Hand of Midas 2 Slot Review

Introducing Hand of Midas 2 Slot

Hand of Midas 2 slot brings back King Midas for another go at the golden touch, and from the first spin I could feel the dynamic, highly volatile play. The 5 reel, 3 row grid with 20 fixed lines looks standard, yet wild multipliers, sticky wilds and a general win multiplier turn it into a proper high risk machine with an 8,000x max win and stakes from 0.20 up to 240 per spin.

In practice Hand of Midas 2 stays very close to the original, but the tweaks hit where it matters for me. Wild multipliers can now reach 10x, the win cap jumps from 5,000x, and the old guaranteed minimum bonus win has gone. That change gives the free spins a sharper, do or do not vibe, so sessions feel more swingy, yet far more tempting when you are chasing a big screen.

Theme & Design: Ancient Mythical Treasure in Hand of Midas 2

The moment Hand of Midas 2 loaded I was dropped into a dark hall crammed with treasure, flickering flames and piles of coins on the floor. A huge golden hand on the right tracks the win multiplier, while the reels sit in front of what feels like the king's treasury. It is very much the same setting as the first game, only sharper and more crisply defined.

The soundtrack sits in that sweet spot between epic and calming, with chimes and low strings that underline the Greek mythology theme without getting tiring over a long session. Visual effects during free spins, when the room lights up and the hand turns even more golden, give the bonus a satisfying sense of occasion, and the whole package runs smoothly on mobile thanks to the usual HTML5 set up.

Symbols & Payouts in Hand of Midas 2

Hand of Midas 2 uses the same mix of picture symbols and card royals as the original, and the payouts are identical too. Wins pay left to right on the 20 fixed lines, starting from reel one, and all returns scale with your total bet. Low valued icons are 10, J and Q paying up to 1.25x, with K and A stepping up to 2.5x your stake for five of a kind.

The premium set carries the Greek story. The golden cup pays up to 5x, the fruit bowl reaches 7.5x, and treasure chests climb to 10x. Above them the golden lady pays 12.5x, the bearded chap 15x, and King Midas himself tops the lot with 2x, 6x and 20x for three, four or five. On a strong multiplier spin these values turn small regular hits into properly meaningful payouts.

Special symbols carry most of the excitement in Hand of Midas 2. The wild is a chunky golden tile with a big W that appears only on reels two, three and four, subbing for all regulars. Whenever a wild lands it may carry a 2x, 3x, 5x or 10x multiplier which applies to the total win, and multiple wilds add their multipliers together, which is where big base game spikes can appear.

How to Play Hand of Midas 2 Slot

Getting started with Hand of Midas 2 is straightforward even if you are new, and as a long time slot player I appreciate that. I set my stake with the plus and minus buttons between 0.20 and 240, then hit the main spin button or tap space or enter on desktop. Autoplay, Quickspin and Turbo Spin options keep long sessions flowing, and the paytable sits under the clear information icon.

Bonus Features in Hand of Midas 2

In the base game of Hand of Midas 2 those wild multipliers are the star attraction. Every time I land a couple of W tiles with 3x or 5x on them the total win can jump in a way you rarely see on a simple 20 line setup. Because the multipliers add together rather than replacing each other, a screen with stacked wilds can throw out genuinely eye catching hits.

Free spins in Hand of Midas 2 fire when three golden hand scatters hit on reels one, three and five, paying 2x the bet and triggering the mini reels. Each triggering scatter spins a mini reel showing 1, 2 or 3 spins, and the total becomes your starting stash. During the feature all wilds turn sticky and stay on the board, while a general win multiplier sits above the reels tracking your progress.

When a sticky wild lands in free spins it can carry +2x, +3x, +5x or +10x and that value gets added to the general multiplier, which then applies to every subsequent win. Scatters on reels one and five can retrigger more spins via fresh mini reels, and there is no fixed cap on retriggers. If patience is not your thing, the bonus buy costs 100x bet and guarantees at least three scatters.

Max Win, RTP, & Variance in Hand of Midas 2

On the numbers side Hand of Midas 2 runs a default RTP of 96.07 percent, with alternative versions at 95.05 and 94.06 depending on where you play. The volatility sits firmly in the high bracket, flagged by five lightning bolts in the rules, yet with an advertised hit frequency around 27.77 percent, roughly a win every 3.6 spins, the base game does not feel completely barren between features.

Max win potential in Hand of Midas 2 climbs to 8,000x stake, which is a straight upgrade over the first outing and can reach 1,920,000 at top bet if the operator has no lower cap. In long test sessions I have seen the game swing hard, with runs of dead spins followed by single screens where sticky wilds and a beefed up multiplier combine for the type of payout that keeps high variance fans coming back.

Hand of Midas 2: Should You Spin It?

From my point of view Hand of Midas 2 is a strong sequel that justifies its place alongside the original without blowing it away. Higher wild multipliers, sticky free spins action and that 8,000x top payout give it proper chase value, though the missing guaranteed minimum bonus win means sessions can feel brutal. If you enjoy volatile Greek themed slots with stacking multipliers, this one is well worth a serious spin.
