Medusa The Gorgon In Online Slots

Added: September 23, 2015

Medusa the Gorgon plays bit roles in quite a few Microgaming slot games. But she holds center stage in Mark of Medusa. In Greek legend Medusa was avoided because she turned people into stone. But in this online slot she will be sought after. This online slot is very simply structured. It will appeal to high rollers who like fast paced high variance video slots, without the fuss of showy win animations and intricate bonus features. A somewhat untraditionally depicted Medusa is the wild symbol. It substitutes for all symbols except the scatter symbol. Medusa also awards the top line payouts. For five Medusa symbols on an active payline the payout is 10,000 times the line bet. Medusa also pays when the symbol appears anywhere on reel 1. The line payouts start falling drastically for the other symbols. The Greek soldiers and Cerberus the three headed dog pay from two of a kind. The other thematic symbols are swords and Grecian urn. Snakes, which form Medusa’s hair, are entwined on the playing card icons.

Pegasus, the flying horse of Greek mythology, is the scatter symbol. It awards scatter payouts when two or more land anywhere on the reels. The top scatter payout is 100 times the total bet. Three, four or five Pegasus symbols award 15, 20 or 25 free spins respectively. All payouts are tripled in the free spins and the free spins can be retriggered. Mark of Medusa has 25 paylines and you can wager up to 20 coins per payline. The coin size varies from 0.01 to 0.25. The maximum total bet is 125 credits. If you manage to hit the top payout with this bet, there is a lot of money to be won.

In Stash of the Titans, a rather cute looking Medusa is the scatter symbol. She awards scatter payouts of up to 50 times the total bet and activates 15 free spins with a 4x multiplier. In the recently released Hot as Hades online slot game Medusa in a different avatar features as a regular symbol. But she plays a crucial role and her real wicked self in the Medusa’s Maze level of the bonus game. If Hades finds Medusa behind the door he picks, Medusa will turn him into stone and the bonus game will end. All these online slots featuring Medusa can be played at Microgaming online casinos such as Royal Vegas, All Slots and Spin Palace.
