The Hand of Midas

Here is a description of the game The Hand of Midas by Pragmatic Play: The Hand of Midas is a classic 5×3 video slot with 20 fixed paylines. The theme is inspired by the Greek legend of King Midas, featuring an ancient temple, golden pillars, and symbols related to mythology, such as creatures or precious objects. In the base game, wild symbols can only appear on reels 2, 3, and 4, and each of these wilds carries a random multiplier of ×1, ×2, or ×3 that adds to the total win of the spin.

The scatter symbol is represented by the Hand of Midas. Three, four, or five scatters activate the Free Spins feature. Before the Free Spins begin, each scatter triggers a mini-reel that awards one to three spins, allowing for a variable total of free spins depending on the number of scatters obtained. During the Free Spins, all wilds that appear become "sticky" (remain in place until the end of the bonus) and contribute to increasing an overall win multiplier, with values of ×1, ×2, or ×3, which does not reset between spins.

The game also offers a guaranteed minimum win system during the Free Spins: 10× the bet for three scatters, 20× for four, and 30× for five. If the total wins from the Free Spins are below the floor, the bonus automatically restarts with additional spins until this minimum is reached. The Hand of Midas offers a Bonus Buy option allowing players to directly purchase the triggering of the Free Spins bonus, with associated costs depending on the number of guaranteed scatters. There is also an Ante Bet option, which increases the cost of the spin but improves the frequency of scatter appearances.

This game is therefore heavily focused on free spins with sticky wilds and progressive multipliers, making it demanding but potentially rewarding for volatility enthusiasts.
