Myth of Medusa Gold in brief

Myth of Medusa Gold is a slot released by Novomatic in September 2019, dressing the gorgon myth in a classic, golden guise. Yellow and black hues and the winged Pegasos give the game a feel of an ancient Greek hero tale.

Published RTP is 95 percent and volatility falls between low and medium. No win cap is listed in the official game info, so we leave it unnumbered on this page.

Theme and atmosphere

The theme tags are ancient civilizations, helmet, Pegasus and a gold‑dominated look. The package honors the traditional Medusa myth as a hero‑and‑monster setup.

True to Novomatic's style, the game feels deliberate and classic: the emphasis is on recognisable Greek imagery and a clear reel-game rhythm rather than flashy effects. The golden look and Pegasos motifs evoke traditional fruit machine halls transplanted into mythic antiquity, and the game will especially appeal to fans of classics.

Features

The feature list includes Free Spins, a separate Bonus Game, Sticky Wilds, Wild symbol and Scatter symbols.

Also includes a Risk/Gamble double-up game that lets you try to double a single win. Sticky wilds emphasise the game's action, especially on free spins where they stay in place.

RTP, volatility and max win

95% RTP falls just short of the usual 96% threshold, meaning a slightly higher-than-average house edge in the long run. The figure describes theoretical return across a large sample, not the result of one session.

Volatility between low and medium generally means more frequent but more moderate wins. The top possible win limit has not been published, and we won't speculate. This profile suits players who prefer a steady pace and longer sessions over heavy variance.

Who the game is for

Myth of Medusa Gold suits a player who likes the classic Novomatic signature, an antique theme and the free spin action brought by sticky wilds. The double-up game adds extra spice for risk-takers. Since the maximum win is not stated and the RTP is slightly below comparative level, set a budget and try the game first as a demo.

Wins occur when identical symbols form a combination according to the game rules. Wild substitutes for other symbols in winning combinations, and sticky wilds can remain in place for the duration of the spin.

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

Bonuses and gamble game

Free spins trigger according to the game info when a sufficient number of Scatter symbols appear, and a separate bonus game adds extra action. During free spins sticky wilds remain in place, accumulating wins.

After a win there is a Risk/Gamble double-or-nothing game where you can try to double the prize. Check the game rules for exact trigger conditions and doubling rules.
