ABOUT GAME
Lord Merlin and The Lady of The Lake is a 5-reel, 3-row video slot game with 10 paylines.
3 or more SCATTER symbols trigger the FREE SPINS mode with an initial 8 spins. A random ROYAL symbol or HIGH-PAYING symbol will be chosen on each spin to become a special EXPANDING SYMBOL!

The chosen EXPANDING SYMBOL can form winning combinations across non-adjacent reels. If the High-Paying Symbol is selected as a special EXPANDING SYMBOL at least 2 of that symbol lands on the reels, that symbol will expand, and if Royal Symbol is selected as a special EXPANDING SYMBOL at least 3 of that symbol lands on the reels, that symbol will expand.

During the FREE SPINS, the SCATTER symbol will change into the WILD SCATTER symbol. The WILD SCATTER acts like a WILD symbol, and substitutes for all symbols.

In FREE SPINS, 2 or more WILD SCATTERS trigger the EXCALIBUR SPINS. Each WILD SCATTER symbol awards +1 EXCALIBUR SPIN. The chosen special EXPANDING SYMBOL locks in and can expand on all EXCALIBUR SPINS. 2 or more WILD SCATTERS re-triggers the feature.

The game also features an optional Gamble round that provides an opportunity to multiply the total prize on any spin in the main game by correctly guessing the colour or suit of a hidden card. The Gamble round can be played up to five times in a row.

You can attempt to multiply your prize in the optional Gamble round. Press the GAMBLE button after winning a prize to start the round. Your objective is to correctly guess the colour or suit of a face-down card. Take your guess by clicking the appropriate button. If you correctly predict the colour, you double your prize.

ABOUT GAME
WHAT’S THE STORY?
Legendary bandits Clint McGraw and Dottie Fields have pulled off the biggest bank heist the West has ever seen, but they wouldn’t be true outlaws if they each didn’t want to keep the riches all to themselves, right?
At sundown, Clint and Dottie will square off in an epic showdown; only one will walk away with the loot.
But who will it be?

FEATURES
This Wild-West-themed game is packed with action and features a strong narrative with dynamic characters that complement the theme.
This innovative game sees Stacked Wilds on either side of the reels so players can see Clint and Dottie duel it out on the reels for a truly immersive experience. If players don’t win from one direction, who’s to say they won’t win from the other?
The characters Dottie Fields and Clint McGraw serve as animated Stacked Wilds on the reels so that the narrative unfolds throughout the game.
In the Duel Free Spins Feature both Stacked Wilds create an innovative twist, which means rather than seeing a left to right action in the base game, the player will see the game paying both ways which is really clear through the epic animation, which ties beautifully with the theme, as Clint and Dottie fire shots; the journey of their bullets highlighting the different paylines won. .. https://www.playngo.com/games/wild-trigger

ABOUT GAME
Fire Joker Freeze is a 3-reel video slot with 5 fixed paylines. The FIRE JOKER and the ICE JOKER are WILDS and will substitute for ANY symbol. All symbols can appear as a stack. ICE JOKER can become a stack on a non-winning spin and if there is a chance to trigger the wheel feature.
RE-SPIN OF ICE is triggered when there is an ICE JOKER on a non-winning spin. The ICE JOKER sticks in place and then becomes a stack to cover the reel. Only the reels that do not contain the ICE JOKER will RE-SPIN.

RE-SPIN OF FIRE is triggered when there are 2 stacks of the same symbol on a non-winning spin. Stacked reels stick in place and the other reel will RE-SPIN. Where two different reels would RE-SPIN, then the reels that would give you the biggest potential reward will remain in place.

WHEEL OF FIRE AND ICE is triggered when all reel positions are filled with the same symbol (including FIRE JOKER and ICE JOKER WILD). WHEEL OF FIRE AND ICE is a wheel of MULTIPLIERS that has 4 wheels with different MULTIPLIERS. The wheel always starts at the innermost wheel, unless there is an ICE JOKER stack on the spin that triggers the wheel feature. When there are 2 stacks of the same symbol and there is an ICE JOKER on the other reel, the ICE JOKER will immediately become a stack to trigger the wheel.

If the player triggers the wheel with one stack of an ICE JOKER, then the player will start to play on the 2nd wheel instead of on the innermost wheel. If the player triggers the wheel with two stacks of an ICE JOKER, then the player will start to play on the 3rd wheel. If the player triggers the wheel with three or full-screen stacks of an ICE JOKER, then the player will start to play on the 4th wheel.
When the wheel stops on the MULTIPLIER, the MULTIPLIER multiplies the winnings on the spin that triggers the wheel. If the wheel stops on the SNOWFLAKE symbol, the current wheel will be removed and the player advances to the next wheel, giving the player another spin with a new set of MULTIPLIERS.

Wheel 1 MULTIPLIERS: x2, x3, x4 and a SNOWFLAKE symbol. Wheel 2 MULTIPLIERS: x3, x4, x5 and a SNOWFLAKE symbol. Wheel 3 MULTIPLIERS: x4, x5, x6 and a SNOWFLAKE symbol. Wheel 4 MULTIPLIERS: x6, x10 and x20... https://bit.ly/3na25cQ

‘No Bet’ where players can skip the race and gain an x40 Multiplier, ‘Win’ where the player can pick which they think will be the winning horse (each horse has fixed odds) to win up to x800 their bet. ‘Exacta’ lets the player choose who they think will come first and second, in order, to win x1800 their bet. And finally, ‘Trifecta’, where the player can choose who they think will come first, second and third, in order, to win x2800 times their bet.
Visually stunning, Derby Wheel has the flash of a game show with the 3D virtual horse race which features mechanical-style horses where the level of detail is quite extraordinary... https://bit.ly/3H40BLj

Biggest tourist site opens next week
Asia (North Korea) - Macau Daily Times - North Korea next week will open a signature coastal tourist site that it says will usher in a new era in its tourism industry, though there is no word on when the country will fully reopen to foreign visitors. The Wonsan-Kalma coastal tourist zone has hotels and other accommodations for nearly 20,000 guests who can swim in the sea, engage in sports and recreation activities and eat at restaurants and cafeterias on site. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un called the site “the proud first step” toward realizing the government’s policy of developing tourism. https://tinyurl.com/yztwe43t
