Hey everyone,
I've been diving deep into the new Medusa slot, and I have to say, it's one of the more narratively clever and mechanically interesting games I've played lately. It weaves the tragic love story of Medusa and Poseidon directly into its core features. If you're confused by the "mini reels" and the "meter" the game mentions, let me break it down because that's where the real magic happens.
First off, forget traditional paylines for a second. This game likely uses "Ways to Win" (like Megaways or a standard All-Ways system), where you win by landing matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from the left. This is important because the special features add layers on top of this base system.
The Core Features Decoded:
1. The Mini-Reels (The "Wonderful Memories")
These are separate, smaller sets of reels that can appear on top of the main game grid, usually during spins or as a triggered feature.
When they spin, they don't directly create wins. Instead, they represent the power of Medusa and Poseidon's love. The outcomes on these mini-reels can add special symbols (like Wilds or Scatters) directly onto your main game reels, transform existing symbols, or award instant prizes.
Think of them as a bonus round that plays out on top of your base spin, modifying the outcome in your favor.
2. The Love Meter (Medusa & Poseidon Meter)
This is your progressive jackpot/feature tracker. You'll see a meter, likely on the side of the screen, with segments for Medusa and Poseidon.
How to fill it: You fill this meter by landing the special Medusa and Poseidon symbols on the main reels or via the mini-reels.
The Reward: Once the meter is completely filled, it triggers a major bonus. This is where you can win those 5x, 10x, 30x, or even 100x rewards. This is likely a fixed jackpot or a special bonus round with a massive multiplier on your total bet.
3. The Free Spins ("Power of Love Scatter")
As the description says, the power of love turns into the Scatter symbol. Landing a certain number of these Scatters (usually 3 or more) will trigger the Free Spins mode.
During free spins, the mini-reels and the Love Meter feature are often more frequent or enhanced, giving you the best chance to fill that meter and hit the 100x reward.
My Quick Strategy Takeaways:
The Mini-Reels are Key: The real potential lies in these. A successful mini-reel activation can completely turn a dead spin into a huge win by dropping Scatters or high-value symbols.
Play for the Meter: While base game wins are possible, the primary goal is to fill that Love Meter. Every Medusa or Poseidon symbol that lands is progress toward a potentially massive payout.
Patience is a Virtue: This feels like a medium-to-high volatility game. You might not see the meter fill up often, but when it does, it's designed to be significant.
In short, this isn't just a "spin and hope" slot. It's about triggering the mini-reels to manipulate your main game and strategically filling that meter for a big payoff. The theme and mechanics are beautifully intertwined.
Has anyone else triggered the full Love Meter yet? What was the payout like?
Happy spinning, and may the Gods (of RNG) be in your favor
