Curse of Medusa

The catalogue centres on 96.08% across 8,986 games, and Curse of Medusa reads a hair under it at 95.98% — close enough to call average. What stands out instead is the grid: 117,649 ways on a 6x7 Maxways layout, from a studio, Red Papaya, that we hold only six games from.

The 95.98% line

One reading only carries the 95.98%, and a second source hasn't lined up, so treat it as provisional. The 96.08% midpoint of our 8,986 games sits just 0.1 above it, which puts this on the average line rather than off it. The top payout tells a bolder story — the max win is listed at 18,000× the stake, one of the taller ceilings we record.

Who it fits

An 18,000× ceiling on a near-average return points toward high variance, though no volatility grade is on our file to confirm it. It suits players chasing a large top multiplier over steady, frequent payback, and less so anyone who wants small wins to land often. Reach rows are sparse: Austria 34th on four books, Switzerland 134th, then Finland 186th across 43 operators, with New Zealand 30th.

The 117,649-way grid

This is a Maxways build, not Megaways — 117,649 ways spread over a 6x7 grid, six reels deep. No bonus buy appears on the panel and nothing cascades on our data. Red Papaya is a small studio with just six catalogued titles, and Curse of Medusa, released 10 December 2025, is one of them.

Behind the 95.98% return sits about 4.02% as the standing margin over time — decide a budget before you start. 18+.
