Medusa Money Slot

Ancient Greek mythology holds a special place in the heart of online slot players, and few myths are as well-known as that of Medusa. The classic tale has been brought to life again by RubyPlay in the Medusa Money slot. Does the title do enough to stand out in one of the slot world’s most crowded fields, though? Join me as I take on the snake-haired beauty in this Medusa Money online slot review.

RubyPlay has stuck with a fairly generic online slot design for Medusa Money. The game grid is set against the backdrop of a night sky. The reels are bordered with gold, with the symbols featuring Medusa, Jason, Pegasus, and various other imagery from the myth and wider Ancient Greek mythology.

An intense, adventure-style soundtrack plays as you spin the reels, but it does little to elevate what is a fairly forgettable experience.

Medusa Money has a game grid bigger than what you would find in standard online slots. The game uses a 6x4 grid with 50 active paylines on each spin. Players will land a win when they land a matching combination of three or more symbols across a payline, starting on the leftmost reel.

You can adjust the game settings using the control panel under the grid. This includes the staking options, the autoplay, and turbo-play options. You can access all the information you need about the game by clicking the ‘i’ button. If you need any help understanding the pay table, please refer to our guide on how to read slot pay tables.

There are two main features in the Medusa Money slot. Let's see how you can trigger them and what they can bring you.

Unfortunately, there is no bonus buy option available in Medusa Money.

Following a brief test run of Medusa Money, I decided to play the game for real money. I put my stake at $1 and set the game to take 50 auto spins. I triggered the Free Spins bonus with three Scatters. In the subsequent eight spins, I won $19.75, which put me up. 

After this, I continued playing for a while, with the Wild Gaze feature throwing up some good wins. This feature seemed pretty consistent, even if it didn’t consistently deliver wins. Overall, after around 50 spins, I finished the game slightly up, with my biggest notable win outside of the Free Spins bonus being an 8x win for landing six of the Jason symbols.

Medusa Money has a solid RTP of 96.50%, above what I consider average, around 96.00%. The game has a medium volatility rating, reflecting my gaming experience. Unfortunately, the slot’s maximum win is underwhelming, at 1,400x the player’s stake.

While Medusa Money has some good selling points, notably the Wild Gaze feature, the game does little to stand out from other similarly themed titles. The slot's gameplay is solid enough, but the design is pretty underwhelming, and the 1,400x maximum win will not get anyone’s pulse racing.

If you want to test out a fun Medusa-themed slot, I recommend playing Amazing Link Medusa from Games Global or Stakelogic’s Stone Gaze of Medusa, both of which put exciting spins on the mythological femme fatale.
