Medusa Features In Age Of The Gods Slot

September 17, 2018

Playtech has been constantly adding to its Age of the Gods series and yet another one has gone live at online casinos like Bgo. The new video slot titled Medusa and Monsters is the tenth in the series. It has been developed by Ash Gaming, which is now a Playtech subsidiary. Online casino players familiar with the earlier Ash Gaming slots will recognise the games supplier’s handiwork.

Medusa and Monster video slot has six reels instead of the usual five. The reels alternate with six and seven symbol positions. 164 fixed paylines run across these reels. The background is animated and depicts a Greek coastal town. Medusa the Gorgon is a fairly common figure in online slots. She could turn mortals to stone with a glare. In this slot game, Medusa is an expanding wild symbol. The full length figure of the siren is awesome. The other high paying symbols are monstrous creatures from Greek Mythology. The Minotaur was a monster with the head of a bull. Cerberus was a three-headed hound. The final symbol is not that easily identifiable, but seems to be one of the sirens that lured sailors to their doom. These symbols appear expanded in increasing stacks. They start with a two high stack on reel 1 and go to a 7 high stack on reel 6. The other thematic symbols are Greek warship, sword and helmet. The low paying symbols are coloured gem stones.

The shield used as a mirror to slay Medusa plays an important role in this slot game. It is a stacked scatter symbol that can appear on reels 2, 4 and 6. It triggers the Medusa’s Gaze free spins when all three reels have this symbol. You pick a shield to reveal a high paying symbol. Medusa will turn this symbol into stone she lands on the reels. This symbol will remain locked until Medusa lands on the same reel. The Medusa wild symbol will start on reel 6 and move one reel to the left in every spin. The free spins will continue till Medusa lands on reel 1. Medusa and Monsters online slot is linked to the Age of the Gods progressive jackpots network. The bonus game can be triggered randomly on any spin. You then reveal jackpot symbols and are assured of winning one of the Power, Extra Power, Super Power or Ultimate Power jackpots.
