INTRODUCTION

Volatile slots with sprawling feature packs and purchasable bonuses are all the rage in 2022. That’s why it can be interesting to see a game take a more toned-down, traditional route. It’s a breath of fresh air in a crowded release schedule – especially if you like keeping up with new releases.

Red Rake Medusa Hunt does start off on the wrong foot, though. First of all, the whole theme of the Gorgon and ancient Greek mythology is easily one of the most played out in the world of online slot games. Secondly, the graphics can only be described as a bit outdated. The visuals are somewhat murky and the UI does a questionable job of standing out from the background. We can chalk this up to personal preference, though. The mechanics definitely have some interesting things going on, as our Medusa Hunt slot review will point out.

Medusa Hunt slots focus on free respins with each win, and the wilds are less relevant than the sticky symbols. We were a bit surprised – it seems Wilds are the main focus of most online slots in 2022. This title throws in a few curveballs instead, offering a curious mix of innovation and tradition.

HOW TO PLAY MEDUSA HUNT SLOT

To play Medusa Hunt, just use the plus and minus signs at the bottom to set your stake. Bets have a coin-per-payline format, with coins ranging from £0.01 to £3. This means that the full maximum wager in Medusa Hunt is £75, which should cover most needs.

Once you decide on the stakes, just hit Spin and watch the reels do their magic. The objective is fairly standard – you want to arrange matching symbols from left to right along one of the 25 pre-determined paylines. If you do, you’ll get a payout depending on the type and number of symbols matched.

The interesting part about this game is that you get free respins for every win. As soon as you arrange a winning combination, you get an automatic free respin. However, any symbol that was part of the winning combination will stick to the table. It can then be used to make additional winning lines (though you can’t get a payout from the same line twice in a row this way.) For every win you get in a single round, you get a multiplier on all subsequent wins as well. This multiplier grows even further if you win multiple times in a row. More on that later.

1The free respin on every payout cannot trigger the same payline twice in a row. However, the sticky symbols still make hitting additional lines fairly easy.
2It’s not uncommon to see 2 or 3 consecutive wins in this game. However, the more lines you complete with the sticky symbols, the less likely it is that you’ll see more. That’s why getting past 3 wins in a row is quite hard.

SPECIAL FEATURES

There are two special symbols in Medusa Hunt by Red Rake, though neither hits all that often. The Medusa herself acts as a Wild and can substitute anything except the Bonus symbol. Strangely enough, she’s one of the rarest Wilds we’ve ever seen. You could spin the reels dozens of times and not see her appear once. It’s even stranger if you consider she’s the game’s title character.

The Medusa Hunt bonus symbol triggers a free spin mode if you 3 of them anywhere on the table. Medusa Hunt free spins don’t have much special about them, though. You just get 10 pins you don’t have to pay for, and re-triggering is not possible unless you hit 3 Bonus symbols again. The only exception is the odd Wild symbol, which will stick to the table.

Lastly, we’ve already mentioned the multiplier counter to the side. Consecutive wins will increase the returns of future consecutive wins. It’s a nice enough addition, but getting the counter to go above 2x is very hard to do.
