Medusa's Stone review

Theme and Style

Medusa’s Stone slot is themed around the myth of Perseus and Medusa, the gorgon whose looks turned men to stone whenever they saw her.

The setting of a ruined Greek temple decorated with broken statues and snake motifs draws players into the story, while Perseus, Andromeda, Medusa, and the Greek pantheon battle it out on the reels.

This slot will appeal to those who enjoy their Greek-mythology-themed slots a little darker than is standard.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

Medusa’s Stone has beautiful graphics with highly detailed art on the reels which is beautifully animated during the win animations. The symbols on the reels include images of Greek weapons as well as ace to queen symbols and characters from the story of Perseus and Medusa.

The slot’s soundtrack gives the feeling of watching a classic Ray Harryhausen monster movie like Clash of the Titans (in which Medusa is the main villain).

Together the graphics, sounds, and animations work really well to take the viewer back to ancient Greece.

Gameplay

Medusa’s Stone is a slot played on a set of reels with a 3-4-4-4-3 format with 20 win lines.

The base game is a classic slot, with a couple of cool bonus games and a randomly triggered Medusa Spin feature to keep things interesting. The Medusa Spin feature occurs at the end of a round. During this feature, all the character symbols on them — as opposed to a sword, helmet, or ace to queen symbol — on rows two, three, and four are turned into Wilds.

The maximum win on any given round is capped at 7,000x the player’s bet.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

The Wild symbols are typical in that they substitute for all symbols except for the Bonus and Super Bonus symbols.

If the player manages to land three Bonus symbols in one spin. The Free Spins bonus will trigger. This bonus gives the player 10 free spins.

During the Free Spin rounds, Wilds have a multiplier that is applied to any win involving that Wild.

Winning Wilds have their multipliers added to a counter. The counter is applied to all subsequent winning combinations. Wilds that are not part of a winning combination, remain in place for future spins until they are included in a win.

During Super Free Spins, the Medusa Spins are more likely and Wild multipliers are higher. Plus the player gets 12 free spins.

You can buy directly into the Free Spin bonus for 75x your bet, or into the Super Free Spin bonus for 200x your bet.

Bet Sizes, RTP and Variance

The return to player of Medusa’s Stone is 96.46%, which is above our yardstick for an average of roughly 96%.
