Petrification Mechanics Explained

Eye of Medusa revolutionizes cascade slots through its petrification system. When Medusa wild symbols participate in wins alongside low-paying card symbols (10, J, Q, K, A), Medusa herself drops to the bottom row and transforms into stone. High-paying symbol wins trigger different behavior - Perseus, Shield, Winged Sandals, and Sword symbols petrify upon winning with Medusa, dropping to the grid bottom while maintaining their stone form.

These petrified symbols remain locked in position throughout the cascade sequence, revealing multipliers ranging from 0.5x to 500x once all cascades conclude. The multiplier values depend on the petrification tier achieved, creating strategic depth beyond standard cascade mechanics.

Super Cascades System

Unlike traditional cascades removing only winning symbols, Super Cascades eliminate every instance of the winning symbol type across the entire 5x3 grid. New symbols drop from above, potentially creating chain reactions until no new wins form.

Gorgon's Gold Free Spins

Landing 3+ golden Medusa scatters triggers 10-25 free spins. Each activated Medusa multiplier becomes the minimum value for subsequent Medusa symbols during the bonus, creating escalating win potential. Additional scatters award extra spins mid-bonus.

Snakes & Stones Bonus

Navigate a 5x5 grid collecting gold stones while avoiding hidden snakes. Visual hints guide safe paths - green highlighting indicates secure cells, red warns of danger. Strategic movement using arrow keys determines your collected multiplier value.

Petrified Symbol Multiplier Tiers

Gold Tier
25x, 50x, 100x, 250x, 500x

Symbol Hierarchy & Payouts

Medusa wild symbols deliver the highest regular payouts - 10x stake for five-of-a-kind, 5x for four symbols, 2x for three. Perseus follows as the premium character symbol, awarding 6x stake for full paylines. The Shield symbol pays 4x maximum, while Winged Sandals and Sword complete the high-paying set at 3x and 2x respectively.

Card royals form the low-paying tier with deliberately minimal values. Ace leads at 0.40x for five symbols, followed by King (0.30x), Queen (0.15x), while Jack and Ten bottom out at just 0.02x for full lines. This dramatic payout disparity emphasizes the importance of landing high-value symbols and triggering petrification multipliers.

Bonus Buy Options Analysis

Four distinct bonus purchases cater to different bankroll strategies. Bombshunt FeatureSpins costs 0.30 euros with 96.31% RTP, providing affordable bonus access. Medusa FeatureSpins at 5 euros guarantees wild symbol appearances. The Snakes & Stones grid game costs 10 euros (96.32% RTP), while Gorgon's Gold free spins command 20 euros premium pricing at 96.31% RTP.

Mathematical analysis across 10 billion simulated rounds confirms the 96.3% base game RTP remains consistent across bonus buy options, ensuring fair value regardless of entry method. The 10,000x maximum win potential applies equally to organic triggers and purchased bonuses.

Strategic Gameplay Considerations

Success in Eye of Medusa requires understanding cascade timing and petrification triggers. Low-paying symbol wins with Medusa present cause her descent and petrification, while high-paying wins petrify the regular symbols instead. This creates decision points where symbol combinations directly influence multiplier accumulation patterns.

During Gorgon's Gold free spins, early low-value Medusa multipliers establish higher minimums for subsequent appearances, building guaranteed multiplier floors. The single Medusa per spin restriction prevents overwhelming advantages while maintaining excitement through progressive multiplier growth.
