Power of Gods Medusa Review
We’ve been to ancient Egypt, we’ve visited the grim underworld and we’ve even met a whole pantheon of Greek deities in Wazdan’s Power of Gods™ debut, Power of Gods™: The Pantheon. The time has come to revisit Greek mythology, as Power of Gods™ Medusa, not surprisingly, revolves around the mythological female that could turn men to stone with her hideous snake-face appearance.
This is one of few, if any, Medusa slots that actually managed to frighten us a little, but we’re not gonna serve up any spoilers up front in that regard. The game revolves around the Hold the Jackpot bonus game, where you’ll benefit from special Medusa accumulator symbols and mystery symbols. Jackpots up to 2,000x can be won, and you can choose your own volatility and game pace from 3 alternatives, as usual.
Power of Gods™ Medusa Slot - Reels ScreenPower of Gods™ Medusa Slot Features
The Medusa Wild steps in for all regular pay symbols to help complete winning combinations, but the wild holds no value of its own. The 3 Jackpot Symbols pay 20x 50x, and 150x your stake, respectively, and the sole feature in this game is the hold-and-win style Hold the Jackpot Bonus Game.

You need 6+ blank mirror bonus symbols to trigger the Hold the Jackpot feature, and some of the bonus symbols land with a number up to 9 attached. This is a countdown number, so the relevant bonus symbols remain sticky on the reels for the given number of spins. The triggering bonus symbols then remain sticky on an otherwise cleared 5x3 grid, and you start with 3 respins when the feature is triggered.
The respins tally resets to 3 again for each new non-blank symbol you land, and the standard bonus symbols are worth 1-10x, 12x or 15x your stake per symbol.
You can also land Mini, Minor and Major jackpot symbols, and these pay 20x, 50x and 150x your stake, respectively. More than one jackpot can land, and filling the grid with bonus/jackpot symbols awards the 2,000x Grand Jackpot on top of everything else.In addition to the regular bonus and jackpot symbols, you can also land Medusa symbols, Mystery symbols and Medusa Mystery symbols. The Medusa symbol accumulates all present values from regular bonus symbols and other Medusa symbols, while the Mystery symbol can turn into a regular bonus symbol, a medusa symbol or a jackpot symbol. The Medusa Mystery symbol guarantees 1 of the 3 jackpot symbols.
Non-UK players, and anyone eligible, can buy the bonus round directly from the in-game menu, and you get 3 options as follows:
- Low volatility Hold the Jackpot costs 50x your stake.
- Medium/standard volatility Hold the Jackpot costs 100x your stake.
- High volatility Hold the Jackpot costs 200x your stake.
The 200 Spins Power of Gods™ Medusa Slot Experience
You get to see some decent base game wins, not least thanks to the Medusa Wild, before we purchase the bonus round close to the 1-minute mark. We went for the most volatile version, and we can reveal up front that we managed to land the Major Jackpot from a Medusa Mystery symbol.
How much we got away with in total however, you’ll have to see for yourself in the 3:48-minute highlights video below.Review Summary
Wazdan has definitely cracked the code when it comes to game pace, and neither of the 3 settings feels the least bit awkward. As usual, you also have the freedom to choose your own preferred volatility, and this goes for the bonus round as well (if you’re eligible to purchase it). The countdown bonus symbols can be helpful to trigger the feature, but the base game offers nothing but single spin payouts up to 400x your stake at best.
The Hold the Jackpot feature is initiated by a pretty nasty-looking Medusa snake face, and it reminded us of one of those maze scare pranks you find tons of on YouTube. The bonus sticks out because of the Medusa and Mystery symbols, and it’s fun to see the snakes grab all present cash values when Medusa lands. The 2,500x potential is mediocre at best, so we would recommend going with the standard volatility for this release.
Pros
- Choose volatility and game pace from 3 options
- Countdown bonus symbols (sticky up to 9 spins)
- Hold the Jackpot streak respins w/ 3 modifier symbols
- Win jackpots up to 2,000x from the feature
Cons
- Overall 2,500x max win is a bit low

Clover Lady™ - is a far less scary lady than Medusa for sure, and this Celtic-inspired Hold the Jackpot release is all about the druid and her direwolves.
You can win up to 3,500x your stake in the hold-and-win style jackpot feature, and this is done by collecting 6 clover ladies and 12 direwolves on the grid.Related Slots
