Microgaming Releases Brand New Medusa Themed Slots

Medusa has always been one of the better known characters from Greek mythology, the Gorgon sister who boasted that her beauty was greater than that of Athena. In revenge for her boast, Athena turned her into a monster and declared that anyone who looks at her will be turned to stone. Now Microgaming has announced a new slot game with Medusa as its theme.

The game is called 'Mount Olympus: The Revenge of Medusa' and has been made available in the Flash instant play Microgaming software. This is the second of Microgaming's Medusa themed games, the first, Mark of Medusa, was made available through the download software.

The Mark of Medusa was released four years ago featuring Medusa as the wild symbol as well as the winged horse Pegasus, the multi headed hound Cerberus, a Greek warrior, swords and urns. In the new slot game Medusa is given a more central role. The game is set in the passage which was under Medusa's guard. Whilst Medusa is neither the wild nor the scatter symbol, she does offer the highest fixed jackpot of 1,000 coins. If a winning combination is spun then the high value card symbols are turned into stone presumably by Medusa's angry glare.

The new game includes a free spins feature which is triggered when three or more Mount Olympus symbols appear on the reels. Before each free spin the player must choose from five snakes which Medusa presents. The snake will then reveal how many reels will be frozen and turned into wild reels.

Medusa actually makes an appearance in a third Microgaming slot, Stash of the Titans. She appears as the scatter symbol and will blow kisses to the player during winning combinations.

All three of these Medusa slots are great fun and offer some fantastic prizes, be sure to try them out at any Microgaming online casino.
