Midas Golden Touch Christmas Edition (Thunderkick) – Review & Demo Play

The Midas Golden Touch Christmas Edition Slot Game

I’ve returned to Midas Golden Touch Christmas Edition for a seasonal spin on Thunderkick’s 2019 hit. The layout stays 5 reels, 3 rows, and 15 paylines, with the same hard-hitting rhythm. The switch is mostly visual, while the maths keeps the bite that made the original sing. Default RTP sits at 96.17, and there’s a buy option if you fancy skipping straight to the action. It feels familiar, just dressed for winter, which suits me fine.

We’re back in Midas’ temple with marble floors, tall pillars, and a golden frame around the reels. Snow drifts past a blue sky, and Christmas trees flank the set with tasteful decorations. The interface is clean and quick to grasp on mobile and desktop, so getting a session going is hassle free. I liked how the festive layer doesn’t clutter the view or slow the gameplay, and the soundscape adds a soft carol vibe without getting in the way.

Symbols and Payouts in Midas Golden Touch Christmas Edition

The paytable mirrors the earlier game. Low pays are 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A, worth between 5x and 7.5x the bet for five of a kind. High pays are a treasure chest, a chalice, a golden crown, and King Midas, paying 15x to 75x for five. The Wild shows Midas’ hands and substitutes across the board. It shares the same payout as the top Midas symbol when it forms its own line, which gives useful coverage.

Scatter symbols act as the key to the feature, arriving as a temple or gate motif. Lines pay from the leftmost reel, and any line that includes Wilds gets multiplied in a way that defines this slot. One Wild in a line doubles the win, two make it x4, then x8, x16, and up to x32 with five Wilds. That scaling sits at the heart of the game’s punch and works in both base and bonus play.

Midas Golden Touch Christmas Edition Slot Bonus Features

Wild multipliers are live on every spin in Midas Golden Touch Christmas Edition. Any payline that includes one to five Wilds will apply x2, x4, x8, x16, or x32 to the line win. In the base game I’ve had 20x, 50x, and the odd 100x land off the back of decent lines helped by a pair or more of Wilds. Those spikes help bridge the gaps while you chase the main round, which can be a patient grind.

Hit three, four, or five Scatters to get 10, 15, or 20 Free Spins. Any win in the bonus triggers sticky respins, with the winning symbols locked while the rest spin again. Add more matching icons and it repeats until no new ones land. At the start of each free spin, a random Wild drops onto the reels, which pairs neatly with the multiplier ladder. Collect three Scatters during the respins to add another 10 spins to the tally.

If you would rather skip the wait, the Bonus Buy costs 80x your stake and drops you straight into the feature. The buy version runs at 96.43 percent RTP. I’ve used it when the base felt cold and wanted a shot at the sticky run with a Wild guaranteed each spin. It is still high variance, so it can whiff, but when the locks line up with a few Wilds, the screen count climbs fast and feels worth the punt.

How to Win at Midas Golden Touch Christmas Edition Slot

Midas Golden Touch Christmas Edition plays on 5 reels and 3 rows with 15 fixed paylines. Wins land when three or more matching symbols align on a line from the leftmost reel. Stakes range from 0.10 to 100, so I can set a level that suits the session plan. I use Spin for manual taps or Autoplay for batches, then open the info panel to check rules and paytable. The whole thing runs tidy on mobile, which makes on the go spins easy.

Midas Golden Touch Christmas Edition Slot RTP & Volatility

The default RTP for Midas Golden Touch Christmas Edition is 96.17 percent, rising to 96.43 percent when you use the Bonus Buy. There are also versions at 94.13 percent and 87.17 percent, so I check the game info before I stake. Volatility sits high, and the max win caps at 10,100x the bet, which suits streaky sessions. I pace the bankroll, accept barren stretches, and lean on those Wild ladders to land the bigger hits when they finally roll.

The Final Thoughts on Midas Golden Touch Christmas Edition

This festive take keeps the original’s simple loop and adds a tidy winter coat. Wild multipliers up to x32 and sticky win respins give the bonus bite, while a random Wild each spin nudges the setup in the right direction. The base can be swingy, and there are only two moving parts at play, but the package still works. I’ve had bonuses take a couple of hundred spins to land, then push decent totals when the locks stuck.
