Hungrybear and Yggdrasil conjure up Merlin’s Beard with customisable bonus round

Yggdrasil’s YGG Masters partner Hungrybear has revealed its latest release Merlin’s Beard, a spellbinding slot with a bonus round where players can choose their preferred combination of free spins and modifiers.

The customisable feature adds a layer of strategy to the game, offering the option to select five different permutations for increased engagement.

The options are five Free Spins + Colossal Wild, 10 Free Spins + Random Wilds, 15 Free Spins + Colossal Symbol, or 20 Free Spins + Multiplier. Alternatively, players can select the Mystery Choice, which will randomly assign any combination of free spins and a modifier.

Additionally, the modifiers can also be awarded during the base game at the start of any spin for increased win potential. This can see up to nine wild symbols appear in random positions, a Colossal or Colossal Wild symbol land anywhere on the reels, or a multiplier between 2x and 20x awarded, significantly increasing any wins from that spin.

Merlin’s Beard is Hungrybear’s fifth release as a YGG Masters partner and follows popular games such as Riches of Olympus, Mystic Magic and Mayan Temple Riches.
The title is powered by GATI, Yggdrasil’s state-of-the-art technology that enables partners to consistently employ the preconfigured, regulation-ready, standardised development toolkit to produce cutting-edge content followed by rapid distribution.
Zoe Bird, Head of Masters at Yggdrasil, said: “Merlin’s Beard offers players a captivating slot experience, with enchanting bonus features and thrilling base game modifiers, making sure every spin is brimming with magical potential.

“The game is another fantastic example of Hungrybear’s capabilities as a slot studio and we are sure it will be a hit with a wide demographic of players due to its theme, high win potential and easy-to-understand mechanics.”

Joe Chamberlain, Product Lead at Hungrybear, said: “Merlin’s Beard transports players to a mystical world filled with charm, brought to life with high-quality artwork, an epic soundtrack and a 12,000x max payout.

“We are especially pleased with the engaging and customisable free spins bonus and the variety of dynamic base game modifiers which keep players engaged throughout this spellbinding slot experience.”
