Medusaby Pocket Games Soft

Greek mythology has no shortage of tragic heroes and heroines and Medusa is one of them. Once a priestess of the Goddess Athena, she broke her chastity oath by falling in love with the sea god Poseidon who is apparently quite the hunk.

Seeking forgiveness, she only found wrath as was transformed into a hideous creature with snakes instead of hair cursed to turn any mortal she gazes upon into stone.

Now this famous myth is turned into a slot game by PG Soft which is not a surprise since myths are this developer’s favorite theme.

Theme

The game is mobile-first like all the other games from this software company. While it can be played on a desktop it’s clearly meant to shine on a vertical mobile screen. Punters with bad eyesight might find some text is a bit too small on the desktop version where the game is presented in a vertical orientation as well.

The main screen of the game is dominated by an animated 3D render of Medusa herself lounging in the Roman fashion with some grapes next to her. This, of course, is pre-monster sexy Medusa. Which is again no surprise from PG Soft as they have a penchant for putting pretty women everywhere in their products.

Overall, it’s a very attractive package, because the developer really paid attention to details. The animation on Medusa is expressive and high-quality and there’s even a little touch when the spin button is clicked which shows a splash of water under it.

Betting Options and Functions

This tale of Greek goddesses and gods takes place on a five-by-three grid with 30 fixed winning lines.

Players can choose a wide range of bets from 30 cents to 150 euros so high-rollers should take notice.

Other than that, all the options we’ve come to expect from high-quality games are here. Turbo spin to make animations go faster, auto spin with options on when to stop.

Special Features

Myths are grand and epic, so it’s necessary for any media based on them to be as well. And what a better way for a slot to be grand and epic than through its special features?

The developers clearly agree and they’ve made some very interesting gameplay choices here.

The first feature…

…is called “mini reels” and it’s a small three symbol line that can show either Medusa or Poseidon symbols. Three Medusas will transform any 3-5 random symbols into Medusa symbols (as she is high paying) and three Poseidons transform all symbols in two or three randomly chosen reels into full stacks of the same low paying symbol.

If three or more scatter symbols appear the punter will be awarded extra spins which have two interesting twists.

First…

…on every spin there is a chance that the three middle reels will be graced with three wild symbols. And secondly, there is a meter that fills up any time a Medusa or a Poseidon are on the reels.

Twelve of them will award an x3 multiplier, 24 will add x5, 37 will add x10, and fifty will add x30.

Our Take

As always with PG Soft, this is a top-shelf product. The graphics are polished and lovely, the sound is good and the whole experience has a very premium feel.

Adding in the fact the features are exciting and there’s a whole x30 multiplier to be won, fans of gaming on the go should definitely check this title out.
