Midas Golden Touch in detail
Midas Golden Touch is a Thunderkick slot published on 27 March 2019 as an exclusive, then distributed widely in April. The theme draws on the legend of King Midas, whose touch turned everything to gold: gilded symbols, Greek temple columns and a golden door that serves as the scatter. The art direction stays spare, faithful to the studio's approach, with an uncluttered grid and effects reserved for winning moments.
The grid is deliberately compact: 5 reels, 3 rows and 15 paylines. That is a low count by 2019 standards, and the choice is a considered one, because all of this game's value passes through its multipliers rather than through the number of combinations available. Stakes run from €0.10 to €100 a spin. The RTP quoted by Thunderkick is 96.1% and maximum exposure is set at 10,100 times the stake. The studio rates the title high volatility.
The central mechanic is the multiplier wild, represented by the hand of Midas. Any winning line containing at least one wild receives a multiplier that depends on how many wilds sit on that line, following a geometric progression: one wild is worth x2, two wilds x4, three wilds x8, four wilds x16 and five wilds x32. It is that ladder, and not the structure of the grid, that builds the 10,100x ceiling.
The golden door acts as the scatter. Three, four or five doors landing on the same spin open the free spins phase and award 10, 15 or 20 spins respectively. The scatter can appear anywhere on the grid, with no reel or position constraint attached to it.
That phase changes two things. First, a random wild lands on reel 2, 3 or 4 on every free spin, which sharply raises the chance that a winning line carries at least one multiplier. Second, that guaranteed presence makes it easier to trigger the sticky respins, the phase's second feature, where the symbols concerned are held in place while the others are respun.
A respin can also bring back three scatters: when it does, 10 fresh free spins are awarded, and the studio states that a total of 30 spins remains achievable within a single sequence.
Midas Golden Touch has no bonus buy in its original version. Thunderkick has since published several variants of the title with different characteristics, so the build you load at one casino will not always match the build at another. Everything on this page describes the 2019 release. The game is HTML5 and behaves identically on desktop, tablet and phone, with no separate mobile version and no feature withheld on the smaller screen.
