Age of the Gods: Medusa and Monsters

If you’ve been enjoying the Playtech series of Age of Gods, here’s another one to add to the collection. Age of the Gods: Medusa and Monsters takes players to face one of the most fearsome monsters in Greek mythology in this 2018 instalment of the series. There’s plenty on offer to sweeten the deal with several increasing prize pots that offer real potential. 

Any regular players will instantly recognise The Age of the Gods series. Launched in 2017, it's one of the most popular, with titles which span a whole host of themes. The original games all focused on Greek Gods and mythology but later moved on to Norse legends.  

The gameplay is set on six reels and includes a generous 164 paylines. Betting starts at 0.25 but can be increased up to 500.00 total per spin, providing a wide range that accommodates both budget players and high rollers. Volatility isn't kept the same across all of the Age of the Gods slots, and this title is on the higher side. This means you could experience long, dry spells where you'll need to avoid the gorgon's gaze while waiting for the prizes to land. 

The visuals on this slot are truly spectacular, with a burnt orange sky and the ocean waves crashing against the rocks. There's a sense of sinister beauty, and although no danger is visible, there's no knowing what might happen next… 

A series of colored jewels is the lowest value in the paytable, but there's a whole host of other symbols which offer payouts of increasing size. A winged warrior helmet, pair of swords, longboat, Cerberus, a Minotaur and Aphrodite complete the high-pays.  

Medusa isn’t one to be left out, and she appears on the board as the wild. This means she is a welcome sight - for a change! - and can substitute for any of the regular symbols to give you a helping hand. 

If you land three shield scatters at the same time, the free spins bonus round will be triggered. Before this begins, you'll need to select a shield that nominates the symbol that will be turned to stone by Medusa. Whenever this symbol lands, it will be frozen in position for the rest of the bonus.  

Medusa is an expanding wild, and during free spins, the expanding version will move across the board.  

There are also four increasing prize pots which trigger randomly in both the base game and free spins. Match four symbols on the prize pot screen to receive the corresponding payout.

Age of the Gods: Medusa and Monsters from Playtech is another winner in the much-loved series. It's simpler than some other titles, but with the same prize pots that offer real potential, it's a game that can't be overlooked.  Other titles from Playtech that you can enjoy on bwin are Age of the Gods: Apollo Power, Age of the Gods: Furious 4 and King Blitz.
