Turn To Stone Re-Spins Feature

According to Greek Mythology, when Medusa gazed upon someone, they would fall under her spell and she would turned them into stone. She had become as venemous as her appearance.

Wins during the free spins are multiplied by two but if you see a Soldier expanding on the reels, you will be lifted into the Super Spins mode where your wins are multiplied by 5! It is possible to re-trigger the 10 free spins in the Once Bitten Bonus.

Pegasus Bonus Feature

The Pegasus feature is launched when three Pegasus symbols land on the reel. This feature sets up a pick ’em style bonus where you are to pick a Pegasus to reveal your cash prize winnings.
