Play Medusa's Lair for Free

Hidden away in the depths of a temple, torches lining the walls, you will find where Medusa resides; here is where you will test your luck to reach the prize you seek.

Graphically speaking this title is a happy medium between purist and extravagant designs, with the animated tiles being subtle and simple, yet engaging enough to keep you teetering on the edge of seat as you play. The crackling flames of the torches only adding to sensations creeping along your spin.

The tiles themselves are a mixture of unique visuals and decorated card values, however they come together to create an intense atmosphere that could rival the infamous stare of the lady herself. The lowest value tile you will find is the 8, which offers up a tiny two credits when you match up three, and only 50 when all five symbols match up.

As for the higher value icons, your keys to the jackpot, you have an array of winged shoes, brave explorers, Medusa herself, and an ancient seal, which is the highest out of them all at 1,000 credits. Medusa is the bonus symbol, while the knight-come-explorer is the wild, and the winged shoes your way to get many free spins.

As any adventurer who would dare brave the wrath of such a god, there are certain features that will better prepare you for your battle, and in turn will reward you handsomely. The wild will provide users with a base game multiplier of 2, as well as substituting icons.

Moving onto those fluttering beats of the winged shoes, these tiles are your scatter icon and will herald you a varied amount of bonus spins depending on how many you find on your reels. Should you uncover three you’ll get five credits and the free spins game, which then climbs to 100 credits when you line up five icons, as well as the additional spins. This is a great way of making that multiplier work for you.

Medusa really is the clincher in all this, for three of her bonus symbols will lead you to an epic face off where you need to don your shield to stop yourself being turned to stone. If you manage to survive you will be rewarded at the end of the encounter.

Starting off on this journey takes some guts, and so you need to make sure you know the full details in order to keep you safe along the way. Although there is a demo mode to help ease you into the gameplay, when it comes to playing with money you need to allocate a minimum of one credit, which you can increase up to 50 if you so wish.

As with most slot machines, you can choose to input the amounts manually, or click the ‘Max Bet’ button to help speed the process along, which is incredibly useful if you want to get straight down to business.

For added convenience throughout your trials of the ancient lair, there is an Autoplay feature that gives you several spins at a time, as well as a Fast Play option which makes the reels spin faster. Lastly, you have a Spin Stop option that enables players to halt the reels whenever they wish to, giving them all the flexibility they need.

Should you be at a total loss, there is an advanced control panel that delivers some handy tutorials to aid you along the way, which is ideal for any novice gamers out there - Medusa can be a tricky enemy, so any tips will keep you safe from harm for as long as possible.
