The Hand of Midas

The Hand of Midas is an online slot game developed by Pragmatic Play that features a 5-reel grid, 3 rows of symbols, and 20 fixed paylines. This game offers a wide variety of bonuses and features, with the top prize reaching up to 5,000x your bet in euros.

The design of The Hand of Midas is captivating. The reels are set in the ancient underworld of King Midas, and a giant stone fist on the right side of the screen displays a win multiplier that comes into play during the free spins.

Players can place bets ranging from €0.20 to €125.00 per spin. The developers of the game note that it has a 5/5 volatility rating, meaning players can expect fewer wins than in lower variance slots. However, when wins occur, they will generally be of a higher value. The RTP (return to player) of The Hand of Midas is 96.54%. This means that for every €100 wagered, an average of €96.54 will be paid out in prizes.

The slot offers two of the most popular bonus mechanics – sticky wilds and multipliers. When a wild symbol lands on the reels, it triggers a random multiplier of 1x, 2x, or 3x, which is displayed on the giant stone fist on the right side of the reels. This multiplier is then applied to all wins formed on that spin, even if not formed using the multiplier itself.

The primary bonus feature of The Hand of Midas is the free spins round, which is triggered by landing 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols. Once triggered, mini slot machines appear on the reels, each awarding a specific number of free spins – between one and three. If you land 5 scatters in the base game and receive three free spins from each mini slot machine, you can start the bonus round with up to 15 free spins.

During the bonus round, each wild symbol that lands on the reels transforms into a sticky wild and remains in place for the duration of the feature. Additionally, every time you land a wild symbol, the multiplier increases by 1x and does not reset between spins. While the free spins bonus round cannot be retriggered by landing additional scatter symbols, the bonus does include a ‘bonus guarantee' of between 10x and 30x your bet, depending on the number of scatters initially triggered.
