Medusa II

Overview

Medusa II from PG SOFT revisits the classic Greek myth in a 5 × 3 video slot built for HTML5 browsers and touchscreens alike. With 30 fixed paylines and a stated RTP of 94.96 %, the title sits in the developer’s medium-volatility bracket and advertises a top payout of 2,000 × the stake. While the audiovisual side leans heavily on cinematic set-pieces, the math model remains the decisive factor for players weighing up risk and reward.

Paylines & Base Game Flow

All symbols pay left to right across 30 lines. Because the lines are fixed, every spin automatically covers the full game board, which helps newcomers avoid accidental mis-configuration. The 5 × 3 grid keeps the action familiar, so bankroll swings will stem mainly from hit frequency rather than exotic reel extensions.

RTP 94.96 % — What It Means

The return-to-player figure is fractionally under the modern 96 % benchmark. In practice, 94.96 % means that for every £/€100 theoretically wagered, the long-term system is expected to recycle £/€94.96 back to players. Actual short-term results will vary, but anyone who regularly compares RTP menus may notice the house edge is slightly steeper here than on many fresh releases. Always verify the figure inside the in-game paytable, as multiple RTP versions sometimes exist.

Volatility Rating: Medium

A medium setting suggests a compromise between small, frequent line hits and occasional larger spikes. Budgeting strategies that extend session length—such as keeping individual bets to 1 %–2 % of your overall bankroll—tend to work well with this risk profile.

Win Potential

The max exposure stated in the specification sheet is 2,000 × the total stake. For perspective, a £/€1 spin would cap out at £/€2,000. Compared with some of PG SOFT’s higher-ceiling epics, this is a modest top line, so adrenaline chasers might find the potential slightly conservative.

Theme, Presentation & Mobile Play

Medusa II leans into 3D animation and a dark, suspenseful soundtrack, positioning players as Perseus in the Gorgon’s lair. According to the provider’s promotional copy, dynamic camera angles and character cameos intensify the action during feature triggers. True to the studio’s mobile-first philosophy, the portrait interface keeps the spin button within thumb reach, and JS/HTML5 technology promises snappy loading times on both iOS and Android.

Special Features — Still Unverified

Third-party reviews mention mystery “Stone Reels”, soul-stone collection cycles, and a Medusa battle free-spin mode. These elements are not listed in the official specs we received, so treat them as unconfirmed until you open the game’s rules menu. If present, such layered mechanics could explain the medium volatility despite a fairly contained max win.

Responsible Gaming Note

This game, like all real-money slots, should be approached as entertainment only. You must be 18 + (or the legal age in your jurisdiction) to play. Set limits, take breaks, and never chase losses.

Verdict

Medusa II delivers atmospheric visuals and an accessible volatility profile, but its below-average RTP and capped 2,000 × payout may deter value-driven players. For mythology fans who prioritise theme and steady pacing over sheer hit size, it could still be a solid session choice—just make sure to confirm any feature details and RTP variant directly inside the game before committing real funds.
