Amazing Link Medusa

Amazing Link Medusa is our slot of the month for October 2023. This 5 x 3 slot is causing a bit of stir among players thanks to an imaginative theme, engaging play and of the potential jackpot prizes on offer. Also thrown in are free spins with a wild reel and a collect-all mini game. So let’s take a closer look at this latest Amazing Link variant from SpinPlay Games.

Theme/Visuals

In keeping with the previous nine Amazing Link games, ALM features sumptuous graphics with the game area set against Medusa’s beautifully-rendered home island of Sarpedon Island complete with forbidding mountains, a turbulent ocean and brooding skies. The setting is enhanced by an assortment of animations including slithering snakes and Medusa’s green eyes. It looks great then. But how does it play?

How to Play Amazing Link Medusa

There are 20 pay-lines in the base game with wins possible by landing three to five symbols from left to right across five reels.

Playing card symbols serve as low value symbols and worth up to 2x your bet (Ace, King, Queen). Medium to high value symbols are represented by various characters and objects from Ancient Greek lore. Here’s a run-down of these.

• Sandals of Hermes – 3 symbols (0.30x), 4 symbols (0.50x), 5 Symbols (3x)
• Helmet – 3 symbols (0.30x), 4 symbols (0.50x), 5 Symbols (3x)
• Pegasus – 3 symbols (0.50x), 4 symbols (1x), 5 Symbols (4x)
• Hero Pegasus – 3 symbols (1x), 4 symbols (2x), 5 Symbols (5x)
• Wild Medusa – 3 symbols (1.50x), 4 symbols (5x), 5 Symbols (10x)

Regular symbols are joined by the Gorgon Medusa wild which substitutes all standard symbols to hopefully do the honours in creating winning pay-lines. It covers , one, two or three symbols positions.

Amazing Coin Symbols

Following any unsuccessful spin during the base game, Amazing Link Coin symbols randomly appear. These come attached with cash or jackpot values and can also trigger the pick and bonus round games.

Pick Game

This is activated at random and will display 12 coins. You’ll be required to pick them with the goal of revealing three of the same jackpots: Mini, Minor, Major or Mega.

Free Spins Round

To active the free spins round, you’ll need to land three bonus symbols. These appear on the centre three reels and trigger 10 free spins.

During the free spins, one reel will be covered with a wild symbol. This is the Amazing symbol and it also collects, adding to your cumulative win amount. Every time a gold coin lands, you also get another three free spins.

Amazing Link Feature

Land six or more Amazing symbols and you’ll unlock the Amazing Link feature. Here, the triggering symbols stay in position and three spins are then awarded.

If another one lands, the re-spins are rest. These symbols carry, mini (10x your bet), minor (20x your bet) and major (100x your bet) jackpots as well as cash prizes.

Final Thoughts

In truth, Amazing Link Medusa doesn’t deviate very much at all in terms of game-play. The main discerning feature is the presentation and theme.

But happily for SpinPlay Games, ALM is built on very solid foundations with the previous games proving highly popular with gamers.

For many, the updated visual embellishments and potential 5000x pay-out will be more than enough to satisfy.
