Merlin’s Secret Maxways is a slot released by Games Global under the Microgaming network on 25 February 2026. It uses a 6-reel layout with a horizontal tracker and the Maxways system, which can expand the number of ways to win to 117,649. The game has 96.04% RTP, very high volatility, and stakes from 0.20 to 40.00.
The design places Merlin in a darker fantasy setting, with ruined stone, glowing woodland details and themed symbols such as spellbooks, creatures, Merlin and his apprentice. Gameplay centres on cascading reels, where winning symbols are removed and replaced, while the reel structure can shift during a sequence. A Lightning symbol on the tracker can turn one regular paying symbol on screen into Wilds.
Free Spins are triggered by three or more Book Scatters and begin with 10 spins, with a Gamble Wheel offering a chance to increase that total. In the bonus round, the multiplier starts at 1x and carries over between spins, building after winning cascades. Players can use the demo version to play for free and practice before playing for real money.
