Medusa’s Stone (Pragmatic Play) Slot Demo & Review

When you’re a powerhouse in the iGaming industry, like provider Pragmatic Play, with hundreds of slot releases under your belt, you’re going to have covered pretty much every possible theme imaginable. So, much to my surprise, when searching through their game portfolio, I didn’t find one slot that directly referenced Medusa. Well, that is until now, as the provider has created the Medusa’s Stone slot, a 5-reel game with 20 fixed paylines, an RTP of 96.46%, and a maximum win of 7,000x the bet.

There’s not a vast amount to tell you about regarding the features, with the main talking point being the Medusa Spin which can activate randomly in the base game and bonus round. When this triggers all character symbols in the centre three reels will be transformed into wilds. This is particularly lucrative in the free spins and super free spins feature, where the wilds have a multiplier attached to them, which is stored in a global multiplier and applied to all wins achieved during the bonus.

With just one stare, she can turn you into stone, but luckily, you’ll be immune from her glare in our free Medusa’s Stone demo slot, which you can enjoy below.

Medusa's Stone Slot Paytable

Medusa may not have been on Pragmatic Play’s radar until now, but the same can’t be said for other slot providers who have already utilised the theme of this mythical creature. If you want to see what else is out there in this genre, we have several free online slots you can fire up, such as the Medusa Megaways demo from NextGen, Medusa 2 from PG Soft, and the Stone Gaze of Medusa from Stakelogic.

The next destination in our Medusa Stone slot review is the pays section, where at the top of the paytable, we find four premium character symbols returning 25x, 12.5x, 10x, and 5x, respectively, for a winning combination of five. Dropping down to the lower pays, we have a Sword and Helmet sharing awards of 2x, with the Ace, King and Queen wrapping things up with equal returns of 1x if five hit across a payline.

You can never fault Pragamtic for the sheer volume of bet sizes they offer on their slots, and this can be seen again in Medusa’s Stone. Those spinning for real money can choose from a minimum of €0.20 a play up to a maximum of €240 a press if this has not been limited at the online casino you are playing at.

Played across a 3x4x4x4x3 reel formation, Medusa’s Stone has 20 fixed paylines throughout the base game and free spins feature. Players must land at least three matching symbols from left to right for the corresponding amount from the paytable to be awarded.


Medusa Spin

On any spin in the base game, the medusa spin can trigger, and all character symbols that land on the centre three reels will be transformed into wilds.


Medusa’s Stone Slot Free Spins Feature

There are two variations of the bonus feature that can be triggered on Medusa’s Stone, so let’s find out what these are and what you can expect from them.


Free Spins Feature

Landing a standard bonus symbol on reels 1, 3, and 5 will trigger the bonus and award 10 free spins. During this feature, the medusa spin can again trigger, but this time, wilds can hold a multiplier value between 2x and 6x. Any wilds that are not used will turn into stone and remain in place until they can be used to form a winning combo. Furthermore, whenever a wild is used in a win, its value will be stored in a global multiplier, and that value will then be applied to all future wins.


Super Free Spins Feature

In the base game, when the medusa spin activates, a super scatter symbol can land on reels 1, 3, and 5, triggering the super free spins feature and awarding 10 free spins. This bonus is the same as the standard free spins, but the multipliers now range from 4x to 8x.


Bonus Buy

Those playing from regions where the bonus buy facility is active can trigger the standard bonus at the cost of 75x and the super free spins at 200x.


Pros

  • It's good that the super free spins can triggered without buying it.
  • The global multiplier can reach some pretty impressive values.

Cons

  • It's potentially rare to trigger a natural super spins bonus.
  • With huge multipliers up for grabs, the max win of 7,000x seems a little low.

Medusa's Stone Slot Review Final Thoughts

As we've stated numerous times here before, Pragmatic Play slots can be very hit or miss, but I enjoyed my time reviewing Medusa's Stone, and although it doesn't have heaps of features baked into it, I still found it fun to play.The super free spins definitely have the big win potential in the game, and if you can get a few dormant wilds set in stone and then trigger the medusa spin again, you can soon rack up some impressive wins.
