Midas Magic

Everyone who has seen the title of the game we’re checking out today will know that Midas is a king, and everything he touched turned to gold. And, when you think about it, that’s precisely what players will want to happen when they’re spinning the five reels of this release from Infinity Dragon Studios on behalf of Games Global, formerly Microgaming.

The set-up of Midas Magic as a slot game can be described as the industry standard, as there are ten paylines spread across five reels, but that shouldn't put anyone off as it's a well-designed game, which runs true to the Midas theme, and there's a lot to like, such as there being several possible fixed jackpots up for grabs.

Everyone wants a shot at having the Midas touch, which is why the betting range sees spins start at 0.10 in this one, with a maximum stake of 20.00 available. There's also a fair potential top prize up for grabs from spinning the reels, 12,500x the stake, and the jackpots are potentially in the mix as well.

When you’ve got such a strong theme as the story of King Midas, it makes perfect sense that the design, in terms of the backdrop and the symbols that appear on the reels, fit in with that. And Infinity Dragon Studios’ decision to take things in a cartoon-like direction is also pleasing, as this style makes things more fun, right?

Playing card symbols can often be negative for some players because, ideally, they just want to see theme-related symbols, but because this is King Midas-related and because they’re well designed in terms of the artwork and font, they fit here. And there are still icons relating to the theme, which pay more, such as Midas himself, a helmet, a harp and more.

There’s a wild symbol in Midas Magic, represented by a W, and while it takes on the role of substituting for other regular icons, it can also pay itself up to 20x for a winning combination.

If players look to the top of the game area, there’s a special reel with perks such as multipliers, features and fixed jackpots attached. This reel is active in the base game for the central three reels or all reels during the free spins bonus round. Three Link & Win symbols are needed to trigger one of the perks from the special reel.

Six to fourteen Link & Win symbols will open the door for three respins, and it’s possible to keep resetting the respin counter when more Link & Win icons land. If players get all fifteen symbols, they could get their hands on the Grand Jackpot worth 5,000x the stake. It’s also possible, via Link & Win, to get into the free spins feature, with ten rounds to play through and the potential for wild reels.

Midas Magic is a fun slot with a fun theme courtesy of Infinity Dragon Studios on behalf of Games Global. It’s well designed, and the Link & Win element takes enjoyment to another level as it’s possible to reap different rewards such as bonus features, free spins, multipliers and more.
