Medusa's Golden Gaze in brief

Medusa's Golden Gaze is a slot game released by 2By2 Gaming joulukuussa 2018 that focuses on the gorgon's golden, petrifying gaze. Shades of brown, gold and green create a warm antique atmosphere combining imagery of warriors and mermaids.

Published RTP is 96.06 percent, which sits slightly above the industry’s common reference level. Volatility and theoretical max win are not listed in our game info, so we do not state them numerically.

Theme and atmosphere

The theme tags are ancient civilizations, helmet, shield, ring, mermaids and warrior. The colouring leans to golden sheen and green, emphasising the 'golden' gaze theme as the name suggests.

2By2 Gaming's design keeps the look classic and mythical. Mermaids and warrior gear expand the mythic world around the traditional gorgon imagery. The golden color scheme ties the game's name directly to its visuals, and the warm tones make the gaze of the petrified power feel more celebratory than threatening.

Features

The feature list includes Free Spins and Free Spins Mode Choosing, Mystery symbol, bonus symbols, Scatter symbols and Wild symbol.

A distinguishing feature is the choice of free spin type, which gives the player influence over the bonus. A Mystery symbol adds unpredictability by revealing the same symbol across the grid during a spin.

RTP, volatility and max win

96.06% RTP slightly exceeds the industry's common 96% benchmark. This is a long-term theoretical return, not a prediction for a single session.

The game does not publish volatility as a number, and we don’t guess it. The same applies to the top payout cap, which isn’t listed in our game details — we don’t publish a number we haven’t seen. With these missing figures the game’s payout profile remains partly open, and the best way to judge it is to try the demo at your own pace.

Who the game is for

Medusa's Golden Gaze suits players who like choosing the free spins type, the surprise of the Mystery symbol and the warm gold-antique theme. A slightly above-average RTP is a plus, but since volatility and the max win are not stated, it's wise to set a play budget in advance and try the game in demo mode.

Gameplay

Wins occur when identical symbols form a combination according to the game rules. Wild substitutes for other symbols in winning combinations, and the Mystery symbol can reveal the same symbol on the grid during a spin.

The exact grid layout and the precise paytable multipliers are confirmed in the game’s info panel.

Free Spins and bonuses

Free spins trigger according to the game info when a sufficient number of Scatter or bonus symbols appear. In the Free Spins Mode Choosing feature the player selects the type of free spins before the bonus starts.

The Mystery symbol adds extra unpredictability to the free spins. Exact trigger conditions, differences between free spin types and their counts should be checked in the game's rules.
