Hold and Win
Legend of Medusa transforms the classic mythology into a lucrative slot experience through its innovative Hold and Win feature. When 6 or more golden Bonus coins land anywhere on the 5x3 grid, they trigger the main attraction - coins fall to the lowest position on each reel and lock in place for 3 respins. Each new coin that appears resets the respin counter back to 3, creating chains of wins that can fill entire rows.
The genius of this SYNOT creation lies in the disappearing row mechanic. Once you complete a full horizontal row with 5 Bonus coins, that entire row vanishes and awards its accumulated values, while remaining coins cascade down. This creates space for more coins to land, potentially building wins up to the maximum 250,000 EUR payout. The special green Medusa coin appears without value but completes rows, ensuring you collect the values from golden coins in that row.
The paytable reveals a carefully balanced hierarchy of ancient Greek symbols. Medusa herself serves as the Wild, substituting for all regular symbols while offering the top regular payout of 50x your total bet for 5 matching symbols. The warrior in his golden frame matches this 50x top prize, establishing these two as the premium symbols worth pursuing across the 30 fixed paylines.
Mid-tier symbols include the Griffin Shield at 25x for five-of-a-kind and the Golden Helmet with red plume worth 20x. The card royals form the lower tier, with Aces and Kings paying 15x, while Queens and Jacks deliver 10x for full lines. All payouts multiply by your total bet, making the 0.10 to 100 EUR betting range accessible to all bankroll sizes.
With an RTP of 96.01%, Legend of Medusa sits right at the industry standard, offering fair returns over extended play sessions. The real draw lies in the volatile Hold and Win feature where strategic understanding matters. During base game spins, Bonus coins already carry values from 1x to 18x your total bet, plus the three minor jackpots - MINI (20x), MINOR (50x), and MAJOR (100x). These values only pay out when you trigger the Hold and Win with 6+ coins.
The gamble feature adds another layer of risk-reward decision making. After any win up to 125,000 EUR, you can double your money by correctly guessing red or black cards. The halve option lets you bank 50% while gambling the remainder, providing a middle ground for risk management. With up to 10 consecutive gambles allowed and a Joker that counts as any color, aggressive players can potentially multiply smaller wins into significant payouts.
Payline structure follows the leftmost-to-right rule across 30 fixed lines, meaning you cannot adjust the number of active paylines. This ensures maximum coverage on every spin but also means your minimum bet starts at 0.10 EUR for all 30 lines. The autoplay function supports up to unlimited spins but wisely pauses when triggering Hold and Win, preventing you from missing the main feature while playing automatically.
SYNOT developed Legend of Medusa with version 20250701100, implementing standard safeguards including a 131-hour auto-resolve for incomplete games. The slot operates on a certified random number generator ensuring fair outcomes regardless of previous results. Maximum win potential reaches 250,000 EUR in a single game round, achievable through optimal Hold and Win sequences combined with the GRAND jackpot.
The dual reel sets - one for base game, another for Hold and Win - create distinct gameplay phases. During Hold and Win, only Bonus coins can appear, streamlining the feature toward accumulating values rather than creating paylines. The falling mechanic ensures coins always occupy the lowest available position on each reel, creating visual clusters that build anticipation as rows near completion.
