the feature concludes – either when the respin counter reaches zero or when all fi fteen reel positions are fi lled – players are rewarded with the values displayed on the blue discs. The red discs, however, hold a special surprise: their values are guaranteed to be enhanced at the end of the feature, providing an extra layer of excitement.
KICK THE JACKPOT INTO OVERDRIVE!
Link Overdrive is already celebrating remarkable success across casino fl oors in various European and South American markets. With its dynamic mechanics, captivating themes, and exhilarating win potential, the title has struck a chord with players in multiple regions. This Jackpot system also comprises four individual titles, each set within a unique thematic world. Divine whisks players away to the realm of Greek gods, while Exotic immerses them in the vibrant aesthetics of Indian culture. Primal sets the scene in a lush jungle environment, and Wicked invites players into a devilishly thrilling adventure. Link Overdrive is driven by two distinct game mathematics, each paired with a range of mini-features that complement the Jackpot functionality. The result is a gaming experience that is not only versatile but also highly rewarding.
In Divine and Exotic, players encounter the dazzling Diamond Reels. Any Wild or Jackpot symbol landing on a Diamond Reel transforms the entire reel into additional Wilds or Jackpot symbols, dramatically increasing the likelihood of triggering the Jackpot Feature or achieving extraordinary wins. During the base game, the central reel functions as the Diamond Reel, while in free games – triggered by landing three bonus symbols – reels two and four also become Diamond Reels, thereby amplifying the winning potential even further. In Wicked and Primal, special Action Symbols heighten the tension. When these appear – the gate in Wicked and the leaf fan in Primal – they transform into one and the same symbol across the reels, often delivering powerful wins. With a bit of luck, players might even uncover hidden Jackpot symbols behind the Action symbols, paving the way for even greater rewards.
The crowning jewel of Link Overdrive is its high-frequency Jackpot Feature, present across all four titles and powered by the popular Hold ‘n Spin mechanic – a guaranteed adrenaline rush for Jackpot enthusiasts. Players trigger the feature by landing six or more Jackpot symbols. A special highlight awaits those who manage to land the Overdrive symbol during the feature: They will enter the breathtaking Big Reel Feature, spanning across the two lower monitors to create an impressive display. The Big Reel is divided into segments that can contain either Jackpot symbol upgrades – enhanced by rewarding multipliers that set
credit meters ablaze – or a Jackpot. The number of Jackpot segments increases with both higher denomination and higher bets. Another standout: Link Overdrive raises the stakes with a total of fi ve Jackpots instead of the usual four, introducing the Over Grand – offering even more extraordinary win potential. Players who manage to fi ll the reels during the feature with the Jackpot symbol unlock the Grand Reel, which gives them a shot at winning the Grand, the Over Grand, or – with exceptional luck – both simultaneously. Link Overdrive and Link Palace supports
confi guration of two, three or four denominations, allowing operators to tailor the system to their preferences. Additionally, they can confi gure varying bet progression lists and customize Jackpot frequency to align with guest preferences and operational goals. With these two systems, MERKUR GAMING introduces two top-class Linked Progressives to the international stage. Both impress with their compelling themes, varied and engaging mechanics, and countless pulse-raising Jackpot moments that guarantee unforgettable entertainment on the gaming fl oor.
