Play Book of Midas Slot Game

The legend of King Midas is more than just well-known — his golden touch turned everything into treasure, and in Book of Midas, Realistic Games uses this myth as the foundation for yet another "Book of..." slot. It sticks to familiar mechanics but gives them a Greek twist. Unlike some over-the-top interpretations, this one keeps it straightforward: riches, grandeur, and a sense of impending fortune.

The game runs on a 5x3 grid with 10 fixed paylines, which means there's little room for customisation in terms of line selection. The minimum bet starts at 0.10, keeping things accessible. The core of the gameplay revolves around special expanding symbols in free spins, a mechanic that should be familiar to fans of Book of Dead or Book of Ra.

Realistic Games has a habit of taking classic mechanics and adding slight twists to keep things fresh. Other titles from the studio include Book of Charms and Book of Legends, both following a similar blueprint but with different themes. If you’re after more of the same but in a different setting, these might be worth checking out.

Here’s how you can get started and play Book of Midas for yourself:

1. Sign in to your account at Heart Bingo.
2. Head to the online slots page.
3. Search for “Book of Midas” and click the game when it appears.
4. Once it's loaded, click on the pile of coins to find an appropriate stake size.
5. Click the Spin button to get the reels moving.

If you aren't already registered, click on the green 'Sign Up' button in the top right corner and fill in the required fields. You can then verify your account and make a deposit if you want to play Book of Midas with real funds.

As expected, the symbols align with the game's mythology, with King Midas himself as the most valuable. On the other hand, lower-paying symbols include traditional card royals. A complete breakdown of the symbols is given in the table below:

As with most "Book of..." slots, the Book of Midas serves as both the wild and scatter. As a wild, it substitutes for all other symbols to potentially complete winning combinations. As a scatter, landing three or more of them triggers the Free Spins Bonus Round.

Free Spins Bonus Round

Landing 3, 4, or 5 book scatter symbols anywhere on the reels triggers 8, 12, or 25 free spins. Before the free spins begin, the game selects an Expanding Symbol, which will stretch to cover its entire reel when enough of them appear to form a winning combination. Unlike standard wins, expanded symbols pay out regardless of paylines, making them the key to potentially big payouts.

King Midas Bonus

The King Midas Bonus can activate randomly after any spin that doesn’t trigger the Free Spins Bonus Round. When it does, an Expanding Symbol is selected in the same way as during free spins, effectively giving players another shot at the high-value feature without needing scatters.

Gamble Feature

After any win, players can choose to gamble their winnings by guessing the colour of a hidden card. A correct guess potentially doubles the winnings, while an incorrect one forfeits the prize.

Book of Midas stays true to the well-loved "Book of" format, but with a Greek mythology theme. Players looking for similar slots might enjoy Book of Ra Deluxe or Book of Dead, both of which have nearly identical expanding symbol mechanics. All the titles are available at Heart Bingo.
