symbols have landed on the grid you will be awarded an extra free spin and the grid will expand with an additional row, and this process then continues with the Queens, Kings, and Aces until all low-paying symbols have been removed from the reels.

I spent a considerable amount of time playing this bonus round but never managed to start with more than 12 free spins, even whilst using the bonus buy feature to skip the wait between scatters. I managed to get to the final level where you are trying to remove the Aces from the reels a few times, but never quite got there.

Slotmill usually offers a few options in their bonus buy feature, including something that is acceptable under UKGC regulations. The options in Merlin’s Fortune are as follows:

• 80x Stake – The games RTP is increased slightly to 96.49% by using this option. Your next game round will complete with at least three bonus symbols and the free spins round will be awarded.

• 15x Stake – The games RTP is increased slightly to 96.32% in this mode as well. For 15x your bet you can guarantee yourself an expansion to between six and eight rows on the next spin. The game does not mention if a win is guaranteed in this mode, but in experience it seems to be.

• 5x Stake – Finally, for 5x your stake you can guarantee yourself a win on the next spin. This has the effect of bumping the RTP slightly to 96.34% as well.

Another hit for Slotmill, these guys can’t seem to go wrong at the moment! I spent much longer than intended playing this game before writing this review and will probably go back to it later this evening. Definitely recommended!
