Another Greek themed video slot titled Midas Golden Touch was rolled out by Thunderkick in April 2019. At the centre of attention is the mythical King Midas, best known for his greed. For those not so familiar with Greek mythology, Midas spent most of his time admiring his treasure, wishing that everything he sets his hands on turns to gold.

The cost of getting his wish granted was too high though, for when he reached out to hug his daughter she instantly became a statue made of gold.

The pain of the curse must have driven him mad, and this is probably what we see in Thunderkick’s slot, since the King ferociously tries to turn as many icons as possible into gold. You will benefit from Wild Multipliers and a Sticky Respin Feature occurring during Free Spins.

Developer

Founded in Sweden in 2012, Thunderkick initially started off well with games becoming increasingly popular due to their distinctive content which was always enriched with novelties. Though they are not as famous as some of the other developers that have been in business longer, they never stop trying to keep up the pace.

Their motto is to maintain simplicity while choosing some unique topics and retaining the high-quality design. Despite the fact that they have a modest portfolio, they strive to make games that are profitable and entertaining. Some of the best Thunderkick releases boasting unusual themes are Yeti Battle of Greenhat Peak, Wild Heist at Peacock Manor, Full Moon Romance, The Rift, and many others.

How to Play it

Midas Golden Touch has a standard 5×3 playing field configured to 15 fixed paylines, which means that you won’t have the opportunity to alter the number of active ones. You can set the total bet between $0.10 and $100 per spin, a range that will satisfy gamblers of various preferences. To start and stop the game press Spin and as soon as icons appear on consecutive reels on a payline, beginning with the leftmost position, payouts will be awarded. Clicking on the Autoplay button will open a menu where you can select to turn on up to 5000 automatic rounds. The only other thing to opt for is whether the session will stop once a feature is triggered.

We are used to Thunderkick’s skillful designers creating top-notch games. This slot is certainly not an exception. The reels are placed within an ancient Greek temple, which turns into glistening gold once the Free Spins Round begins. Symbols populating the reels have been meticulously designed to emanate the air of luxury and wealth. There are necklaces, chalices and chests filled with gold that add to the overall impression of abundance.

Special Features

With at least 3 Scatters landing anywhere on the grid, the Free Spins Game will be activated awarding up to 20 freebies. The Sticky Respin Feature will be triggered by any win which then remains locked while other symbols spin again. This will continue for as long as there are new icons contributing to wins. What’s more, before every spin, a Random Wild will be put on the grid to boost your chances of wins.

Midas’ magical hands stand for Wild which will substitute all symbols but Scatter when completing wins. This is only the beginning, for every winline that includes Wild will obtain a multiplier. The number of Wilds on a payline will determine the amount of the Multiplier. Landing 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 Wilds will correspondingly reward you with 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x and 32x, meaning that a single Wild line grants an exceptional 2,400x your stake.

Maximum Payouts

The highest payout gamblers could be looking at on a single spin is set at 10,100x the total bet, mostly owing to the Wild Multiplier. The RTP for Midas Golden Touch is 96.1%, which is the company’s average.

Summary

Though this is a medium to high volatility slot, expect a balanced gameplay, achieved with the Wild Multiplier in the base game. The truly important payouts will start landing once you enter the Free Spins Round where Sticky Respins help increase the winning potential significantly. We suggest you try out this straightforward game with exceptional visuals and compelling features.
