The Hand of Midas

The Hand of Midas

The Hand of Midas from Pragmatic Play is an exciting take on the legendary king. This slot takes the theme of turning everything to gold to the next level through the fun graphics and mystical soundtrack. The slot itself has 5 reels with 20 fixed paylines in place. Unlike some of the studio's other slots, there's no specific game mechanic in play here. The game caters to a range of players too, with a bet range from 20p to £100 for each spin. There's a 5000x initial stake as a maximum payout. Finally, the slot has an RTP of 96.54% sliding it just above average.

What The Hand of Midas is all about

The Hand of Midas slot is full of exciting Greek mythology references, particularly when it comes to the symbols. There are a number of high paying icons and these include Midas, a gold princess, the Greek god of win, treasure chests, wine goblets and more. The low paying icons are the simple card playing values, but with a Greek twist to their design. What helps this slot along though, are the various different game features available. In fact, there are four specific bonuses and these include wilds, scatters and even some multipliers for bigger payouts. The game can also be played on a range of devices as it's HTML5 compatible. As such, players can enjoy this while at home on their computer.

Wild Multiplier Feature

As is the case in many slot games, the wilds are central to the bonus features. The Wild, represented by a large golden 'W', substitutes for all other symbols with the exception of the scatter. In so doing, it helps to make more winning combinations on the reels. However, it only lands on the central three reels during the game. What's even more important is keeping an eye out for the Wild Multiplier feature. When the wild lands, there will be a multiplier added and this can be 1x, 2x or even 3x the total win for that spin. If there are more than one multiplier wilds on the reels, all the possible multipliers are added together and applied to the win.

Bonus Spins

Everything he touches turns to gold and this is the case when it comes to the The Hand of Midas scatter. The scatter is represented by a hand and landing three of them triggers the bonus spins feature. For each scatter that activates the feature, there are three mini reels appearing, each containing 1, 2 or 3 spins. These will all spin automatically and then show the number of bonus spins that have been awarded. The more scatters that have been landed on the reels, the greater the number of starting bonus spins. Overall, when landing five scatters, there's a possibility of landing as many as 45 bonus spins. Landing three scatters offers a minimum of 9. Similar to the Wild Multipliers, the spins start with a 1x multiplier which then increases during the feature.

Buy Bonus Spins and Ante Bet Features

As the bonus spins can be a little hard to trigger, there is the option to Buy bonus spins within The Hand of Midas online slot game. There are three options for buying these. Choosing to have 3 scatters costs 100x the stake, 4 scatters is 200x and 5 scatters costs 300x the total stake. The feature will then run in the same way as the regular bonus spins. The final feature is the Ante Bet feature. Here the stake is increased by 25% but then the chance of triggering the bonus spins during the game is doubled which means that more scatters are being landed on the reels during the game.

The Hand of Midas Summary

The Hand of Midas slot from Pragmatic Play has a lot of fun features available which work well alongside the stunning visuals found on this slot. The wilds, as always, are key here in turning these spins into gold. They feature throughout all the in-game bonus options. Landing the sticky wilds with the increasing multipliers during the bonus spins round is the best chance to get the bigger wins. It's here that the 5000x max win usually lands. Other things that stand this slot in good stead include the fact that it's got a relatively low betting range making it perfect for all players. The slot is also fully mobile compatible, being developed using HTML5 technology.
