The Midas Gold slot game can be found at casinos offering Red Tiger software. Red Tiger is a relatively new software developer in the online gaming market, having only been in operation since 2014. Red Tiger focus primarily on slots games but do offer a few table games, albeit a very limited range of them. In compliance with UK gaming legislation, Red Tiger publish the RTP/House Edge information for their slots games within their pay tables. As such, we can say that the House Edge for Midas Gold is 3.74%.
Midas Gold is a 5 reel slot that is 3 symbols high. The game does not use traditional paylines, instead you form winning combinations of 3 symbols or more across adjacent reels. There are 243 possible combinations in total.
Special Symbols
High Paying Symbol – The highest paying symbol is the “Mrs Midas”.
King Midas – The “King Midas” symbol will trigger the “Midas Touch” feature and does so whenever a “King Midas” symbol lands anywhere on the reels. King Midas picks one of the symbol types on the reels and turns it golden with his touch. Golden symbols are locked into place for a repsin. Any new symbols of the same type picked by King Midas will also turn golden and lock for a new respin. Respins continue until no new golden symbols land. The win is paid when the respins stop.
If King Midas lands on the reels again during a respin, he will pick a new higher value symbol to turn golden and lock. Any existing golden symbols on the reels will swap for the higher value symbol chosen, and will be locked for the respin.
Conclusion
I was hoping for something special when I first saw this game. First of all, the Midas myth is one that offers an amazing opportunity for slots designers and I have seen a few decent cracks at it in the past. In terms of the aesthetic, Red Tiger have done what almost always do and made a game that looks as good as any out there. They have gone for a stylish cartoon look and have hit the nail on the head. However, when it comes to features there just isn’t enough going on here to match how the slot looks. There are no Free Spins and no Wild symbols to speak of. The one feature you do get it the Midas Touch bonus, and to be fair to Red Tiger, it is a good one. With just a few more features this could have been a very good slot indeed. The house edge is offering good value for money, meaning this is a game does just enough for us to recommend it.
