Released in June 2017 by Rival Gaming, this slot reimagines the ancient cautionary tale of King Midas. Played on a classic reel layout, the game does not offer a lot of new features, but is enough for those who are looking for a classic slot experience.
Theme
The famous King Midas was remembered throughout Greek Mythology for his ability to turn everything he touches into gold. This ability came to be known as the golden touch or Midas Touch, from which this slot gets its name.
After seeing the advantages of his gift, Midas first turned a rock into gold and after that he ordered his servants to prepare a feast. Seeing how the food turned into gold upon touching, the king cursed his gift and later died of starvation.
Midas turned a lot of items into gold and you can see that in the background of the slot…
…the graphics are decent and the animations are pretty well done.
The game does lack in features, but Rival Gaming did a fine job with the graphics and the theme.
Betting Options and Features
Rival Gaming went with the classic slot layout for Midas Touch, with three reels and three rows.
The highest possible payout in this slot is $10,000!
The coin value is between $0.01 and $5 with up to three coins chosen for each line. You can also choose the number of lines you wish to use. The overall betting range is from $0.01 to $45 and the biggest payout from a single line can be $15.
The game will give you a chance to hit the jackpot if you are using $3 per line instead of $1 or $2. If you bet with $1 or $2 the biggest payout you can hope for is $500 and with a $3 bet and with luck you can get $10,000.
It all comes down to the theoretical RTP when it comes to profitability. It is important to pay mind to the RTP if you choose to go for more than a few spins. The theoretical RTP for this slot is 94,67% which if decent, but slightly below average for a modern slot.
Features
Slots with a classic layout tend to lack in bonus features. That is the case with Midas Touch. However, there is a symbol with the wild attribute attached to it, which will help you score a sizable win.
Landing three slot logos will win you a jackpot and having one or two wilds will help you line up a winning combination, since the wilds act as a substitute.
Again, it is common for classic 3x3 slots to have less features than slots with larger grids but not having bonus features doesn’t mean you won’t win.
Summary
Being a classic 3x3 video slot, this Rival Gaming release does not offer exciting high-paying features. It gives a unique theme and a low volatility gameplay, perfect for those looking for a slot just to have fun and spin away.
