Greek Mythology proves to be a popular topic for slot developers and Medusa by NextGen gaming is the perfect example of this. Despite being one of NextGen’s slightly older instalments, there is still plenty to like about this game and we have managed to have a good few spins and test out its features. Medusa is described as a monster and is generally characterised as a winged human female with a hideous face with hair that consists of venomous snakes.The game is designed around this character and if you enjoy a slot with a fantasy theme then look no further than this. We still think it’s worth playing and we have all the key info below.

The game follows NextGen’s classic structure and there are five reels on offer with twenty-five paylines also available so there are plenty of interesting winning combinations to be had. Players do not have to break the bank playing this game as it can be played for free before having to gamble for real cash. Bets can be placed from just a penny and this rises up to £5 so the game may not appeal to the high-end gamblers out there. The base game jackpot is 5000X though so players can win big if they are lucky enough.

The graphics are pretty detailed and while you won’t find too many 3D video animations, the music and sound effects are pretty cool and contribute well to the sense of adventure. The background is a stormy looking sky with some Greek temples visible in the background. The reel also has some interesting symbols including spears, grapes, the winged shoes of Pegasus, coins, snakes and temples. It’s all very fitting and brings the game together nicely.

For additional content, the game boasts an impressive array of extra features which are activated in a variety of ways. There are four main bonus symbols to watch out for and these are the Medusa wild, the Medusa scatter, a soldier and Pegasus himself. Each offers their own impact on the game and the first bonus is the Turned to Stone Re-Spins feature. If you can land Medusa in certain positions on the reel, this will trigger and off free spins and expanded wilds with all prizes being tripled.

The Once Bitten Bonus is the second feature and you need to land 3 or more of the Medusa scatter symbols to trigger this round and there are 10 free spins on offer and all wins during this round will be doubled. The final bonus round is the Pegasus Bonus and this mini-game is triggered when three Pegasus symbols appear on the reel. You will receive an instant cash prize for your trouble and Pegasus may also offer you a second prize from time to time.

Additionally, players can also try out the playing card prediction game by hitting the gamble button after any win. You can be in with a chance of doubling or even quadrupling your win if you can correctly guess the suit and (or) colour of the card presented to you.
