Realistic Games rewrites a classic theme in Book of Midas

Casino content developer, Realistic Games, has opened the next chapter in its Book of series, with the release of Book of Midas, a golden reimagining of the popular genre.

This 5×3 title contrasts classic themes with contemporary mechanics delivering a 10 payline slot with apples, roses and fountains as its highest-paying symbols. The main protagonist, King Midas, represents the slot’s wild symbol and is joined by a book scatter wild which also aids players in creating wins.

The King Midas bonus can be triggered during any base game spin, when awarded a symbol is chosen to be expanded to cover all positions on any reels it is present on, before paying out a win across all 10 lines.

Building upon this concept, at least three scatters are needed to gain entry to the free spins round with additional scatters awarding up to 25 free spins. At the end of each spin, the symbol that appears most on the gameboard will become expanding with each iteration of it being collected at the top of the screen.

Three or more of these symbols must be collected to trigger an expansion, and if multiple symbols have the same number of icons on the gameboard, the highest paying will be chosen, guaranteeing that the biggest possible wins will be awarded.

Book of Midas’ innovative base game and free spin round mechanics continue Realistic’s golden touch when it comes to slot development and follows recent hits such as Destination Atlantis, Shinobi Moon and Catch 22.

Jaana Repo, Senior Account Manager at Realistic Games, said: “Book of Midas epitomises our ability to take a popular and synonymous theme and add transformative elements to it that engage players and encourage innovation.

“Book of titles are a staple of many slot enthusiast’s play sessions and providing a distinctive game in that genre will allow Book of Midas to stand out from the crowd.

“With the King Midas bonus enhancing base game spins and the free spins round offering big win potential, we are confident players will be drawn to this golden release.”
