Latest release features wild multipliers, Gift of Midas feature and thrilling bonus game

Independent slots studio Thunderkick has announced the launch of Midas Golden Touch 2, the highly-anticipated sequel to the acclaimed 2019 original.

This latest release invites players to rediscover an enchanted realm where everything King Midas touches turns to gold. The 3×5 video slot boasts 15 paylines and showcases Thunderkick’s signature high-quality design and innovative features.

In the base game, players can trigger the Gift of Midas feature at random, adding up to nine wild symbols or up to three scatter symbols to the reels. Wild symbols carry multipliers from 2x up to 32x based on the number of wilds in a winning payline.

Landing three or more scatters triggers the lucrative bonus game where any win activates a sticky re-spin feature. During re-spins, winning symbols lock in place while the rest of the reels re-spin, continuing until no additional winning symbols appear.

The Epic Wild symbol, starting with a 2x multiplier, is also added to the reels at the start of each free spin. Collecting three scatters during the bonus game doubles the Epic Wild multiplier up to 32x and awards two extra free spins.

Midas Golden Touch 2 also introduces new BET+ options, allowing players to increase their chances of triggering the bonus game. For an additional cost, spins can be 2x or 5x more likely to activate the coveted bonus game.

This release sees Thunderkick continue to develop high-quality, dynamic slots that have contributed to its significant growth, with recent releases Xterminate and 12 Bolts of Thunder receiving impressive player engagement rates.

“We’re excited to invite players back to King Midas’ kingdom with this feature-rich sequel,” the Game Product Owner for Thunderkick, Mike Collins, said. “With Midas Golden Touch 2, we want to offer a visually immersive journey filled with golden treasures and big win potential.

“Features such as the new BET+ options add an extra layer of choice and excitement. The original Midas Golden Touch was a player favourite and we believe this follow-up will resonate strongly with customers and operators worldwide.”
