Yggdrasil, the leading worldwide publisher of online gambling content, is inviting players to the lair of the seductive and dangerous Medusa where large treasures await in its latest YG Masters hit from Hot Rise Games, delivered in partnership with ReelPlay.

Medusa Hot 1 provides varied and highly potent gameplay, packaged in an attractive modern version of the proven Greek mythology theme with the snake-haired beauty taking centre stage.

All focus is on the bonus symbol, which can trigger three different Respin features as well as the game’s Free Spin mode, while providing additional spins and sticky symbols.

During the Free Spins, Medusa will face down a horde of increasingly valuable challengers; as she turns them to stone and dust the intensity of the game amps up in line with the increased win potential. The final Free Spin is the Hot 1, where the Gorgon herself appears as a x2 Wild.

Medusa Hot 1 is the second launch from ReelPlay’s partner studio Hot Rise Games through the YG Masters program. The initiative has gained significant momentum over the last 12 months with an abundance of innovative and exciting games released.

The game is powered by GATI, Yggdrasil’s state-of-the-art technology which enables partners to employ the preconfigured, regulation-ready, standardised development toolkit to produce consistently cutting-edge content followed by rapid distribution.

Stuart McCarthy, Head of Product and Programs at Yggdrasil, said: “This latest addition to the YG Masters portfolio offers a fresh take on the proven Greek mythology theme.

“With thrilling features, high win potential and eye-catching tall symbols Medusa Hot 1 fits perfectly into the YG Masters offering which was introduced to deliver unique and innovative content from independent studios.”

David Johnson, CEO at ReelPlay, said: “The latest in Hot Rise Games’ Hot 1 series, Medusa Hot 1 provides an intense, high volatility engine packaged with a proven theme and accompanying art and soundscape.

“The Hot 1 series of games offer incredible excitement at the peak of the bonus games with huge win potential and are infinitely re-playable.”
