Free slot: Medusa Hot 1

How Medusa Hot 1 works

Medusa is one of the most famous characters in the world of Greek mythology. This monster-woman, whose hair is made of snakes, is known to turn people into stones. In the online casino world, this well-known myth is often used as the main theme of slot machines. This is the case with the latest creation of the game provider, Yggdrasil. On September 27, 2021, the provider will make available to players a new slot machine: Medusa Hot 1. When you go to this slot, you will find beautiful scenery and a starting grid that is located in the middle of a frontage reminiscent of ancient Greece. The latter is very classic, as it has 3 horizontal rows for 5 columns. Free spins are available at Medusa Hot 1 as are features in the base game.

As mentioned above, Medusa Hot 1 is a slot machine that has a feature in the base game. This feature is triggered when the bonus symbol appears twice in the same game round. The two columns where the symbol appears do not move while the other three columns will perform a new free spin. Three features are available:

• The two bonus symbols remain and potentially a third symbol will appear to get the free games

• Bonus symbols are turned into a wild x2

• The bonus symbols are transformed into a wild x5.

The different symbols of Medusa Hot 1

Medusa Hot 1 is a slot machine that has several symbols. First of all you have the wild. This one always appears in x2 minimum and allows to replace all the other symbols of the starting grid, except the scatter symbol. The wild has no value, it just takes the value of the symbol it connects with.

Next is the bonus symbol, represented by a snake. This symbol allows you to obtain one of the three features in the basic game or the bonus games.

Then there are premium symbols. These are called premium symbols because they appear less often than normal symbols, but pay more when they are part of a connection. They are represented by famous characters from ancient Greece.

The following screen shows the value of each symbol for a starting bet of €1.

In addition to these 6 premium symbols, there are also four symbols that are not. These are called premium symbols because they appear more often than the other symbols, but pay less consistently when they are part of a connection. Like the previous screen, the value shown in the following two images is for a starting bet of €1.

The different connections of Medusa Hot 1

Medusa Hot 1 is a slot machine that consists of a classic grid, yet it offers many connecting lines. When you play this slot, you are presented with 15 paylines. For a connection to occur, a symbol must appear at least once on the first three columns of your slot machine as well as on a payline. The following screen shows all the paylines available on this slot machine.

It is important to note that connections on the Medusa Hot 1 slot machine only work from left to right and only the highest paying payout per line will be taken into account.

How the Medusa Hot 1 bonus works

As mentioned in the introduction to this slot, Medusa Hot 1 has a bonus feature that you can get by getting at least three times the bonus symbol on a single game spin.

You will then get 7 free spins. On each spin, a premium symbol (from the lowest paying to the highest paying) will appear in place of the bonus symbols until your bonus is over. Just look above the starting grid to see how the premium symbols work.

Every time a bonus symbol appears, it is replaced by a premium symbol. In addition, every time a bonus symbol appears, you are awarded a new free spin. This free spin is made with the premium with which you got the bonus symbol.

On your last spin, the most volatile feature of this slot machine is triggered: Hot 1.

The latter is very simple to understand: all sticky symbols will not be premiums, but a wild symbol that appears in x2, as you can see between the screen above and the image below. If you are lucky, you can win a lot of money with this feature.
