Through the YG Masters program, Yggdrasil manages to release a brand new title each week. This week, we’re honoured with the release of Medusa Hot 1, a product by Hot Rise Games and ReelPlay.
The latest YG Masters hit was actually delivered by Hot Rise Games, in partnership with ReelPlay, the studio in Yggdrasil’s program that has already delivered quite successful titles itself. Now, we’ll see the dangerous snake-haired Medusa protecting her lair and large treasures, inviting you to try and find them.
Medusa Hot 1 Launched Across Yggdrasil-Powered Casinos
Yggdrasil Gaming, the leading online gambling content provider, has managed to launch another yet brand-new slot, this time developed by Hot Rise Games in collaboration with ReelPlay. You know that ReelPlay is a YG Masters partner, so, naturally, this is a YG Masters title, which invites all players to face the deadly gorgon Medusa in the search for her hidden treasures.
The slot itself is a highly volatile one, offering an attractive and modern version of the Greek fatal snake-haired beauty, focused around the bonus symbol.
This special symbol can trigger the game’s Free Spins bonus round, of course, but also three different Respin features while providing additional modifiers, like extra Spins and Sticky symbols on the reels.

During the Free Spins, you’ll see Medusa confronting her challengers and turning them to stone, boosting the game’s win potential. During the final spin, Medusa herself will appear as a Wild 2x, and this spin is called Hot 1. The slot can, overall, deliver prizes of more than 5,700x the stake, so make sure you give it a try the first chance you get!
The Developers’ Statements
David Johnson, ReelPlay’s CEO said that Medusa Hot 1 was the latest title to join the Hot Rise Games’ Hot 1 series. According to Johnson, it provided players with an intense and highly volatile machine, packaged with a proven player-favourite theme and exceptional art and sounds. The Hot 1 series, he added, offered incredible thrill at the peak of the bonus game, and the titles were infinitely re-playable and providing players with a huge win potential.
Yggdrasil’s Head of Product and Programs, Stuart McCarthy, said that Medusa Hot 1, the latest YG Masters addition, offered a fresh take on the already popular Greek mythology theme. McCarthy explained that with its huge win potential, exciting features and eye-catching symbols, the title fitted into the YG Masters offering perfectly, which was a program designed to deliver innovative, unique and frequent content from independent studios, like ReelPlay.
