BGaming, a leading iGaming content provider, has just launched Merge Up, an innovative online slot game that combines the latest trends in mobile casual gaming with the excitement of traditional slots. This new release is part of the studio's Merge Up collection and features a unique merging mechanic that sets it apart from other games on the market.
With a maximum win of $263K, Merge Up promises to deliver an electrifying experience for players. The game boasts an impressive 97.25% RTP and high volatility, making it a thrilling addition to any online casino portfolio. According to BGaming, this new release is specifically designed to appeal not only to players but also to streamers who are always on the lookout for unconventional modern games to showcase during their streams.
The merging mechanic at the heart of Merge Up takes inspiration from top mobile casual gaming trends and brings it to the iGaming landscape. When four identical gem symbols land adjacently, vertically, or horizontally, they merge into higher-value symbols, creating a chain reaction of winning combinations. The game features nine levels of symbols, with the win amount dependent on the level of merging symbols and their number.
One of the most exciting features in Merge Up is the Scatter symbol, which appears at any position during the game. When four, five, or six Scatters hit anywhere on the screen, players are rewarded with 15, 18, or 20 Free Spins accordingly. During this Free Spins round, all winning clusters generate a sticky Cell Multiplier that remains on the reels until the Bonus round ends. This multiplier can increase from x2 to x128 each time a winning combination is landed again, applying to subsequent wins.
In addition to the Scatter symbol, Merge Up also features the Buy Bonus and Chance x2 offerings. The Buy Bonus allows players to trigger the Free Spins round by purchasing it at a price displayed on the button. This feature increases in cost if the bet level is increased, and it becomes disabled when the Chance x2 option is active.
The Chance x2 option, on the other hand, increases the bet slightly while giving players a higher chance of hitting free spins. This feature also becomes disabled when the Buy Bonus is activated.
According to Yulia Aliakseeva, co-Chief Product Officer at BGaming, "We are always looking to stay ahead of the curve and keep our finger on the pulse of what's trending in mobile gaming. That's why we're excited to launch Merge Up, which will be the first in a collection of merging mechanic games."
With its unique gameplay mechanics, impressive win potential, and high-energy experience, Merge Up is sure to captivate players and streamers alike. As BGaming continues to push the boundaries of what's possible in mobile game development, we can't wait to see what's next for this innovative studio.
