The Hand of Midas is a 5x3, 20-payline Pragmatic Play slot built on the Greek legend of the king whose touch turned everything to gold. Wild symbols build a win multiplier as they land, and in the free spins that multiplier never resets, so it can climb spin after spin. High volatility, 96.54% default RTP, 5,000x cap — free to play here in demo mode.
Game mechanics
On the surface The Hand of Midas is a classic 5x3 slot with 20 fixed paylines, dressed in gold with King Midas, Dionysus and Midas's golden daughter on the reels. The engine underneath is a multiplier that the wild symbols feed: wilds landing in view push the win multiplier upward, so a spin with several wilds pays noticeably more than the paytable alone suggests.
The free spins round is where that engine matters most. Triggered by scatter symbols, it keeps the multiplier from resetting between spins, and sticky wilds can hold their position while it builds. The game runs at 96.54% RTP in its default configuration, sits at the top of Pragmatic Play's volatility scale, and caps wins at 5,000x the stake.
Features
- Multiplier wilds. Wild symbols do more than substitute — as they land they build the win multiplier that boosts your payouts.
- Free spins. Scatter symbols trigger the bonus round, where the multiplier and sticky wilds turn the base-game engine up several notches.
- Non-resetting multiplier. During free spins the win multiplier carries over from spin to spin instead of resetting, so late spins in the round can pay far more than early ones.
- Sticky wilds. In the bonus round wilds can lock in place, staying on the reels to help form wins while the multiplier keeps climbing.
