Midas Golden Touch: Christmas Edition Slot Review

Midas Golden Touch: Christmas Edition Slot Overview

Thunderkick has rolled into the season by sprinkling a little tinsel onto their hit Midas Golden Touch release. First things first, if you have played the original title, you have effectively played this game. Barring a few yuletide flourishes here and there and a Santa-suited King Midas, this is the same game as Midas Golden Touch. Nevertheless, a Christmas sheen is hard not to like, and players will find plenty of thrills, including Multiplier Wilds and a Free Spins Bonus featuring a rewarding Re-spins mechanic. When you’ve finished unwrapping this one, you may find a 10,100x present under the tree!

Midas Golden Touch: Christmas Edition Slot Details
Paylines	15
RTP	96.17%
Volatility	High
Jackpot	x
Minimum Bet	£0.1
Maximum Bet	£100
Maximum Win	10,100 x
Software Provider	Thunderkick
Themes	Christmas
Design and Layout	Scatter Symbols Slots, 5 Reel Slots, Wild Symbol
Features	Bonus Round, Free Spins, Multiplier, Re-Spins

Overall, we found this to be a rock-solid but uninspired addition to the Christmas slots scene. It’s hard to knock Thunderkick for not wanting to tinker too much with the Midas Golden Touch mechanics, but it would have been nice to see an additional tweak in the gameplay. What we get instead is Midas Golden Touch with added Christmas Trees. Perhaps we hope for too much from these seasonal releases, and those new to the game will almost certainly find a lot to like. This slot may be simple, but it’s a good looker and well-balanced for a high-volatility release, thanks to the excellent Wild Multiplier system. A little Bah Humbug at an RTP of 87.17%, but at the higher settings, it brings plenty of fun to the Christmas slots party.

Midas Golden Touch: Christmas Edition Slot Bonus Features

Free Spins Bonus

Sparkling Star Decorations are the Scatters of the game:

3x Scatters = 10 free spins
4x Scatters = 15 free spins
5x Scatters = 20 free spins

Bag three Scatters on a spin during the round, and 10 additional Spins will be heading your way.

Free Spins take place on the same 5x3 layout as the base game, with the Multiplier Wilds in play. A pair of winnings-boosting features are then thrown into the mix to up the big win excitement:

One Wild symbol will be added to the reels at the start of every free spin.
Whenever you land a winning combination, all winning symbols lock in place, and the remaining positions re-spin. This process repeats until no new winning combos are created – increasing your chances of landing multiple winning lines.

Bonus Buy Feature

Players in eligible jurisdictions (not available to UK Players) can skip the waiting process and move into Free Spins by selecting Bonus Buy. Priced at 80x the total bet, this option will take you straight into a randomly activated three, four, or five Scatter Free Spins Bonus

Our Verdict A simple but satisfying bonus game. The retriggering capability is a definite plus, whilst the guaranteed Wilds and Re-spin feature have the potential to combine to golden effect!

Midas Golden Touch: Christmas Edition Slot RTP & Volatility

RTP	Variable RTP	Volatility
96.17%	Yes	High

The top-end Return to Player (RTP) percentage of 96.17% is the tip of a Christmas Tree above the industry average RTP of 96%.

In common with the original game, this glittery edition resides squarely in the high volatility category. Slots of this rating provide a rollercoaster experience but offer a better chance of hitting a big win in a short session than low-medium-volatility releases.

Our Verdict The top-end 96.17% RTP represents excellent value for money. However, you should be aware that alternative, lower settings of 94.13% and a distinctly un-Christmassy 87.17% are also available. We always recommend consulting the information section of the game to discover the setting in use at your online casino of choice. Christmas-themed games almost always suggest a light gaming experience. Don't be fooled, as King Midas and those magical gold-creating fingers could take you on a bumpy ride.

Midas Golden Touch: Christmas Edition Slot Graphics & Audio

Graphics

The marble slab-style style game grid takes pride of place in the classic columned abode of King Midas. Night has descended for this instalment, with fluffy flecks of snow adding a nice wintery vibe to the ancient Greek setting. There is, of course, an abundance of gold, both on the grid itself and in the surrounding adornments. The game symbols appear much as they did in the first game, albeit having been whizzed through a festive filter. Nevertheless, they do the job well enough, with the Card Values, in particular, boasting a distinctly December sheen.

Midas Golden Touch Christmas Edition (Thunderkick) 2 — Low value symbol winnings

Midas Golden Touch Christmas Edition (Thunderkick) 3 — Base game spins

Audio

Gentle and soothing is the order of the day with the soundtrack. Plucked harps, swooning violins, twinkling xylophones, and wailing female vocals set the sedate pace, creating a tune that will soon have you sinking deeper into your seat. The understated thuds of the reels do little to intrude on the calm, but electronic clunks and flourishes ensure you don't miss the arrival of the special symbols.

Our Verdict As far as festive skins go, Thunderkick haven’t exactly pushed the boat out, with the game symbols only ever so slightly different from the first game. That said, the nighttime setting works really well, and the quality of the audio and visuals is as excellent as ever.

Midas Golden Touch: Christmas Edition Slot on Mobile

Thunderkick can be relied upon to ensure their games are fully optimised for the small screen, and Midas Golden Touch: Christmas Edition continues this trend. Android, iOS, and Windows users will find all the gameplay and features intact.
