ABOUT
The Hand of Midas is a Greek-themed game featuring not the Pantheon of Ancient Gods but a king cursed by them - Midas. In this wonderfully-made game, players get to experience the myth of the mighty king himself first hand and collect his massive treasure of 5,000x the bet.
Betting Options and Bonus Features
By all accounts, the 5x3 grid with 20 paylines is situated at the bottom of the river Pactolus, where Dionysus, the Gods of Wine, told Midas to go wash off the golden-touch curse. In this game, some of the highest paying symbols include the treasure chests, Dionysus and Midas, whose payouts range anywhere from 5x to 20x the bet for a 5-of-a-kind.
The Hand of Midas is rated highly on Pragmatic Play’s volatility scale, holding a firm grip on the 5/ score. However, there is good news for treasure hunters out there, as the RTP of the game is rather high at 96.54%. Ultimately, players should focus on winning the final prize, which stands at a massive 5,000x the stake.
Hitting the Wilds in this game is the first step to victory! Landing a wild anywhere in reels 2, 3, and 4 adds a random multiplier, from 1x, 2x, or 3x, to your total winning. If more than one wild lands in the same spin, they combine their random multipliers for a bigger boost.
Landing at least 3 Midas hand scatters anywhere on the grid jumps start the bonus round. Aside from that, there is also a cash reward according to how many scatters you land simultaneously. For 3, 4, and 5 scatters, you will receive 10x, 20x, and 30x the bet respectively. The number of free spins you get to enjoy is randomly decided by the turning wheels, each of which awards 1, 2, or 3 spins. The most you can get is 45 free spin if you manage to land 5 Scatters.
Finally, any wilds that land on the bonus round become Sticky Wilds. Their functions stay the same with the difference being that they can only stand still or increase and that they don’t reset during free spin rounds.
Roshtein Take
My favorite thing about this game is how generous it is with free spins and sticky wilds, not to mention random multipliers. The combination of these special features allows players to build and experience spectacular gaming sessions. The Bonus Buy option is a great addition for those moments when I feel like jumping into the action immediately. The Hand of Midas is slot with great design and nicely envisioned gameplay that can produce high winnings.
