Stone Gaze of Medusa 2 Slot Review

Stakelogic clearly wanted Stone Gaze of Medusa 2 to feel mythic, but not cartoonish. The reels sit inside a faded ancient temple, with broken statues and dusty ruins giving off an ominous vibe. Medusa herself stands to the side of the grid—half serpent, half warrior—looking like she is about to strike at any moment.

She hisses, shrieks, and smirks as you spin, adding tension to every round. Visually, the game has stepped up from the original, with sharper animations and more atmospheric detail. The background music is dark and dramatic, laced with Greek-inspired instruments and echoing drums. It is moody without going over the top, which works perfectly for a high-stakes slot like this.

The symbols are all neatly designed and on-theme.

• You will find five coloured gemstones as the low-paying symbols—purple, green, blue, orange, and red—each carved into rough stone to match the game’s title.
• The high-paying symbols are classic Greek artefacts: a dagger, a chalice, a bronze helmet, and a shield. These have a bit more detail, glinting with gold highlights to stand out on the reels.
• Special symbols include the Multiplier Symbol, which shows a golden x-value when it lands, the Power Symbol (which looks like a jagged medallion), and the Scatter, which triggers the Free Spins round.

Here is the payout table of all the symbols:

• Purple Gemstone (Diamond): 8-9x = 0.3x / 10-11x = 0.4x / 12-14x = 0.8x / 15x or more = 2.5x
• Green Gemstone (Square): 8-9x = 0.3x / 10-11x = 0.5x / 12-14x = 1x / 15x or more = 3x
• Blue Gemstone (Teardrop): 8-9x = 0.4x / 10-11x = 0.8x / 12-14x = 1.5x / 15x or more = 4x
• Orange Gemstone (Triangle): 8-9x = 0.5x / 10-11x = 1x / 12-14x = 2x / 15x or more = 5x
• Red Gemstone (Circle): 8-9x = 0.8x / 10-11x = 1.5x / 12-14x = 3x / 15x or more = 7.5x
• Dagger: 8-9x = 1x / 10-11x = 2x / 12-14x = 4x / 15x or more = 10x
• Chalice: 8-9x = 1.5x / 10-11x = 3x / 12-14x = 6x / 15x or more = 15x
• Helmet: 8-9x = 2.5x / 10-11x = 10x / 12-14x = 20x / 15x or more = 50x
• Shield: 8-9x = 5x / 10-11x = 5x / 12-14x = 10x / 15x or more = 25x

The Multiplier Symbols can range from x2 to a huge x1,000. Multiple multipliers on the same spin add together and apply to the total win. Power Symbols remove weak symbols (up to 4-of-a-kind, depending on their tier), improving your odds for stronger cascades. The Scatter Symbol unlocks the free spins—4 scatters give you 10 spins, 5 gives 15, and 6 gives 30.

All things considered, this slot has the presentation and production quality to back up its gameplay. It is immersive, but not bloated with distractions.

Stone Gaze of Medusa 2 might look like a Scatter Pays slot on the surface, but once the special symbols start flying in, the game opens up into something far more layered. Each feature is designed to work with the others—multipliers ramp up your rewards, Power Symbols clear the board for bigger chains, and the bonus round brings it all together with a snowballing win multiplier. If you enjoy volatility, momentum, and feeling like a single spin can completely flip your balance, this is the part of the game you will care about most.

Cascading Reels

Every win triggers a chain reaction. Winning symbols are blasted off the reels, and new ones fall down to replace them. This continues as long as new winning combinations form, meaning a single spin can lead to multiple wins back to back. The more symbols you clear, the more chances you get to land high-value icons, Power Symbols, or even multipliers mid-chain.

Multiplier Symbols

Multiplier Symbols land randomly with values from 2x up to a massive 1,000x. When they appear, their values are added together and applied to the total win from that spin’s full cascade sequence. These symbols are most impactful in the bonus round, but they can show up at any time during base gameplay. 

One 50x is enough to turn a decent spin into a serious payout. Catch two or three multipliers in one go and things can get out of control—in a good way.

Power Symbols

This is where things get tactical. Power Symbols remove weak symbols from the board, giving space for bigger clusters to form. There are three levels of Power Symbols, each more aggressive than the last:

• Level 1: Destroys all 1 and 2-of-a-kind symbols.
• Level 2: Destroys all 1, 2, and 3-of-a-kind symbols.
• Level 3: Destroys all 1, 2, 3, and 4-of-a-kind symbols.

They always activate from the highest level present, so if you are lucky enough to land a Level 3, it clears the board of most low-value clutter. This can help line up much better cascades or even fresh Scatter Symbols needed for the bonus.

Free Spins Bonus

Land 4, 5, or 6 Scatter Symbols anywhere on the reels to trigger 10, 15, or 30 Free Spins, respectively. The game shifts gear here: every Multiplier Symbol that appears adds its value to a global win multiplier that applies to all wins throughout the rest of the feature. This multiplier does not reset between spins.

You can retrigger more spins during the bonus by landing 3 or more Scatter Symbols in a single spin, awarding +5 extra spins. The longer you stay in the round, the more lethal the multiplier becomes. And since the cascades and Power Symbols still apply, the feature has room to deliver genuinely huge payouts—especially if you hit a few large clusters late in the round when the multiplier is already stacked.

Super Stake (Ante Bet)

Turning on the Super Stake increases your bet by 25% and doubles your chances of triggering the Free Spins bonus. If you are the kind of player who likes to chase features rather than wait for them to randomly drop, this setting is worth considering. It does not change the RTP, but it shifts the tempo of the base game in your favour.

Bonus Buy

If you do not want to wait at all, you can just buy your way into the Free Spins feature for 100x your base bet. The number of triggering scatters is random, so while it guarantees you the bonus, it does not guarantee the best version of it.

Stone Gaze of Medusa 2 is the kind of sequel that feels like a patch rather than a reinvention. That is not a bad thing if you liked the first game—but you will need to ask yourself how much you care about a few more symbols per reel and a slightly beefed-up Power Symbol.

It still looks sharp, plays smoothly, and delivers that satisfying mix of cascading wins and high-stakes multipliers. The Free Spins round with the progressive multiplier is where the game really finds its teeth, and the build-up to that can be tense in a good way.

But once you have seen it all a few times, the lack of true innovation starts to show. You get a Scatter Pays slot with solid volatility, polished presentation, and big win potential ... but you also get the nagging feeling that this could have gone further. The base is strong. It always was. It just needed a bit more punch in the sequel.
