One of Greek mythology's most famous stories is that of King Midas’ golden touch, with this legend being the main inspiration behind the Midas Golden Touch slot. Produced in early 2019 by the creative team over at Thunderkick, this release has since spawned a variety of spin-off online slots that built upon this popular first instalment. Coming with respins, sticky wilds and a whole range of mythological imagery, the Midas Golden Touch slot manages to impress in a series of ways whilst capturing the iconic Greek fable.

The most basic of elements in the Midas Golden Touch slot must be broken down first, starting with the main playtable. This has a 5-reel set-up constructed out of marble slabs, each vertical column being able to produce a total of 3 symbols. Across the 15 symbol segments, there is an equal number of paylines, all of which are only able to work from left to right. Aligned across the right-hand side of the screen are all the white play buttons, and above play, the red and gold Midas Golden Touch logo is positioned. 

A white Greek temple acts as the backdrop in the Midas Golden Touch slot, with many marble pillars accented with gold supporting this grand structure. Hanging from the roof are a series of red banners decorated with golden hand prints, an homage to the abilities of Midas. All of this sits in a luscious green landscape, with the entire visual design differing from titles such as Midas Magic and The Hand of Midas slot, inspired by the same Greek myth.

By having golden accents and trims, the card royals taken from live casino games fit the story that inspired the Midas Golden Touch slot. These are only a collection of the base game symbols, as a number of golden trinkets have also been added by Thunderkick to complete the paytable.

The famous Midas touch has also been captured in the form of a symbol too, acting as the main wild in this Midas Golden Touch slot. Thunderkick has chosen to add just one other bonus symbol, a Greek temple like the one seen in the backdrop. This has the main role of being the scatter and has the potential to trigger the main bonus round in play.

Starting the set of bonuses in this Midas Golden Touch off with the Midas touch wild, this is able to land on any of the 5 marble-textured reels that make up the main playgrid. These substitute for all card and golden trinket symbols, an ability which is standard for wilds. However, if multiple of these happen to land across the same payline, these may also come with multipliers. A single Midas touch wild could trigger a 2x multiplier like the wilds seen in The Dog House Multihold, with 2, 3, 4 and 5 across a payline potentially triggering 4x, 8x, 16x and 32x multipliers respectively.

By landing 3, 4 or 5 Greek temple scatters in the same spin of the reels, this could trigger 10, 15 or 20 free spins in this Midas Golden Touch slot. During this bonus round, a sticky respin modifier is introduced to play. If any symbols happen to form a combination on the 5x3 playtable, these will then be backed by a golden tablet before locking in place. After this occurs, all other symbols are respun, and any additional matching symbols landed will trigger the sticky respins mechanic once again.

This is not the only nuance in the Midas Golden Touch free spins round, either. At the beginning of each spin, a Midas touch wild is added to the playgrid in a random position. As well as this, any additional Greek temple scatters landed are collected by a metre. If 3 temples manage to be added to said metre, this could trigger a further 10 free spins.

By building the Midas Golden Touch slot using HTML5 software, this allows this Greek-inspired release to be just as compatible with mobile devices as all other releases at BoyleSports Games. As long as play methods are connected to the internet, the top-notch visuals and dynamic set of bonus mechanics in this title retain their quality across all screen sizes.

All in all, the Midas Golden Touch slot manages to capture the iconic story of the Greek king and his golden touch through the impressive visuals, all while pairing these up with a series of innovative free spin modifiers.

Greek mythology imagery is not only found in the Midas Golden Touch slot but also in many other releases, such as Rise of Olympus and Amazing Link Apollo.
