Eye of Medusa Slot Review

The Eye of Medusa Slot Game

Eye of Medusa drops me straight into a shadowy Greek temple, with Perseus on one side of the 5x5 grid and a seductive Medusa on the other. Hacksaw Gaming has gone for an atmospheric, slightly muted look rather than wild cartoon chaos. The 3,125 ways system means wins land when three or more matching symbols hit on adjacent reels from the left, so the layout feels flexible instead of tied to fixed paylines.

Bets start at 0.10 and go up to 100 a spin, so I can happily grind small stakes or push harder when I fancy it. On the main setting Eye of Medusa runs at 96.2% RTP with medium volatility and a hit rate just above 42 percent, which matches the feel in practice; plenty of smaller hits, with occasional spikes when Medusa decides to join in properly.

Symbols and Payouts – Eye of Medusa

The paytable in Eye of Medusa is simple but effective. Low pays are the card ranks 10 through A, which return around 0.3x to 0.5x stake for five of a kind, depending on the symbol. High pays are five Greek warriors and mystics framed in bronze, silver, or gold. Those premiums pay between 0.8x and 4x for a full line, but their real value appears once Medusa starts turning them to stone.

Silver and Gold Medusa symbols act as wilds, substituting for all regular pays. When high-value wins occur with a Medusa present, those character symbols drop to the bottom as Petrified tiles. Each one then reveals a prize tier: Bronze from 0.2x up to 4x, Silver from 5x to 20x, and Gold from 25x right up to 500x. These are added together before Medusa even reveals her own multiplier.

Once the stack is built, Silver Medusa shows a multiplier from 1x to 4x, while Gold Medusa ranges between 5x and 20x. The final payout comes from adding all Petrified values, multiplying that sum by the Medusa multiplier, then multiplying again by stake. When you manage to fill the bottom row with gold-framed faces, even a mid-range Medusa hit can turn a grindy session into something far more dramatic.

Eye of Medusa Slot Bonus Features

Bonus action in Eye of Medusa starts with Super Cascades. Any win clears all matching regular symbols from the grid, not just the ones in the combo, and new icons fall in. If the win is made of low pays while a Medusa is present, she drops to the bottom and sticks for the rest of that spin, with all non‑Petrified symbols removed in cycles that can chain far longer than you first expect.

High pays with Medusa trigger the Petrified feature, which feeds straight into the two bonus rounds. Three or four scatters launch Snakes & Stones with 10 or 12 free spins, where Medusa symbols appear more often and tend to show better multipliers. Hit five scatters and you get Gorgon’s Gold, 12 spins where each active Medusa sets a new minimum multiplier, and retriggers can stretch the round. Feature buys exist, but not for UK players.

How to Win at Eye of Medusa Slot

When I sit down with Eye of Medusa, I treat it as a medium volatility grinder with occasional surges rather than a pure high‑risk blast. I like to pick a stake that lets me ride the Super Cascades and build Petrified stacks without panicking over dry spells. The real money tends to arrive when a Gold Medusa lines up with several Petrified premiums, so patience and bankroll discipline pay off.

Eye of Medusa Slot RTP & Volatility

Stat‑wise, Eye of Medusa sits in a comfortable spot. The headline RTP is 96.2%, though there are lower settings around 94%, 92% and even 88%, so I always check the info panel. Volatility is rated medium on Hacksaw’s own scale, helped by the 3,125 win ways and a hit frequency around 42%. Max win caps out at 10,000x stake, which feels fair for this risk profile.

In practice, sessions on Eye of Medusa can still spike, especially when Petrified stacks align with a high Medusa multiplier in Gorgon’s Gold. Base game play feels steady enough that I am not constantly watching the balance nosedive between bonuses. In non‑UK markets the feature buys push volatility higher, but grinding into the bonuses organically gives a more measured arc and suits the game’s design better for me.

The Concluding Thoughts on Eye of Medusa

My overall take on Eye of Medusa is that it is a mechanics‑led slot with a slightly odd but memorable presentation. The earthy colour palette and card ranks are not the prettiest, yet Perseus and Medusa on either side of the grid give the game character. The Petrified system and Gorgon’s Gold multiplier ladder are where it shines, creating tense, satisfying sequences when the snakes finally line up in your favour.
