Son of Midas Slot Machine - Play Son of Midas Slot Free

Introduction

Based on the legend of King Midas, Son of Midas is a slot from Golden Jade. This title is played on a five-reel, three-row grid with 20 fixed paylines. Let's see whether this title has the golden touch or there is an unhappy ending, just like the ancient Roman legend.

Son of Midas has a large variety of bonus features, including the golden frame that scoots around the game board on every spin with the potential to add a bonus. Other bonuses include free spins, a bonus wheel and the Midas scroll bonus, during which the Son of Midas can appear on any winning spin that does not trigger a bonus and increase your winnings.

Theme, graphics & soundtrack

This title has cartoon-based graphics that are clear and well-produced. All symbols look distinct from one another with the exception of the coin symbols, which at a glance look fairly similar. The reel spins are smooth and the win animations are brief but well-considered.

The in-game soundtrack is a generic mystical/ancient affair, which is largely ignorable. The reel effects are unobtrusive, making for a pleasant overall experience.

Son of Midas RTP and variance

The long-term average RTP of Son of Midas is set at 95.02 per cent, which is considerably lower than the average rate of 96 per cent for online slots. The low to medium variance of this title should see balanced payouts between the high and low values on the paytable along with fairly frequent low-value wins.

Son of Midas review: our verdict

This title looks great and comes with a wide variety of bonus features that keep the gameplay engaging on every spin. As ever, it is vital to use the higher than average number of auto spins with caution, as these can make it very easy to overspend on the reels.
