Midas Golden Touch (Thunderkick) – Review & Demo Play

Midas Golden Touch - Slot Overview

Midas Golden Touch is Thunderkick’s 2019 take on the King Midas legend, set on a 5x3 grid with 15 paylines. I rate it for its straight, multiplier-led gameplay. Wild hands substitute and apply a ladder of multipliers up to 32x when several land in the same payline. The feature is a classic free spins round with sticky re-spins on every win, so lines can grow between spins. Volatility sits in the medium to high band, and the game is capable of 10,100x stake hits.

Midas Golden Touch RTP, variance & technical data

The RTP is 96.1%, which is bang on the long-term figure I look for in Thunderkick’s older catalogue. Bets range from 10p to £100 per spin, with 15 fixed lines paying left to right. On balance, streaks do happen, yet the maths lets single-line hits carry serious weight once multipliers come into play. I tend to keep stakes steady through lulls, then let the multipliers and sticky re-spins do the heavy lifting when the game wakes up.

There’s no local or progressive jackpot bolted on, though the ceiling is solid. You’re playing for up to 10,100x total bet, and that peak is realistic for a medium to high variance model with multipliers baked into paylines. Hit potential exists in both phases. In practice, I’ve seen chunky returns from base game lines that stack two or three wilds, while the feature’s respins can push five-of-a-kind premiums across several lines without touching your free spins counter.

Symbols and Paytable in Midas Golden Touch

Line wins land from the leftmost reel, with 3 to 5 matching symbols on one of the 15 lines. Lows are 9 to A and pay 5x to 7.5x stake for five-of-a-kind. Premiums are the treasure chest, goblet, necklace, and King Midas. Five chests pay 15x, goblets 20x, necklaces 25x, and a full line of Midas pays 75x. The golden hand is the wild and substitutes for all pays, while the temple gate is the scatter that starts the feature.

Wilds carry multipliers whenever they form part of a payline win. One wild doubles the line, two give 4x, then 8x, 16x, and a hefty 32x if five wilds run through the same line. A full line of wilds pays like Midas as well. Scatters do their main job as triggers rather than payers, so I treat them as tickets into the bonus. The paytable is clean and front-loaded, which keeps the focus on stacking multipliers rather than chasing gimmicks.

Midas Golden Touch bonus features

The base game’s headline mechanic is the multiplier wild. Wins that include one or more wild hands get multiplied according to how many wilds sit on that payline, up to 32x. There are no extra base modifiers cluttering the flow, which I like. It means I’m always rooting for those hands to land in the right spots on reels two to five, then watching lines light up when two or three connect across premiums. That simplicity still carries real punch.

Midas Golden Touch free spins

Three, four, or five temple gate scatters award 10, 15, or 20 free spins. The backdrop turns to pure gold, and a random wild is dropped on reel two, three, or four at the start of every free spin. That wild isn’t sticky, yet it does a fine job of getting lines started. With the multiplier ladder always active, even a single well-placed hand can push a modest hit into something that matters, especially on premium lines.

Every win in the bonus triggers sticky re-spins. Winning symbols lock, non-winners re-spin, and the sequence keeps rolling while your lines improve or fresh lines form. It feels like a streak feature spliced into free spins, which gives you a shot at stretching basic three-of-a-kind starters into full five-of-a-kind screens. The best moments come when locked premiums link with new wilds, because the line value rises and the multiplier applies again, and again, across the growing clusters.

Retriggers are on the table. Landing three scatters during a re-spin batch adds 10 extra free spins, with totals up to 30 possible. I’ve had sessions where the meter topped up mid-streak, giving fresh attempts without draining the remaining spin count. Combine that with the 2x to 32x ladder and you’ve got a clean route to headline wins. It’s not a guarantee, but the structure gives the feature real staying power when the reels decide to cooperate.

Midas Golden Touch mobile & tablet

Thunderkick’s engine runs smoothly on mobile and tablet. I’ve spun this on Android and iOS, and the 5x3 layout with 15 fixed lines fits smaller screens without crowding. Touch response is sharp, and the sticky re-spin sequences remain easy to follow as symbols lock and the rest re-roll. Bet steps are straightforward from 10p to £100, so it suits both cautious sessions on the go and braver shots when a balance has grown. Performance has been rock solid.

Midas Golden Touch verdict

I rate Midas Golden Touch for its clarity. The game tells you exactly what matters, wild multipliers and sticky re-spins. The base game can be quiet, yet single lines with two or three hands still deliver sharp bursts. When the bonus drops, the random wild and streaking locks give you a shot at shaped, repeatable growth rather than one-and-done hits. It scratches that multiplier itch without piling on noise, which is why I still come back to it.

RTP at 96.1% is fair, volatility sits in that medium to high pocket, and the max of 10,100x is more than enough for a classic 5x3. If you like structured, multiplier-driven play with a sticky streak inside the feature, this slot does the job. I tend to set a stake I’m happy to hold, hunt the feature, and let the respins carry the heavy load. When it clicks, the gold feeling is very real.
