The Greek gorgon and her head full of snakes are here to help you come into some serious cash. Keep your eyes on the prize in Medusa’s Gaze, a novel arcade game from Playtech that offers the potential to capture incredible rewards.

The twelve paylines across the game board are likely something most players have never seen before. Rather than spinning reels, the game board has four, counter-rotating circles full of colored blocks. With seven colors in all, each is worth a different amount. White blocks are used as a Wild and substitute for every color to make winning combinations.

Players can stake anywhere from $0.20 to $500 on a single spin. Auto Play allows for up to 50 games to be played with only one mouse-click.

When the circles come to a rest after a spin, every match along the paylines of three or more of the same colored blocks are turned to stone by Medusa and fall away from the board. The space left empty is then filled by the surrounding blocks. For each combination that occurs after an initial match the game’s win multiplier increases by x1. That means that the more cascading blocks there are in a single spin, the higher rewards will rise.

Medusa’s Gaze is about as simple and straightforward as it gets. All you have to do is place your bet and spin to see if you’ll come out a winner. The unique approach to a simple objective on top of its unique theme make this title a must for arcade game lovers.

Medusa’s Gaze doesn’t try to out-do its simple design with a lot of gaudy graphics or over-zealous sound effects. Simple all the way through, the game achieves exactly what it has set out to do: create a fun and approachable environment where huge rewards are possible on every spin.

Enjoy quick rounds of play, even faster loading and zero downtime. All in all the game couldn’t be any more lightweight on a player’s system.
