Medusa High and Mighty - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Medusa High and Mighty slot review

Medusa High and Mighty is one of the slots published by game maker Light and Wonder. The base game is played on an initial 5x4 reel setup that generates 40 paylines. There is a paying wild on the reels that substitutes for all other winning symbols in the usual way. In the base game, any wild that appears fully will expand to fill the reel and unlock further rows to create 80 paylines. If two or more wilds appear in the base game, they will expand the reels and trigger three respins, hold in place, and apply a win multiplier.

There is also a bonus scatter symbol that triggers bonus games when three or more appear, with players spinning a wheel to determine the number of games and the win multiplier that will apply. This feature can retrigger.

Theme

This game will appeal to fans of slots with a mythical theme. The main character is Medusa, one of three sisters not renowned for their beauty, although the designer has had licence to change this aspect of the myth in which the eponymous Gorgon turned men to stone if they looked into her eyes.

Symbols

The main symbols are well designed, with even the card symbols reflecting the Greek theme. The special symbols are also clearly recognisable as Medusa and Perseus, although transforming Medusa into a beauty is a curious twist. In the background, a storm rages over classical ruins.

Soundtrack

A haunting tune plays during the game to add to the tension.
