Pragmatic Play released the sequel to Hand of Midas, Hand of Midas 2, on June 27 2024. The new slot continues the Greek Mythology theme set in a blue-lit room with gold coins on the floor and a floating hand. 

In this review, you will learn about the game setup and bonus features.

Game Setup 

When you open the game, you are welcomed by 5 reels and 3 rows. You have 20 paylines to land winning combinations at a default RTP of 96.07%.

The other RTPs are 95.05% and 94.06%.

You must place a minimum bet of €0.20 or a maximum bet of €240 to get started. This gives you the chance to achieve the maximum win of 8000x. Your chances of winning the maximum win are 1 in 4702222. 

Once the game begins, you can land winning combinations of both low and high-paying symbols. The low pays are 10 to A card royals while the high pays are cups, fruit, chests, a golden lady, a bearded man and King Midas. 

Landing 5 matching OAK symbols rewards you with 1.25x to 2.5x while landing 5 matching high pays rewards you with 5x to 20x the bet. You can also land wilds on reels 2, 3 and 4 which have multipliers 2x, 3x, 5x or 10x. 

If you land more than one wild, the multipliers are added. 

Bonus Features

Free spins

Landing 3 scatters activates the Free Spins bonus round and a multiplier of 2x the bet. Scatters in the base game land on three reels; the rightmost, middle and leftmost. 

Before the bonus round begins, each scatter that activates the bonus round receives 3 Mini Reels showing numbers 1, 2 or 3 spins. When the Mini Reels finish spinning, the numbers are added to determine the Free Spins awarded. 

The round has a general multiplier applied to wins on each spin. 

When wilds land, they carry multipliers 2x, 3x, 5x or 10x. The wilds become sticky meaning they remain on the grid until the end of the round. 

The general multiplier increases by the value of wilds on the grid. 

Scatters can land on the leftmost and rightmost reels and reactivate the bonus round. Each scatter has 3 Mini Reels which carry rewards of 1, 2 or 3 Free Spins. 

When the Mini Reels spin, they carry an award for the total Free Spins showing. There is no limit to retriggers. 

Buy free spins 

You can head straight to the Free Spins round by placing 100x the bet. This guarantees you will land 4, 5 or 6 scatters and play on an RTP of 96.04%.

Verdict 

While the sequel is mostly similar to its predecessor, it carries an entertaining twist in the bonus round. The Mini Reels add a thrill to the already rewarding Free Spins round.
