The Hand of Midas

The Hand of Midas is based on the Greek tale of a king who could turn everything he touched to gold through sticky Wilds with increasing multipliers, in the feature called Free Spins. On Jabula Bets, users can learn how the game operates and also select from demo play or live play options.

About The Hand of Midas

The Hand of Midas was launched by Pragmatic Play in February 2021 and features royal gold graphics and a Greek historical theme based on the Golden Touch of King Midas.

The Hand of Midas Gameplay and Main Features

The Hand of Midas uses a familiar 5-reel, 3-row layout with 20 fixed paylines.

A few things shape how a round plays out:

Wild symbols that can carry a 2x or 3x multiplier on any payline they help complete;
Free Spins triggered by Scatter symbols, where landing Wilds become sticky and stay in place;
a minimum win guarantee built into the bonus round, ensuring Free Spins can’t return nothing;
optional Ante Bet and Bonus Buy features for different odds or a direct route to the bonus.

This gives the base game a fairly steady rhythm, with nearly all the excitement saved for Free Spins.

How The Hand of Midas Works

Each round is initiated after placing a wager and spinning the reels, with the outcomes determined via a certified random number generator. Wins are formed across the 20 paylines when matching icons appear from left to right; however, the Wild icons may feature either 2x or 3x multipliers. If enough Scatters land, you trigger Free Spins, during which all the Wilds that fall will be sticky and stay on the reels for several spins. Since the game is random, nothing can impact the outcome of the spin.

The Hand of Midas Symbols, Multipliers and Bonus Features

The paytable is built around Greek-themed symbols and card royals, alongside two standout mechanics:

Wild – substitutes for regular symbols and can carry a 2x or 3x multiplier on any win it forms part of;
sticky Free Spins Wilds – once triggered, stays locked in place for the rest of the bonus round, letting multipliers accumulate;
minimum win guarantee – ensures the Free Spins round returns at least a modest payout even on a quiet run.

Because sticky Wilds persist rather than resetting each spin, later spins in a Free Spins round can carry considerably more weight than the first.

The Hand of Midas RTP and Volatility

The default The Hand of Midas RTP is 96.54%, though some operators may run lower configurations of 95.50% or 94.51% – the exact rate should be checked in the paytable before play. RTP is a theoretical figure calculated over a large number of spins and does not determine the result of any single session.

The Hand of Midas volatility is rated at the maximum level by Pragmatic Play: the base game can feel repetitive between triggers, but sticky Wild multipliers during Free Spins are where the game’s real payout potential comes from.

The Hand of Midas Betting Range and Win Potential

The Hand of Midas betting starts from 0.20 per spin, up to a maximum of 100, covering a wide range of stake sizes.

The Hand of Midas max win is capped at 5,000x the stake, most realistically reached through a Free Spins round where several sticky Wild multipliers stack together. As with all high-volatility titles, outcomes anywhere near that ceiling are extremely rare and never guaranteed.
