Midas Golden Touch 2 is a slot released by Thunderkick on March 27, 2024 and works as a direct continuation of the successful Midas Golden Touch. This new installment delves into the legend of King Midas, the mythical monarch who could turn everything he touched into gold. Now, it returns with a revamped look and enhanced features, ready to offer twists full of richness and excitement. The game is designed with a structure of 5 reels, 3 rows and 15 fixed paylines, providing a classic experience but with more dynamic mechanics.
The graphic section of Midas Golden Touch 2 stands out for its elegance and refinement. The background shows a lavish palace hall full of golden columns, shiny statues and an atmosphere of luxury and divinity. The entire aesthetic is inspired by Ancient Greece, but with an artistic interpretation loaded with brilliant details, immersive visual effects and subtle animations that add realism to every spin. Symbols include chests, chalices, crowns, and of course, the figure of King Midas himself, who is the highest paying symbol. The music reinforces this mythical setting, with a soundtrack that mixes ethereal strings, celestial sounds, and a tempo that accelerates with each victorious spin or during the activation of special features. This blend of visual and musical design elevates the experience to an almost cinematic category.
One of the central functions of the game is the “Golden Touch Wild”, which acts as a wild symbol substituting for any symbol except the Scatter. When the Wild is part of a winning combination, it triggers a win multiplier that can range from 2x to 32x, depending on how many Wild symbols are present on the line. This mechanic was already present in the original version of the game, but here it is better balanced and can generate even bigger wins.
The free spins feature is activated by getting 3 or more Scatter symbols (represented by a golden hand) anywhere on the reels. When activated, the player receives a certain amount of free spins, where two key features come into play: the Sticky Wins and the re-spins.
During the free spins, any winning combination is locked in place while the rest of the reels re-spin. This continues until no new matches are achieved, in the style of the re-spins of some classics such as “ackpot Jester. In addition, Wilds that appear during free spins can become persistent in their position for the rest of the round, which significantly increases the potential for great combinations.
Midas Golden Touch 2 offers a bonus buy-in feature, ideal for players who don't want to wait for the free spins to trigger naturally. There are several options available, from triggering the basic round to starting with an advantageous configuration of Sticky symbols and active multipliers. New in this version is the addition of special coin symbols (Midas Coins), which can appear randomly and award instant prizes, offering another path to rewards without relying exclusively on free spins. This mechanic adds an extra layer of surprise and variability to each spin. With an RTP of 94.27%.
