Lucky 8 Merge Up slot free play has a large playing field of 7×7. The game volatility is very high, and the RTP reaches 97,25%. The bets start from 0.20 CAD and go up to 50 CAD. If you activate the Chance x2, which is a bonus bet, your chances of qualifying for the Free Spins will increase a lot while your bet will only increase by 20%, thus making the maximum 60 CAD. The jackpot in the game is equal to 5000 times the bet.
Lucky 8 Merge Up slot seems quite strange for a slot machine, but such is the specifics of the game. Instead of symbols, you will see numbers, and each of them is a different colour. Canadian gamblers who are used to classic slots will definitely need some time to get used to the design of this one, but if it gives good payouts, it won’t be a problem.
Features of Lucky 8 Merge Up Slot
- First, you will need to form a Cluster of at least four identical numbers that are in contact. They will then join together to form a smaller set of next-level numbers. That is, if you have a cluster of Sevens, they will Merge into fewer Eights.
- Then, the Avalanche feature is activated, which drops symbols in the empty spaces; thus, there are new chances for winning combinations.
- The number 8 is the Scatter, and four to six of these will give you 15 to 20 Free Spins. During the bonus round, all the cells that have formed a cluster will be highlighted, and if this is repeated, they get a multiplier that increases with each new cluster in that spot. It can reach a value of up to x128. If you form at least four Scatters again, you will receive a new minimum of 5 Free Spins.
- Lucky 8 Merge Up slot also has a Buy Bonus through which players from Canada can trigger the Free Spins. This comes at a cost of 100 times the bet.

Our opinion
Lucky 8 Merge Up slot really offers something new and interesting. We’ve seen something similar when a winning combination leaves a Wild symbol behind, but here, the symbols are updated, and the bigger the cluster, the more new numbers will be left.
We have managed to get as many as 10 payouts in a row on a few occasions, but getting four Eights is not easy. It’s a good thing that BGaming have given a Bonus Bet as an option, if that takes too long you can buy the Free Spins as well. Whether the mechanics of the Lucky 8 Merge Up slot will appeal to Canadian players, only time will tell.
