When Merlin's Millions made its debut in 2012, it didn't just become a smash hit – it also managed to scoop the prestigious title of NextGen's most successful release EVER, and that's saying something. Now everyone's favourite wizard is back in Merlin's Magic Respins, a fabulous fizzing romp of a game. It can't be denied that living up to the original slot will have been a tall order for NextGen, but in this case it seems they've risen to the challenge. The game is set in Merlin's weird and wonderful observatory atop a hill, with background artwork conjuring up a perfect wizard's laboratory – garishly coloured potions bubble in the background, emitting acrid puffs of smoke and sparkling vapours, while bizarre unidentified curiosities line the shelves. Merlin himself is the genial magician we all know and love; kind-faced but mischievous, and decked out in full storybook magical garb of cloak, hat and bejewelled staff. Compared to its predecessor, the animations in Merlin's Magic Respins are a lot smoother and more eye-catching – the screen twinkles and shimmers, even positively crackling with electricity when Merlin uses his staff. We're also a fan of the new soundtrack, which adds a jaunty exuberance to the atmosphere.MYSTICAL MULTIPLIERSSo other than the graphics, how exactly is the game an improvement on the original? Well, to start with, Free Games are triggered significantly more often, and you get more (while before it was 5, it is now increased to 7). These are caused when the Scatter symbol (a vivid purple potion in a golden dragon goblet) appears at least three times across the reels. During this mode, Merlin might dramatically flourish his wand, turning the symbols to Wild. Furthermore, as is suggested in the title, the Respins come thick and fast in this game. The brand spanking new Hold and Respin feature awards five Free Respins whenever a full stack of Wilds appears, and it doesn't end there – Respins can be won and re-triggered in both the Base Game AND Free Games mode. This can lead to some great chains of Respins and sky-high cash prizes that just keep building and building.Our favourite bit, however, has got to the SuperBet feature. This is exclusive to NextGen, and allows the player to shake things up or else experiment with a different play style than they are used to. The bigger your SuperBet, the more likely it is that you will hit Wild Respins – in turn increasing the chance of a huge win. And when we say huge, we mean HUGE – this slot's volatility is rated as Very High, meaning that it pays out often, and has the potential to multiply your original bet massively.
