Game Rules

Wild & Scatter Symbol

The Wild symbol substitutes for all symbols except the Stacked Wild symbol. The Stacked Wild symbol substitutes for all symbols. The Wild symbol appears only on reels 2, 3, or 4.

Stone Reel Feature

In the main game, 1, 2, or 3 stone reels can appear on any reel(s), covering all reels as they spin. Each stone reel can display a Soul Stone or a Blue Potion. The Stone Reels feature can display a maximum of 2 Soul Stones or 1 Blue Potion. After the 5th reel stops spinning, one symbol (excluding the Wild or Stacked Wild symbol) is randomly selected and appears on each stone reel.

Pots Selection Feature

In the main game, three pots may appear, from which the player can choose one. The chosen pot may contain a Soul Stone, a Blue Potion, a cash prize, or a re-spin feature. The player can choose automatic selection instead of choosing a pot, and one pot will be selected randomly. The cash prize can be worth between 1 and 5 times the bet that triggered the pot selection feature. If the chosen pot offers a re-spin feature, after the main game payouts, all reels are re-spinned, and winnings are paid out accordingly.

Soul Stone Collection

Collecting 3 Soul Stones in the main game activates free spins.

A blue indicator above the reels shows the number of spins remaining until all Soul Stones are cleared, with each cell representing one spin. The blue indicator can contain a maximum of 12 cells. Medusa can appear in the main game to destroy a Soul Stone.

• If Medusa appears and there is no win in that spin, she destroys the Soul Stone.
• If Medusa appears and there is a win in that spin but no Helmet, Shield, Torch, Mace, or Dagger symbols are hit, Medusa cannot destroy any Soul Stones.
• If Medusa appears and there is a win in that spin with a Helmet, Shield, Torch, Mace, or Dagger symbol, Perseus attacks Medusa, and she receives the Soul Stone.
• If a blue potion is dropped during the Potion Selection or Gem Spin feature, three spaces are added to the blue indicator (maximum 12 spaces).

When the Free Spins feature ends or when the blue indicator reaches zero at the end of a spin in the main game, all Soul Gems (if any) are removed and the blue indicator refills to 12 spaces.

Free Spins Feature

At the start of the Free Spins feature, 10 free spins are awarded. Medusa appears with a health bar above her, starting at 800 HP (health points). During each free spin, Perseus attacks Medusa and reduces her health bar by 40 HP.

If helmet, shield, torch, mace, and/or dagger symbols appear during this spin, Perseus attacks Medusa again, and her health bar is reduced by the win amount of those symbols, as shown in the paytable, multiplied by a variable. This variable will increase after the 3rd, 6th, and 8th free spins.

If one or more Wild symbols appear on the reels, Medusa turns the reels containing the Wild symbols to stone. These reels remain in place during the next free spin.

During free spins following previous free spins, frozen reels turn into stacked Wild symbols, which remain for 3 free spins.

If Medusa’s life bar empties during 10 free spins, Medusa is defeated and 5 more free spins are awarded.

During each free spin after Medusa’s defeat, while the reels are spinning, Perseus will spin his shield to reveal the number of Wild symbols added (1, 2, 3, 5, 7, or 9 Wild symbols) to the reels in random positions within and/or 4 reels.

Winning Bet Lines

30 paylines. Only the maximum win per bet line is paid. Bet lines win when winning symbols appear consecutively from the leftmost reel to the right. All wins are displayed as cash.

Once a sacred garden, a sinister force now lurks within the ancient ruins of Athens. The land is engulfed in destruction, and the faces of the people are frozen in a similar state of anxiety—perhaps succumbing to Medusa’s deadly temptation. Take on the role of the fearless Greek warrior Perseus and venture into the treacherous killing fields. Victory will come to you by defeating Medusa with courage and wit, or join the others in their eternal fate in the stone prison.
