Step into the world of an ancient Greek hero and slay monsters for honour and riches on Golden Gorgon slot

Slot game intro

This well-designed slot game takes you back in time and space to the great realm of Greek mythology. The slot game title refers to the mythological creatures the Gorgons. The Gorgons are three sisters of which Medusa is probably the most well-known one, who carry snakes on their head instead of hair. The Golden Gorgon of the slot game title features on top of the grid that is ornamented with columns on either side. The aim of the game is to slay the Gorgon for honour and great riches.

Golden Gorgon Gameplay

The route to victory on Golden Gorgon is straightforward, yet not easy. The slot only has three higher value symbols. These are the sword, the shield, and the soldier’s head. This soldier might be the ancient Greek hero Perseus. He is known as slayer of monsters and according to mythology he beheaded Gorgon Medusa. The soldier symbol is the highest paying one awarding you 20 times your stake for a full grid. The lower value symbols are four different Greek letters edged in stone.

Game Features

Just as the slot has a limited number of symbols, it also has few features. You can slay the Gorgon and claim a top prize with the help of the following features:

Locked Symbols

Whenever you play a winning combination, the winning symbols turn golden and stay in place for the following spin.

Re-spin

You are granted a re-spin every time you play a win. As described above, the winning symbols turn golden and stay in place while the reels spin again. If this results in another win, the winning symbols stay in place once more and you get another re-spin.

Multipliers

You are granted a multiplier applied to your winnings whenever you fill at least two reels with matching symbols. That gives you a multiplier of x2. Three reels with matching symbols grants you a x3 multiplier, four reels x4 and when you manage to fill the entire grid with matching symbols you win a x5 multiplier applied to your winnings.

Verdict

 Golden Gorgon is a well-designed game in terms of graphics and animation, with the popular ancient Greek mythology theme. The Greek letters are a welcome change from the well-known card suits representing the lower- value symbols. On paper this slot has excellent win potential, and its high volatility should attract bigger players with a love for Greek mythology. In practice however, the slot has too few features to make it truly engaging and fulfilling its win potential is seemingly impossible. It’s always interesting to see when a slot doesn’t include slot game staple features such Wild symbols, Scatters and Free spins. On this slot however, they are surely missed, and locked symbols, re-spins and multipliers are just not original enough to make up for this lack. Golden Gorgon might be for Greek mythology slot fans only, who can handle the game’s high volatility.
