Can you break the Curse of Medusa? That’s the question players must answer when taking on the latest slot from Microgaming’s new flagship studio, Red Papaya.
As soon as players enter the game, they find themselves in a dark and brooding temple where mysticism and fear hang heavy in the air.
But for those brave enough to fire up the reels and take the fight to evil, treasures await.
Curse of Medusa uses Red Papaya’s Maxways mechanic to deliver up to 117,649 ways to win with each spin.
But that’s not all… Each spin comes with Cascading Wilds and Wild Tridents so that players can feel Medusa’s rage and anger as they try to lock in those big wins.
The Curse of Medusa is strong, so players are helped in their quest to overcome it with Free Spins which are triggered when 4 or more Scatters land. Each additional Scatter awards +5 extra free spins.
Players are awarded 12 Free Games that come with an uncapped win Multiplier that grows with every Exploding Reels Cascade.
To finally end the Curse of Medusa, players need to enter the Jackpot feature where they get to pick and reveal symbols to win one of four Jackpots – Mini, Minor, Major and Mega, which offers a massive 5,000x.
Players also have the opportunity to activate additional features and functionality that can enhance their gameplay experience.
Standard Free Spins with Unlimited Multiplier – 100x the bet
Enhanced Free Spins – 200x the bet
Jackpot Pick – 150x the bet
Curse of Medusa Maxways is a highly volatile slot with an RTP of 95.98%. The min bet is set to 0.10 and the max bet to 20. The max win is 18,000x.
As with all Red Papaya slots, Curse of Medusa is visually striking and with a soundscape designed to raise hairs and get pulses racing.
Madelein Ozok, Head of Studio at Red Papaya, said: “The story of Medusa and her curse is one of the most feared in Greek mythology and in Curse of Medusa, players can feel that dark power for themselves.
“But should they be able to break the curse with the help of Wilds, Free Spins, Multipliers and the Jackpot feature, they can unlock coveted treasures and potential epic wins.
“From the highly volatile base game with 117,649 ways to win via our Maxways feature, to the high-stakes Pick’Em Jackpot game, Curse of Medusa Maxways promises heart-pounding action from the first spin to the last.”
