Hand of Midas 2 review

Theme and Style

Hand of Midas 2 takes the myth of King Midas and turns it into a slot. Midas wished that everything he touched would turn to gold, but got monkey-pawed. Everything turned to gold including his food, his drink, and most tragic of all, his daughter.

Here the myth is given some additional pizazz with a deep background suggesting an Atlantean underground castle and an image on the screen of a daughter who has already been turned to gold.

This slot will appeal to fans of mythology, with its unusual subject matter in the genre of Greco-Roman-themed slots.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

Hand of Midas 2 sells itself on the rich, realistic artwork, including an atmospheric background plate and the recognizable characters of Midas and his gold-plated offspring.

Life is given to the game by sparks coming from the bottom and fun little animations for each of the symbols when they win.

The music is another highlight with an excellent movie-score-style soundtrack.

Overall, the front end of this slot is excellent.
