Join the ancient Greek monarch who turned everything he touched into gold in Midas Golden Touch. This 5 reel, 15 payline video slot has been created by Thunderkick and comes with the developer’s usual lush design and some exciting extras. They include wild multipliers that can boost payouts by between 2x and 32x and a free spins round complete with streak re-spins. Play this medium to high variance game on all devices from between 10p and £100 per spin.
Quality visuals usually feature in Thunderkick video slots and that’s definitely true of Midas Golden Touch which looks terrific. Flanked by the marble pillars of Midas’s palace the reels feature A to 9 royal values alongside a treasure chest, a chalice and a crown. The most lucrative standard symbol is the bearded monarch Midas. Land 3, 4 or 5 of these in combination and you’ll receive a payout of 10, 20 or 75 times your bet.
The king’s hands, turning an object into gold, is the wild symbol. This can land anywhere on the reels and replace everything bar the scatter. The wild also has some magical properties. When it forms part of a winner, the payout receive a multiplier boost. The more wilds, the bigger that boost.
- 1 wild = 2x
- 2 wilds = 4x
- 3 wilds = 8x
- 4 wilds = 16x
- 5 wilds = 32x
The Bonus Game feature is activated by landing 3, 4 or 5 scatters on the same spin – your reward is 10, 15 or 20 free spins. Each winner that hits during the feature triggers the Sticky Respin feature. The winning symbols are held and the rest of the reels spin again. These respins keep on coming as long as a new matching symbol or wilds adds to the original winning combination.
Also boosting your winning chances during this round is a wild which is placed randomly on reels 2, 3 or 4 at the start of each free spin. Wins with a wild also benefit from multipliers up to 32x (as in the base game). Finally, landing 3 or more scatters results in 10 more free spins.
Thunderkick has created another winner in Midas Golden Touch. The lush visuals are superbly done and there’s a cracking variety of extras on offer from the gameplay. It’s volatile enough to keep things interesting too. The variance is in the medium to high range with top wins of 10,100 times your bet on every spin/free spin.
There’s already a huge variety of similarly themed video slots available. If they’re good enough, a new addition is always welcome. That’s certainly the case with the excellent Midas Golden Touch. If you enjoy the classical era theme, then Midas Golden Touch is another Thunderkick must play. Another game that features Poseidon and offers big wins is Play ‘N Go’s Rise of Olympus.
