Greek mythology has a lot of stories that have many different monsters in it. The Gorgons are quite recognizable but many only know about Medusa who had the power to turn people into stone with one look.
The new “Golden Gorgon” game by Yggdrasil features Medusa again in the starring role but instead of stone, her gaze turns people to gold.
The main motif of the game’s background is snakes, in theme with the myth’s focus on snakes.
While Yggdrasil has a reputation for releasing games that have some amazing graphics, this game was rather bland.
The game features five reels and three rows which is a standard grid that players should be familiar with. There are 25 paylines for players to have a crack at scoring the $8,000 max cash jackpot. This is a pretty big jackpot that players will be very keen on triggering.
As for the betting range in this game, high rollers will love it as it starts out at $0.25. Players with a limited bankroll should give it a few spins and see if they get lucky. High rollers will enjoy this game though as the maximum bet is set at $400.
The game’s paytable also works pretty well. It has the card royals at the bottom. Then you have the various premium symbols like swords and shields. The most valuable symbol is the hero Perseus. Surprisingly, the game does not have any special symbols, simplifying the game a bit.
Special Features
While the Golden Gorgon does not have Wilds or Scatters, it does have some special bonuses that add to the excitement of this slot. When a winning combination is scored, the symbols are locked in place and the Golden gaze feature activates. The game gives players a respin and more respins are rewarded if another winning combination lands.
There is also the Multiplier feature. Players can occasionally fill up a column thanks to the Golden Gaze. If they are all one symbol, players get a multiplier to their next win. The amount is equal to the number of columns filled by the symbol. This game has a 96 percent RTP.
Overall, the “Golden Gorgon” is a pretty simple to play and easy to understand. Go ahead and give this game a few spins when it shows up at your online casino. If you interested in other Medusa related games why not try “Temple Of Medusa” or “Medusa MegaWays“.
