Red Rake Gaming has expanded its catalog with a slot shaped around a figure often associated with untold wealth and irreversible consequences. Titled Midas Wins, the release draws on the mythology of the Phrygian king whose legendary touch turned everything to gold—this time through a grid format where coins, clusters, and cascading reels replace linear pay lines.

At first glance, the title uses a 5×5 setup, with symbols falling into place rather than spinning on traditional reels. The structure reflects a shift toward flexible win conditions, allowing combinations of six or more identical symbols in any position to generate payouts. This deviation from fixed pay lines aligns with broader trends in modern slot design, where spatial patterns and grid mechanics are used to create momentum and unpredictability.

Instead of relying on pay lines or adjacent connections, Midas Wins applies what the developer calls “anywhere wins.” What matters is not placement along a specific line but the number of identical symbols appearing anywhere on the screen. This grants more variation in outcome generation, especially when paired with the cascading system that follows.

Those symbols vanish once a winning pattern is registered, allowing new ones to drop from above. This cascading mechanism allows for a single spin to evolve into several consecutive outcomes, offering sequences of results without requiring a new bet for each. It's a format that has proven effective at maintaining player interest, mainly when supported by layered feature mechanics—and Red Rake appears to have leaned into that direction.

The central feature revolves around the coin symbols and their associated multipliers. When these special coins appear, they're evaluated for instant value and fed into a collection mechanic tied to the game's title character. The so-called “King Midas Collector” functions passively throughout the base game and bonus mode, gradually building toward multipliers that can later be applied to enhance payouts.

What distinguishes the bonus round in Midas Wins is how it introduces progression inside the feature. By landing three or more bonus-triggering symbols, players unlock a free spins mode that does not merely offer a fixed number of rounds. Instead, the feature opens up a tiered pathway with up to three multiplier levels. The collection of additional bonus symbols during the free spins sequence advances the player from one level to the next.

Each level has a multiplier value, and when coin symbols appear during the bonus, their worth is affected by the current level. This creates an incentive to prolong the session within the bonus round, as climbing to higher tiers brings more spins and amplifies coin values. The structure introduces a strategic dimension where progression becomes more important than isolated hits.

King Midas plays a more visible role during the free spins phase, appearing beside the reels as a constant visual element. His presence also reflects the ongoing collection mechanic, reinforcing the theme without disrupting the interface. While purely cosmetic in the base game, his symbolic value increases within the bonus mode, as he serves as a reminder of the multiplier system in place.

The game doesn't overload the screen with excess animations or elaborate visuals. Instead, it adopts a more focused presentation that keeps the grid as the primary focal point. Midas sits adjacent to the reel frame, while gold-accented backgrounds support the mythological theme. The design promotes functionality over theatrical effects, staying consistent with Red Rake's usual approach.

From a mathematical standpoint, Midas Wins leans into high variance territory. Its payout structure, the tiered bonus progression, and the coin-multiplier combo indicate a model that favors larger but less frequent rewards. This suits players looking for feature-driven outcomes rather than consistent base game returns. That said, the cascading and anywhere-win mechanics help reduce dead spins by increasing the frequency of extended sequences from a single spin.
