Game Content

The legend has it that all that King Midas touches turns to gold, and in the fabulously entertaining Book of Midas video slot by Realistic Games, this comes true in the seriously generous Bonus Rounds, where King Midas’ magical touch unlocks the potential for monumental wins.

The Book of Midas isn’t just another long line of entertaining Book of… games by the talented Realistic Games, it could well be the future of Book of… games. This game has all the standard characteristics of a classic Book game, but this 5-reel slot with a free spin round offers players something new when the Bonus Round is activated, a cool twist!

Rather than having a fixed expanding symbol at the beginning of the bonus round, an expanding symbol is dynamically chosen after each spin round. Bonus symbols are picked based on the symbol that appears most frequently, which is just about every spin. Plus, if Midas is feeling generous, the expanding symbol can be awarded randomly during the base game.

Buy Option

There is a Bonus Buy option, and normally I’d advise against clicking this option, as it’s seriously hit-and-miss. However, given the fabulous “Midas touch” in the Free Spins round, buying into your “Free Spins” makes it more likely to walk away with a profit. Obviously, luck plays its part, and you need to stick to the smaller bets. As soon as you start to buy in at a premium rate, the odds are seriously stacked in the Casino’s favour.

That said, I played the buy-in round 4 times at different buy-in stakes (0.10 = 9.50, 0.40 = 38, 2.00 = 190, and 5.00 = 475) and every time I walked away with more than I’d bet. To say that that is rare is the understatement of the decade. CAUSION!!! Luck was on my side and I managed to bag extra spins in the 2.00 and 5.00 stakes, otherwise, I’d have finished at a serious loss.

Is it a “go-to” game?

An emphatic YES! This is a clever game that doesn’t look as complicated as the winning ways suggest. The graphics are just good enough to be interesting and the soundtrack is non-intrusive . The game play is easy and following all the little win options is fun. I managed to walk-away from this game a winner, having played for 45 minutes, and not once having to redeposit my original £5 stake. Just let that sink in, 45 minutes play on £5 and walked away with £5+. An achievement that is as rare as picking the winning numbers at the weekend.

Safer Gambling

Safer gambling in this Book of… game could be better, but there are options to limit your play, which is always a good thing. As well as the simple click and play option, you can set the losses or wins, at which point the game stops. The rest is good old-fashioned self-control.

Bonus Feature

The Book of Midas by Realistic Games is a basic version of all Book of…series of books, with all the classic Book of… Bonus options, and a seriously cool Respin feature that builds with every win. Spin and drop three or more scatter symbols and the Free Spins feature is triggered. You are then taken to the actual Book where your 8 free spins start instantly.

Prizes in this game are seriously generous when you factor in the Respins option, and especially once you bag those Bonus Spins. There is no gamble feature in this game, just good old-fashioned reels and spins.

Demo Mode

Realistic Games offers Demo Mode on all their games, which is a fabulous service and a great way to test a game and play before you pay. Most game producers and Casinos offer Demo Mode, which means that you can test the game for Free. To use Demo Mode at an online Casino you will need to be a registered player and have either deposited or have your card details registered. Demo play is Free and does not pay out.   

Top Tip: Play Demo Mode games the same way you’d play Real Money Games. It’s tempting to only bet the maximum bet and gamble every win when you have a “play money” pot. While that might be fun, it doesn’t represent your normal game play, and could lead to riskier play when you go back to Real Money games.
