Merlin and the Ice Queen Morgana Slot Information
Merlin and the Ice Queen Morgana is a 5x3 video slot from Play'n GO with up to 10 paylines, a fantasy setting, and a familiar Merlin formula built around expanding symbols. I see it as a sequel-style release with one clear mechanical upgrade, Morgana as an extra wild that can trigger a spin multiplier. The numbers tell you this is a medium-high to high-volatility game, with 96.20% RTP and a 20,000x max win.
From a math perspective, the base setup is simple but the payout model is not. Wins start left to right, 3 or more matching symbols usually pay, while some premium symbols pay from 2. That matters because the game shifts much of its EV into the Free Spins round, where the expanding-symbol rule breaks normal adjacency requirements. Base play can drag a bit, and not everyone will enjoy that front-loaded bonus dependence.
Merlin and the Ice Queen Morgana Slot Features
Features drive the whole return profile here. The staff symbol is both wild and scatter, and it substitutes for all regular symbols except the expanding symbol. Three or more scatters trigger 10 Free Spins, and 3 scatters during the feature add more spins. Before the bonus starts, one paying symbol is randomly chosen as the special expanding symbol for that session.
Morgana is the second wild layer, and this is the part that changes the slot’s ceiling. She can land on any reel as a single, double, or full stack. A fully stacked Morgana activates a random 2x, 3x, 5x or 8x multiplier on the current spin, in both base game and free spins. That multiplier also applies to staff scatter-wild wins, which is a useful detail in the pay model.
Gamble is present after a winning spin. I can choose colour or suit on a card to double or quadruple the payout, up to five times, with a 250x bet cap from gamble. There is no mention of a Bonus Buy, so I do not factor any buy-in EV here.
Bonus Buy Options
Triggered by 3 or more scatter symbols and awards 10 free spins. Before the feature starts, one paying symbol is chosen as the special expanding symbol. Three scatters during the feature award extra spins.
Morgana Wild & Multiplier
Morgana can land on all reels as a normal or stacked wild. If she lands fully stacked on a reel, a random 2x, 3x, 5x or 8x multiplier applies to the current spin, including scatter wild wins.
During free spins, the selected special symbol expands to cover full reels when enough matching symbols land. High symbols need 2, low symbols need 3, and matches do not need to be adjacent.
After a win, you can guess card colour or suit to double or quadruple the payout. The gamble can be used up to 5 times, with a gamble cap of 250x bet.
Merlin and the Ice Queen Morgana Slot Information
Symbols are split into standard card ranks 10, J, Q, K and A, then four premiums, ring, cauldron, book and Merlin. Looking at the paytable structure, premiums can form wins from 2 matching symbols, while lower symbols need 3. That slightly increases base hit potential on premium-led combinations, but the real jump comes once the special expanding symbol is active in the bonus.
