Gameplay
The Hand of Midas is a five ❤️ reel, three row slot with 20 win lines.
Players can opt into the Ante Bet feature, which changes the way the ❤️ game behaves. For example, with a bet multiplier of x20, the gameplay is normal, but with a bet multiplier of ❤️ x25, the chances of winning the Free Spins feature are naturally doubled, and more Scatter symbols appear on the reels.
The ❤️ maximum win is x5,000 players’ total bet for both the base game and special features.
Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins
The Wild ❤️ symbol substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter symbol. Wild symbols land on reels 2, 3 and 4.
Wild symbols add ❤️ a random multiplier whenever they land, and these can be added together if more than one Wild lands. The multipliers ❤️ can be x1, x2, or x3.
When players land at least 3 Scatters, the Free Spins feature is triggered.
Prior to the ❤️ feature beginning, players are presented with 3 mini reels for each Scatter that triggered the feature. Each of these mini ❤️ reels contains the option of 1, 2, or 3 free spins. The mini reels then all spin and award a ❤️ total number of free spins.
During the Free Spins feature, a multiplier is applied to player's wins, and Wilds remain sticky ❤️ throughout the feature.
Depending on the number of Scatters that triggered the feature, the minimum guaranteed win can be higher. For ❤️ example, if 3 Scatters trigger the feature, the minimum win is 'x10 players’ total bet, but if 4 Scatters trigger ❤️ the feature, the minimum win is x20. Finally, if 5 Scatters trigger the feature, the minimum win is x30 player's ❤️ total bet.
If players have not reached the minimum win amount by the time the free spins have been completed, the ❤️ feature is retriggered. There is no retrigger limit for this feature.
