Midas Gold

The legend of Midas, the king who wished for the power to turn everything he touched into gold, is a cautionary tale about the dangers of greed. In the end, King Midas lost everything he loved and then died a slow and lonely death as a result of constantly chasing riches. 

And when you look at it that way, you've got to admit it's a bit of a strange theme for a slot. However, it's still a very popular one, and Red Tiger Gaming have taken a crack at it with the 5x3 Midas Gold. 

Payouts are triggered by landing three or more matching symbols anywhere on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel one. This means there are a total of 243 different ways to win by crisscrossing the grid. The betting range in this medium to high volatility slot is from 0.01 to 25.00.

The symbols are 10 to Ace card ranks at the lower end of the pay table. The more valuable symbols all represent the pleasures Midas lost because of his constant desire for more gold. There’s a bowl of fruit, a goblet of wine, the king’s throne, and finally, what he realised too late, the real love of his life, his daughter Zoe. 

The man himself, King Midas, is the one and only special symbol in Midas Gold. The good news is that only one needs to land to trigger the special feature, which can turn any other icon into a feature symbol.  

Red Tiger have kept the bonus features to a minimum in this slot. But that's not really a drawback, as the one and only bonus is entertaining and can produce some extremely high win potential.

Whenever the King Midas symbol lands, it comes to life, and the king climbs down from his position and stands before the grid. He’ll then choose a symbol to touch, turning it gold. All other symbols of the same type on the reels also turn gold.

These will stick for one respin, and if any more of the same symbol land, they'll also turn gold and stick for another respin. This could end up with the player covering the entire grid with one gold symbol, leading to massive possible prizes. 

Midas Gold on Foxy Bingo turns a cautionary legend about greed into a great, fun slot with simple gameplay that can still potentially pay out 2,000 x the stake. Just remember what happened to Midas, and always set a loss limit before playing. Good Luck!
