This was a hard game to explain so I appreciate any comments on places where the rules are unclear. Suggestions and corrections are more than welcome too.
Here is a direct link to play the game in fun mode.
The question for the poll is would you play Medusa's Gaze?
Quote: DiscreteMaths2As far as I can tell the blocks don't change colors between spins so it is a faithful representation of the board of what you can see. Based on this information I believe you could actually calculate favorable board states. But considering this will probably only ever be an online game it doesn't matter as the initial state can be setup to always be favorable to the house.
The colors randomize at the start of each game. You can see the rings spinning around and ending up in what looks like random tiles. So I don't see any way to gain an edge in the game.

Yes you are correct. I was getting some lucky repeating patterns that made that seem so but after playing it a little longer its clear that they are indeed randomized.
Quote: DiscreteMaths2I find this slot setup more visually appealing than that basket weave style some members on here were positive about, as far as alternative reel setups are concerned.
One can be more experimental with online games. In a real casino a machine takes up space and there is an opportunity cost in putting anything on the floor, as it replaces some other money-making game that used to be there.
Furthermore, the market seems to punish off-the-wall slot games. I recall one based on Othello that was just 64 black or white chips and the player got paid if there was a clump of the same color more than x chips big. What few games I've seen, I never saw anybody play it. I still say the basket weave slot would be good for a bonus but I don't see players accepting a game where every spin does that.

I loved Othello. That's LED Gaming again; they do fun and innovative stuff. They had another one based on playing checkers. Their better sellers included Multi Strike Poker and Wild Gems, a symbol dropping game that I still play wherever I can find it.
They have more than a dozen demo games on their website. Used to be my favorite place to go play random games just because they were so unusual. Thanks for reminding me.

Some mathematician must have had a great time figuring out the combinations of payouts and number of colors and tiles that would make this an acceptably profitable game. But its just a dazzling slot machine that requires no decisions by the player - except when to walk away. I felt like a ploppy when I played it so I walked away.
