Special Features
The Wild does not just substitute for all the regular symbols. It also carries a multiplier that can increase the bonus of the prize when it lands. These can range from x1 to x3. The current multiplier level is shown at the right of the reels.
The golden hand scatters are there to give players Free Spins. Three or more golden hands trigger it. When that happens, players get three mini reels that each have up to three free spins depending on the number of scatters. They are there to determine the number of extra spins.
Additionally, during these bonus rounds, the Wilds will be active and become sticky. This means they will remain in place until the bonus spins end. Additionally, if players don’t win a specific amount, the bonus rounds are triggered again to add more prizes. Hand of Midas has an RTP of 96.54 percent.
