Playtech had launched the Age of the Gods series to replace its Marvel super hero series. It is obvious that the leading software provider to online casinos is backing these Greek mythology themed slots to the hit with regular new additions. The latest and tenth title to go live is Medusa and Monsters. This one has been developed by Ash Gaming, a Playtech subsidiary. Old timers at Playtech online casinos will recognise the Ash Gaming touch.

Medusa is the wicked lady of Greek mythology that online casino players love. Her horrific visage had the power to petrify mortals, but in slot games she usually awards some sort of benefit. In this slot game a ravishing Medusa is the lead character. She is the wild symbol that expands to a sexy full length figure of the Gorgon. The other high paying symbols are monsters from Greek mythology. Minotaur is the man with the head of a bull and Cerberus is the three-headed dog fit into the category of monsters. Then there is another lady, not clearly identifiable, but probably one of the sirens. The other thematic symbols are Greek warship, sword and helmet. The low paying symbols are gem stones.

The shield plays an important role in the legend of Medusa. In this slot game it is a stacked scatter symbol that can appear on reels 2, 4 and 6. It triggers the Medusa’s Gaze free spins. Medusa will lock a randomly chosen high symbol when it lands on the reels. This symbol remains locked until Medusa lands on the same reel. There is no definite number of free spins awarded. The feature continues till Medusa lands on reel 1. The slot machine is networked to the Age of the Gods progressive jackpot. The network has four independent levels. You are assured of winning one of these through a randomly triggered bonus game.

Ash Gaming makes its presence felt in the structure of the Medusa and Monsters online slot. It is reminiscent of an earlier title Sindbad. The slot machine has six reels with alternating six and seven symbol positions. 164 fixed paylines run across these reels. The high paying symbols appear expanded in increasing higher stacks. They start with 2 high on reel 1 and go to 7 high on reel 6.

Medusa and Monsters is live at all Playtech online casinos like Mansion Casino on both the desktop and mobile gaming platforms. It can also be played from Playtech Live Casino, Poker and Bingo verticals.
