BGAMING LAUNCHES INNOVATIVE MECHANIC WITH MERGE UP™

Fast-growing iGaming slots provider BGaming has launched Merge Up™, with all-new merging mechanics inspired by the latest trends in mobile free casual games. This fast-paced and fun slot is the first game in the studio's Merge Up collection, bursting with other thrilling features, such as Scatters, Free Spins round, Cell Multipliers, and both Buy Bonus and Chance x2 offerings.

The shimmering gem-filled release combines 97.25% RTP and very high volatility for a dynamic edge to the gaming experience. Merge Up™ caters not only to players but also to streamers who are searching for unconventional modern games for streams.

This completely new BGaming game mechanic takes inspiration from a top mechanic within mobile casual gaming and brings it into the iGaming landscape, with a huge €250,000 max win.

Four identical Gem symbols of different levels that drop adjacently, vertically, or horizontally on the reels form a cluster and pay in this casino game. When this cluster forms, Gems merge into higher-value symbols, with the opportunity for an exciting chain reaction of winnings. The highest symbols can merge into Scatters, providing players with enhanced control and a more energetic gaming experience.

The Scatter symbol is the ninth level and appears at any position during the game. Four, five, or six of the Scatter symbols hit anywhere on the screen trigger 15, 18, or 20 spins accordingly. During this Free Spins round, five more free spins are awarded if three or more Scatter symbols hit the reels.

All winning clusters generate sticky Cell Multipliers that remain on the reels until the Bonus round ends for an additional thrill during free spins. Multipliers can be increased from x2 to x128 each time a winning combination is landed again, with this applied to subsequent wins.

Another popular feature in Merge Up™ is the Bonus Buy, which allows players to trigger the Free Spins round by buying it at a price pictured on the button. Chance x2 increases the bet slightly and gives the player a higher chance of hitting free spins.

This bold new addition to BGaming’s portfolio highlights the increased popularity of streamers in iGaming and promises a creative and engaging experience for players.

We are always looking to keep on top of the latest trends of online gaming, and this is why we are excited to launch Merge Up™, which is the first in what we plan to be a collection of merging mechanic games. We know our players enjoy the gamification of our slot portfolio, so observing what works in mobile gaming and bringing it to the iGaming landscape seemed a natural progression for us. We can’t wait for players to enjoy it.
