Features

The features in Merlin’s Grimoire consist of scatter and wild symbols, a Splitting Symbols feature and a free spins round. In the free spins round, the Expanding Symbols feature also comes into play.

Wild Symbols

The grimoire itself, or book, serves as a wild symbol and scatter at the same time. As a wild symbol, the grimoire can replace any regular symbol to complete winning combinations. As a scatter, the grimoire allows you to reach the free spins round.

Splitting Symbols

During each spin of the base game the Splitting Symbols feature can become active. In that case any number of symbols on reels 2, 3 and/or 4 will be split. This gives you more symbols on a reel and therefore more ways to win.

Free Spins

To reach the free spins round you need to land 3, 4 or 5 scatters on the playing field. For this you will get 0.8x, 1.6x or 4x your bet and 10 free spins respectively. Before the free spins round begins, a random symbol is first chosen to be the special Expanding Symbol. This is again as we know it from the famous Book Of slots like Book of Dead and Book of Ra.

If it can cause a win, the symbol will expand across the entire reel. In addition, the Splitting Symbols feature is now not only active on reels 2, 3 and 4, but on all reels. This therefore allows you to create 7,776 ways to win during the free spins round.

Maximize your ways to win with splitting symbols!
