Son of Midas

According to an ancient legend, the King of Phrygia, King Midas, had an extraordinary gift from the god Dionysus. His touch was able to transform everything into pure pure gold. The story doesn't have a happy ending. The sovereign soon realized that this prerogative however had a notable disadvantage: he could no longer eat, because every food he touched to take it in his mouth turned to gold. So he asked that the magical gift be removed. Green Jade, on the other hand, invents a completely different story. Son of Midas, the slot machine of which you will be able to learn about the rules and characteristics by reading this review, features the son of the king who has inherited some of his powers. The boy doesn't seem as smart as his father, but he has plenty of time to grow and improve. Just as you have plenty of time to spin this Green Jade game to discover its exciting features!

Son of Midas Overview

The setting of Son of Midas is that of a luxurious palace of ancient Greece, where the white columns soar against the blue sky and no thoughts cross the minds of the wealthy. King Midas and his offspring are only intent on enjoying the comforts and riches determined by their condition, and you too will immediately breathe this pleasant condition of well-being. After some introductory slides that will give you some information on the gameplay, you will find yourself in the gardens of King Midas' palace. The reels are framed in a Greek temple, with cypress trees surrounding the scenery and a tub full of water in which the sovereign spends his time splashing around happily.

The Son of Midas game grid is otherwise fairly common. The layout of the slot provides for the presence of 5 reels and 3 lines, while the paylines that you can use to complete your winning combinations they are 20. You can find out its progress by pressing the general menu button, which you find at the top, and then the "help" button which will provide you with all the main information on this game. For the rest, however, the keys you need to play can all be found under the reels. There's autospin, which allows you to spin independently up to 1,000, and there's Turbo which spins the reels faster. In the center you will find the spin button, for single rotation of the reels, and on the right the button with the arrows with which to decide how much you want to bet. You can choose between the minimum of 0.20 and the maximum of 100.

Son of Midas Symbols

Son of Midas' paytable is one of the best we've seen in a while. There is a strict tripartition between low, medium and high paying symbols. We will see how this finds its reasons for the purposes of one of the features of the slot. All symbols pay if repeated along a payline 3 to 5 times. There are the low paying symbols which represent three coins; then there are the medium-paying ones which depict a cithara, an amphora and a cup. The three symbols that pay the most are King Midas, his lady and her son, the icon that pays the most. In addition to the regular symbols, there are special symbols which in this case are 3: the Wild, the Bonus and the Scatter.

The Wild symbol substitutes for all other regular, non-special symbols to complete winning combinations. It also pays a win repeated 3 to 5 times. The Wild also activates some random features. This happens if the sparkling frame that moves on the reels during a game stops around it. Three things can happen:

• makes symbols increase in value, so that low pays become medium pays and medium pays become high pays.
• adds 2 to 5 Wilds on the reels during the base game and 3 to 5 during Free Spins.
• starts the golden wheel which has 12 wedges and can win multipliers, Free Spins or the Bonus game (which we will discuss in the next paragraph).

The other two special Son of Midas symbols are the Scatter, which starts the free spins, and the Bonus, which starts the Bonus Picker game. Finally, it must be said that both during the base game and during Free Spins all regular symbols can appear as Mega Symbols, i.e. 2x2 in size.

Son of Midas Features

First let's talk about two features that can be activated during the base game. The first concerns the Enchantment of the son of King Midas. After a winning spin, in which none of the features are activated, however, the son of King Midas can try to cast a spell. This may simply fail, in which case it may try again. If he succeeds, he gives you a prize or a multiplier. Also in the base game, you will notice that there is a sparkling frame moving between the symbols on the reels. If the frame highlights the Wild symbol, several things can happen. Either the lower value symbols are transformed into the higher value ones: either Wilds are added to the reels before the spin is completed, or the golden wheel is activated.

The golden wheel has 12 wedges that can award win multipliers, free spins, or the Picker Bonus game. This feature is also activated when two Bonus symbols land on the reels. It consists of choosing among several closed amphorae to find a prize at random between the minimum of 5 times and the maximum of 500 times the bet. The other additional feature of Son of Midas is that of Free Spins and is activated with 3 or more Scatters. The free spins can be 10, 20 or 30, depending on the number of triggering Scatters, and while they are in progress the Bonus symbols never appear. During the Free Spins, which can be retriggered, the Mega Symbols appear more frequently, which can also appear during the base game and which are essentially the regular symbols, but in a 2x2 version.
