Merge Up 2 - Demo & Slot Review

Merge Up 2 uses a 6 x 6 grid structure with cluster pays (wins form by 4+ matching symbols adjacent horizontally or vertically). Bets typically range from 0.25 up to around 25 per spin. The RTP is approximately 97.25% in the main version. Volatility is high, meaning wins are less frequent but have the potential to be large when mechanics align. The maximum win potential is cited at up to 10,000x your bet.

Core mechanics continue from its predecessor: merging of symbols into higher level gems, cascading drops after wins, and a Free Spins bonus round where each cluster win can increase cell-based multipliers (up to x128) and sticky multiplier effects. Moreover, there are Bonus Buy and Chance X2 modes available for players who prefer shortcut access to bonus rounds.

• Cluster Pays Structure: Wins form when matching symbols touch side-by-side (not diagonally) in the 6×6 grid.
• Merge Up Mechanic: When 4 or more identical symbols cluster, they merge into the next level gem symbol. Some symbols vanish and new ones drop in, enabling chain reactions of wins.
• Free Spins: Triggered by landing 3+ Scatter symbols; the number of free spins awarded increases with the number of Scatters. During the round, each winning cell is marked and if that cell features again in a win, a cell-multiplier doubles (up to x128).
• Cell Multipliers: In Free Spins, marked cells increase multipliers on repeated wins (2x, 4x, 8x … up to 128x) and these multipliers apply to subsequent wins from those cells.
• Chance X2 (1.2x bet): Players can opt in to increase bet and boost chance of landing the Free Spins trigger; note this mode disables the Buy Bonus feature.
• Bonus Buy options: Allows players to purchase direct entry into Free Spins.
  • Bonus 1 (100x bet): Standard bonus with additional cell multipliers.
  • Bonus 2 (250x bet): You begin with grid full of 2x multipliers.
  • Bonus 3 (500x bet): Grants with 3-8 Bombs that can significantly increase the starting cell multiplier.
