Temple of Medusa Slot Free Play
Developer
Though it’s going to be found under Microgaming’s name on most sites, this is actually a game that’s shared between them and All41 Studios. The actual developer for it is the latter, an independent studio that also brought to the network slots like Book of Atem WowPot, Arena of Gold, or Gold Collector.
How To Play It
A standard betting range is available for use, that will let you spend anywhere between $0.10 and $40 on each round.
The game gives you 25 active lines, present on 5×3 reels. Getting paid will be possible when 3 or more matching symbols land on consecutive reels, left to right.
Special Features
The Lucky Prize is one side of the game that’s going to be interesting, a random prize that can even be worth 5,000x the stake.
A lot of the action will be coming from the Medusa Wilds, which are being used to expand to neighboring positions. They can transform symbols in different directions, so they may go in a diagonal, horizontal, or vertical. You may have them expand in 1, 2, or 3 directions (to all nearby positions).
You will notice that the Shield scatters can be found only on the reels 2-4. Getting three of them will be required, to trigger the free spins choice. There is also the possibility of a mixed Wild Scatter symbol, when the Medusa expansion occurs on top of a scatter.
As for what your choices are, the free spins screen has these for you to pick from:
- 15 free spins with spreading wilds in 1 direction.
- 10 free spins with spreading wilds in 2 directions.
- 5 free spins with spreading wilds in all directions.
- Mystery free spins (5, 10, or 15 free spins, with wilds will expand in a random direction).
Once the free spins get going, they retrigger in the same manner, with 3+ scatters.
Maximum Payouts
For a slot machine with regular pay lines, Temple of Medusa has decent potential, paying as much as 5,000x the round’s stake back to you. The downside for these games, that can pay very well, is that they will usually have a high volatility rating as well. You might get a lot of losing rounds, or you might get rich with a single spin, you never know. RTP looks OK though, it’s at 96.40%.
Summary
Temple of Medusa will give players some decent action, and an interesting main feature with its expanding Medusa wilds. On the other hand, if you’re willing to take on some extra risk, there will be a lot of other high volatility slots these days, many of them much more exciting and with bigger potential.
