Bonus features
Spin without disruptive distractions — find the symbol progression outline above the reels — and upgrade cluster combinations to level 9, watching them turn into rainbow bombs. The bombs will then explode, clearing out 8 symbols around them, increasing the Cell Multipliers in these cells by 1, and finally turning into Scatters! Collect 3+ Scatters in a spin to get up to 30 Free Spins with Cell Multipliers, or purchase your way into the Bonus game with starting boosts of x2 or 3 to 9 bombs. Choose your playing style, build a strategy, and transform your bets into big wins of up to x10,000!
The Merge Up™ 2 slot is the enhanced version of the beloved BGaming hit Merge Up™! It serves improved graphics, offers 3 Buy Bonus options, and integrates multipliers and bombs into the base game, making the gameplay even more dynamic and engaging than in the original title. Spin for high thrills in the bigger and bolder Merge Up™ demo!
During the Free Spins round, the cells, where the winning cluster was formed, remain marked till the end of the round, and the progress of the multipliers continues until free spins run out. If 3+ Scatters appear on the reels in one spin, 5 additional free spins are awarded.
Additional bonus rules may apply; always confirm details in the in-game paytable.

Graphics & sound
Graphics: At the core of the Merge Up online slot sits the Cluster Pays mechanic, which decides how symbols pay out. The game plays out on a 6x6 grid, where symbols create winning combinations when at least 4 matching ones appear horizontally and/or vertically adjacent. This mechanic is closely tied to the cascading and merging systems, which we’ll walk through shortly below.
Sound: Look for distinct audio cues for feature triggers and wins; these improve usability when playing quickly.
