Age of the Gods Medusa & Monsters is a 6-reel, 164 payline slot developed by Playtech that is full of innovative bonus features. Players can enjoy Medusa Wilds which expand to fill the entire reel.
Ancient Greece has proven to be fertile ground for the imagination of developers everywhere, and the guys from Playtech seem to have taken it to new levels. They chose the mythology of this civilization and used it for an entire series, a grand one that involves a lot of unique features, high end graphics and different stories. The story of Medusa, the woman with snakes on her head which turned men into stone statues if they looked at her, is the one that we’re following here. Images give us Medusa, Cerberus, Minotaur, Aphrodite, helmets, ships and swords, but also gemstones.
The payout table of this game uses four low-paying standard symbols that come in the form of gemstones in different colours and shapes including a big diamond. Next, there is a winged helmet, a sword, and a ship. The most valuable standard symbol is the siren. Remember that all symbols can appear stacked on the reels.
Medusa herself is a wild icon. She expands and covers the whole reel where she appears. Of course, she also substitutes for missing standard symbols to complete winning combos.
When players land shield symbols on reels 2, 4 and 6 then they'll activate Medusa's Gaze Free Spins. Players must pick a shield that will reveal a high-paying symbol. Medusa will petrify this symbol, meaning when it lands during the free spins it'll become sticky.
This slot also features the hugely lucrative Age of the Gods Progressive Jackpot that can see players win one of four huge progressive jackpots at any time, on any spin.
When this is triggered players are transported to another pick and click mini-game in which they must select coins, once they've matched 3 coins they'll win the respective progressive jackpot.
This slot had the potential to be fantastic, some of the bonus features and mechanics were a lot of fun.
