- An interesting take of the popular ‘book of’ series
- Each spin can have a different expanding symbol
- Based on the Greek story of King Midas
Realistic have just released a new game, Book of Midas, which I’m very pleased about because I’m a big fan of Greek Mythology, and the tale of King Midas is certainly one of the better ones. For those of you who don’t know, King Midas wished everything he touched turned to gold, hoping to use his riches to build a vastly wealthy empire. Of course, this had a lot of negative consequences that he didn’t realise, but I needn’t go into any more detail on that. The slot looks great with lots of gold as expected. There are 5 reels and 3 rows to give you 10 pay lines. Just get a win from left to right using the following base symbols:
- 9
- 10
- Jack
- Queen
- King
- Ace
- Apple
- Rose
- Pegasus
- Fountain
- King Midas

Book of Midas Slot Bonuses and Features
Wild Symbols. In this game, King Midas himself is the wild symbol, substituting for all other symbols in a winning combination apart from the book scatter. He’s also more valuable on his own compared to the other base symbols.
Free Spins Bonus. This is triggered with at least 3 book scatter symbols appearing anywhere on the reels at the same time. Additionally, each scatter symbol also acts as a wild, substituting for all other symbols in a winning combination. If you land just 3 of them you’ll get 8 free spins, but land 4 and you’ll get 12 free spins, and landing 5 will give you the maximum number of 25 free spins. After the end of each spin during the bonus, the symbol that appears most on the screen is chosen to be the expanding symbol. This will cover all positions on that reel if it can create more wins. Lastly, you can retrigger the free spins bonus with 3, 4 or 5 scatters to get 8, 12 or 25 more free spins.
King Midas Bonus. This can be triggered whenever you get a spin that doesn’t trigger the free spins bonus. An expanding symbol is chosen in the same way as the free spins bonus for that spin.
Bonus Buy. Outside the U.K., players can buy the main bonus for 91x your stake, and the RTP here is 94.19%. You can get 3, 4 or 5 scatters.
Conclusion
Book of Midas slot is Realistic’s take on a ‘book of’ slot, where traditionally you get expanding symbols during the free spins bonus to helps get more wins. They’ve gone with a nice theme here based on the King from Greek Mythology and it looks good. They’ve changed things up a bit by having a different expanding symbol on each free spins, based on how many symbols appear on each spin. It’s a unique take that can work well and means you don’t have to look out for just 1 symbol each spin. There’s also the King Midas bonus which is like a small version of this when the free spins don’t activate. Overall, quite a good slot with an original take on a popular bonus that looks the part and plays well.
