Rise of Merlin on a phone
Sideways or nothing. 3.3 s to playable, and the rotate prompt shows up before anything else does.
The phone check
Sideways only, and even then the controls sit close together. The stepper is a millimetre from the button that spends money. The demo pulls about 13 MB before the first tap registers, which on a poor bar is where the 3.3 s goes. Getting money back out is a separate count and we keep it at cashout.
One build, one return figure
Play'n GO licenses a single build of this one, at 96.58%. The figure in the game's rules footer will match the figure above, every time. That is not true of the 123 titles here that ship in more than one configuration.
Where it sits on the board
On the phone score it lands 264 of 306. Orientation carries the most weight, the wait carries the next, the buttons carry the rest. It runs 1.2 s over the 2.1 s board median, which you notice on a weak bar.
For context, 8 of the 21 Play'n GO games on this board hold portrait and the studio median is 2.6 s.
What the game is
5x3, 10 lines, expanding symbol free spins, Play'n GO, 2019. Book-style slot in Arthurian legend where a randomly chosen expanding symbol can blanket the reels during retriggering free spins.
High volatility. A short session tells you nothing, which is arithmetic rather than a criticism. Twenty dollars buys around 200 spins at the C$0.10 floor. Ceiling is 5,000x and it is not going to happen to you.
