Merlin's Money Burst is one of those NextGen oddities that throws the rulebook out the window. The grid alone tells you something's off: reels 1 and 2 are tiny 2×2 blocks on the left, while reels 3, 4 and 5 stretch tall on the right. It's a 2-2-4-4-4 layout with 60 paylines, and yes, it looks weird the first time. Give it three spins and the logic clicks.
The setting is a moonlit forest soaked in teal and purple, glowing crystals up front, the wizard's logo pulsing top-left. Released June 20, 2019 as the sequel to Merlin's Millions, this one runs an RTP ladder from 95.50% up to 96.75%, high volatility, and tops out around 10,000x your stake. Bets stretch from a penny to seventy bucks, so it scales for cautious sessions and adrenaline ones alike.
Here's where it gets interesting. That little 2×2 block on the left? It's basically the engine room. Land 4 matching symbols across those four cells (wilds count) and you trigger 4-Match Held Re-Spins: five free re-spins with the block locked, while Merlin can enchant up to 6 symbols on the right reels into wilds before they land. Three scatters on reels 3, 4 or 5 hand you 10 Free Games, where Merlin instead transforms up to 9 symbols into wilds after the reels stop. Retriggers? Yep, and features can stack inside features.
And then there's Wild Spins. Fill the 2×2 block with 4 matching AND land 3 scatters on the same spin, and the whole left side becomes solid wild for 10 spins. If those four left cells were already wild on trigger, you get 20. The entire left wall locked wild plus Merlin enchanting up to 12 symbols on the right? Absurd. The catch is honest: that double-trigger condition is so rare you'll likely never see it in a casual session. Cool to know it exists.
The SuperBet ante is the classic Merlin trick from the previous game, bumping Merlin wild multipliers from x2 to x10 for extra coin, and yes, climbing the SuperBet ladder raises RTP from 95.50% to 96.75%. Is that a paywall for the best math? Sort of. But it's transparent and you can ignore it. Add Red/Black gamble on any win and you've got a 2019-era NextGen design that still feels fresher than half the new releases.
