Thunderkick has released a new slot, Midas Golden Touch, which was released at the same time as another Greek-themed slot Ancient Fortunes: Zeus. This is yet another addition to online slots that are based in ancient cultures, much like the popular Ancient Egypt slots.
When we hear Midas, our imagination pictures a scene from ancient Greek mythology. The story tells us about King Midas, who ruled the ancient kingdom of Phrygia. That king was crazy about luxury and gold. One day, the king thought of an idea, whereas everything touched by him would become gold. It worked! Initially, he liked it, but when his daughter became a golden statue after he hugged her, he pleaded with the gods to fix it.
You’re welcome to try out Thunderkick’s approach to the legend of Midas.
Here, we see a regular, 3-row, 5-reel set. The slot comes with a so-called Wild Multiplier feature, capable of ramping up your payouts by 32x. Combine that with the Sticky Respin feature, and you can get a mind-blowing amount of 10 100 times your bet.
You can conveniently play this slot on both your mobile and desktop.
Graphics and Visuals
As for the graphics in Midas Golden Touch, it’s stunning. However, we couldn’t expect anything worse given Thunderkick’s staff, in particular, skilled designers.
Built around a Greek temple, the reels are surrounded by red banners and stone pillars. The landscape creates rather a relaxing atmosphere of Ancient Greece.
Game Mechanics
- Reels (rows) 5(3)
- Paylines 15
- RTP 96.1%
- Max.win (coins) 1 010 000 coins
- Variance Med-high
Here, the reels are dominated by 10, 9, Q, J, A, and K royals incrusted with gems. Among more rewarding, we should mention goblets, crowns, and chests. As you might have already guessed, King Midas is the most rewarding symbol – 5 falling on a payline will bring you x75 your bet.
An image of the king’s magical hands stands for the wild, substituting the scatter. In fact, five of them are equal to the top symbol.
Wild Multiplier feature
The slot offers a Wild Multiplier feature. Any payline with one or several wild symbols has a multiplier built around the number of wilds included in the actual payline –1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 wilds within a payline will bring you respectively 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x or 32x. To put that another way, a wild line is x2400 your bet.
You are expected to land 3, 4 or 5 golden gate scatter symbols simultaneously to activate the Free Spins bonus.
Free Spins
During the free spins, you see that the temple has become golden. By the time you see it, you can count on 10, 15 or 20 free spins. While the remainder of the symbols respin, the winning combinations are locked in their positions, and it lasts until no extra winning symbols are locked. Moreover, at the start of every spin, one random wild is put on the reels.
Conclusion
That’s a fairly unsophisticated slot, but you’ll be undoubtedly delighted by the huge x1 010 000 potential win, while the Wild Multiplier enables you to enjoy decent wins at almost every spin, even during the regular game. Despite its not as impressive volatility, it’s still a well-balanced slot. In general, with its witty atmosphere and simplistic nature, the new slot from Thunderkick will enable you to spend a good evening, especially if you’re interested in Greek mythology.
