Midas Coins

Midas Coins is a new release by leading Swedish game developer, Quickspin. For those of you unfamiliar with this supplier, expect incredible and over-the-top graphics that are remarkable. And the same can be said of this latest slot game based on the classic tale of King Midas.

King Midas, as the legend goes, could turn anything he touched into gold, including his daughter. Quickspin opens the game with the blurb, ‘Slightly annoying for him perhaps, but great for you’, which rightly so, you’ll be banking on this poor legend’s bad fortune.

Loading up this slot game reveals a 5-reel setup with 25 paylines set against a sunny ancient Greek backdrop with columns and light stone buildings. You can see Quickspin’s designers’ talent shine through here.

With an RTP of 96.02%, it plays it safe, without going over or under the industry average standard, but it does come with medium volatility, which is a tad risqué to your bankroll.

However, before we crack on, the usual standard cards act as the lowest value, while the pendant, the ring and the bracelet are the highest paying icons in this game.

Midas Coins jackpots

Midas Coins does not come with any jackpots attached.

Midas Coins free spins

The Satyr scatter which can drop onto reels 1, 3 and 5 only can trigger the All is Golden free spins bonus round. You would need three of these symbols in order to earn yourself 12 free spins.

All your winnings are collected on the left-hand side of the reels, starting off with a 3x your wager value. The pile keeps on accumulating each time a King Midas collector symbol lands on reel 5.

You also have the chance to earn an additional 1, 2 or 5 extra free spins if you land between one and three Satyr scatters during this round. If you are feeling impatient, you also have the option to buy the bonus round at any point, though that will set you back 50x your wager.

Midas Coins bonus features

The reel setup might look compact on your screen, but this game is jam-packed with nice touches that add to the overall gaming experience. These include:

Marigold Wild

Midas’ daughter, who was turned into gold by her own father, acts as a wild symbol in this slot game. The Wild has the same value as the highest value necklace, earning you 32x your wager for 5 on a payline.

Like all wilds, it will also step in to substitute for all regular symbols in a bid to create a winning combination.

Midas Coins

Midas coins are nothing to scoff at, providing you between 1x and 500x your wager, when you land on reels 1 to 4. You would require King Midas to land on reel 5 in order to collect any cash coins available on the other 4 reels.

Free Spins bonus round

Land three Satyr scatters anywhere on the reels to activate the All is Golden Free Spins bonus round. You earn yourself 12 free spins, with the option of retriggering an additional one to five extra rounds.

Bonus Buy

You can buy your way into the All is Golden Free Spins bonus round, by paying 50x your wager. It works the same way should you have landed 3 Satyr scatters. You also have the option of triggering additional spins. However, please note that this feature is not available in all markets.

Midas Coins RTP

Midas Coins, like most Quickspin games, has a medium to high volatility. You won’t receive wins on a frequent basis, but when you do, they are quite substantial in size.

The game comes with an average RTP rate of 96.02%.

Verdict

Quickspin is one of those game providers that goes out of its way to create a unique storyline when it comes to its online slots. It also has a great Design team that puts its talents into good use.

This slot game comes with features that impress and somehow stick to the general storyline. The fact that you can collect cash coins during the base game, is also a novel way to boost your winnings as they won’t block any regular wins, but add to them.

Watching your stack of cash coins grow during the free spins round is also a guaranteed crowd-puller and will add thrill as well as tension to the gameplay. The soundtrack to this game does nothing to quench your heart palpitations.

If you are not a fan of the coin collector idea, you might not like this game. Though how many players would hate this concept would have us astounded.

Every other player who wants to play games packed with features should definitely give this game a go!
