Set against an Acropolis-style Greek temple, the reels in Medusa include symbols of daggers, bunches of grapes, jars of wine, Pegasus' winged shoes, a snake, coins and a temple - there's no playing card filler here, they all match the mythical theme. The temple will get you the biggest prizes with 5,000 coins on offer.
Medusa is the wild and is the key to triggering the Turned to Stone Re-spins feature - find 3 Medusas on the reels and you'll be awarded 3 re-spins with all wins trebled. Reel 2, 3 or 4 will become an expanded wild during this feature.
The Medusa logo is the scatter - land 3 or more of them and you'll activate the Once Bitten Bonus feature and be awarded 10 free spins with all wins doubled. Hope to see the soldier symbol here as he will award 3 Super Spins which are played out after the free games. All wins here are boosted by a cool 5x multiplier. You can re-trigger the free games here too.
The final extra is the Pegasus Bonus feature which you'll trigger when 3 or more of the winged horse land anywhere on the reels. It's a pick me round where you can win up to 50 times the triggering bet. As well as the bonus cash, you can also receive a win all or be given the chance to pick again. If you're lucky enough to activate the Pegasus Bonus feature in the free spins your prize will be doubled. Land it in the Super Spins and you'll receive a 5x boost.
Medusa is a fairly volatile slot with the variance on the high side of medium - you may spend your time in the base game wondering whether you've irked Medusa and she's turned your jackpot chances to stone. Things warm up nicely once the bonus features kick in though especially if you get granted some super spins with their very generous 5x multiplier.
With decent visuals, a stirring soundtrack and a jam-packed array of features, Medusa packs a very impressive overall punch and is well worth taking for a spin. I would recommend you try the sequel, Medusa II, and WMS Gaming’s classic Zeus which has a similar theme.
