Medusa Hot 1

Pluck up your courage to creep into the lair of the most fearsome gorgon of them all with Medusa Hot 1, the online slot from Yggdrasil. Greek mythology has many gods, but this time you’ll be facing down a monster as you play for a potential top payout of x7500.

With her hair of writhing snakes and her ability to turn humans into stone with one look, Medusa is one of the most formidable of all time. Plenty of slots are dedicated to her legendary powers, with titles such as Mighty Medusa, and Power of Gods: Medusa. There are lots of opportunities if you enjoy squaring up to a creature that could strike you down with a single glance!

Medusa Hot 1 is played on a 5x3 board which includes 15 paylines. Betting begins at 0.20 and can be increased to a max bet of 40.00 total per spin. Volatility is high so prepare yourself for a lengthy stay in Medusa’s den while you wait for prizes to land.

There's nothing fluffy and warm about the gorgon, and Yggdrasil has done a top-notch job of creating a sinister atmosphere in her lair. With a dark backdrop, scattered swords and eerie lighting, there's a feeling that Medusa could spring out of the shadows at any moment. 

Playing card royals start things off slowly as the low pays, warming players up for what's to come. The high pays bring a whole host of creatures from Greek mythology, including a satyr, a mermaid, a harpy, a cyclops and a minotaur. 

Of course, Medusa herself wouldn't want to be left out, so she appears on the board as the wild.

Land two scatter symbols, and the Mystery Respin feature will unlock. The two scatter symbols will lock in position while the rest of the reels respin once. Different versions of this feature are available, including: 

• Bonus Chance Respin - the scatter symbols remain unchanged
• Medusa Wild Respin - the scatter symbols turn into wilds
• Medusa Power Respin - the scatter symbols turn into wilds, and a X5 multiplier applies 

If you land three scatters, the free spins round will be triggered. Players will receive seven free spins, and the scatters will turn into the lowest value of the character symbols (the high pays). These symbols will lock into position. If any further scatters land during free spins, it will also turn into the same character symbol and lock in place, plus you'll receive an extra free spin. 

During the free spins, if no scatters land, then the frozen scatters will all change to the next highest value character symbol.

The Hot 1 feature will come into play on the final free spin. This changes all of the locked scatters into Medusa wilds. If any more scatters land, they will also lock, and you'll get another spin. This carries on until no more scatters land.

Medusa Hot 1 from Yggdrasil is an online slot which is beautifully designed, as is typical for this studio. Add in a plethora of features, and you'll probably be seriously tempted to pay a visit to Medusa's lair.
