MEDUSA MEGAWAYS FREE SLOT GUIDE
Medusa is one of the famed Gorgons (Greek gods). Though she was known for many things, most Ancient Greek folks regarded her as the god of philosophy, beauty and art. Owing to this, all those looking to attain and excel in these three things would associate themselves with Medusa. This, however, wasn’t something that came easily as Medusa herself was quite fiery and scary.
Nothing exposes this more than the fact that instead of normal human hair, Medusa’s head was fully covered by different living venomous snakes! As a way of paying tribute to the Greek god of philosophy, beauty and art, NextGen / SG did design the Medusa Megaways slot which comes with six reels and dynamic ways to win that can rise up to a high of 117,649 ways to win per spin with high volatility and a RTP of 97.63 % (with bonus buy) / 96.28% (without bonus buy).
