Developers’ latest video slot glistens with big win potential as players join King Midas and take advantage of his ability to turn everything he touches into gold

Stakelogic, the tier one online casino content provider, & Reflex Gaming are giving players the chance to enjoy the Midas touch and turn spins into gold and big wins in the latest slot to roll off their production line, Midas Wilds.

The game is played on a 5×3 reel matrix with 20 win lines. Players join King Midas, the ruler of the ancient Kingdom of Phyrgia, where he sits in his palace marvelling at the powers bestowed on him by the gods – everything he touches turns to gold.

His food, a rose, a river, even his own daughter; once he has touched them they become solid gold. A gift or a curse? The only way to find out is to join King Midas in Midas Wilds. In addition to his powers, players are helped in their quest for riches by several bonus features.

This includes Free Spins, which are triggered when three Scatter Symbols land on the reels. The number of Free Games awarded is determined by the type of Scatter that lands on reel three and as follows:

Scatter x Scatter x Scatter = 8 Free Spins and a bonus win of 2x the player’s bet
Scatter x Super Scatter x Scatter = 12 Free Spins and a bonus win of 10x the player’s bet
Scatter x Mega Scatter x Scatter = 16 Free Spins and a bonus win of 50x the player’s bet

When the Midas symbol lands on the reels, one of three Wild Boost Bonuses are awarded. This includes Wild Boost Bonus – Rivers of Gold which sees the full-length Midas character appear and then be replaced with a cascading river that turns to gold, revealing a full reel of Wild symbols.

The Wild Boost Bonus – Midas Touch sees three or more reel positions, including the Midas symbol, be touched by the hand of Midas turning them into Wild symbols.

The Wild Boost Bonus – Mega Wilds sees three or more positions, including the Midas symbol, be touched by the hand of Midas turning them into Mega Wild symbols which have a x2, x3, x5, or x10 Multiplier. All Mega Wilds have the same Multiplier value.

Players are given the option to Gamble their winnings with the chance to increase the value of their prize. They can either gamble on the card colour or the card suit and if they guess correctly their win will be multiplied by x2 or x4 respectively. Of course, if they guess wrong, they will forfeit their win.

Salvatore Campione, Head of Greenlogic® at Stakelogic, adds, “From the initial spin to the last, this highly entertaining slot builds anticipation with every spin.

With the Free Spins, players are taken on a hair-raising adventure. As the number of Wild Respins ramps up, and the multipliers kick in, the winning potential gets bigger and bigger.”

Mat Ingram, CPO at Reflex Gaming, said, “This game is our take on the popular King Midas theme. Combine this proven formula with the innovative Super Stake game mechanic, and you have a match made in heaven. I’m a big fan of Free Spins features that become progressively better as they play out, players will see that the Midas Wilds feature can give them amazing win potential.”

Arizona regulator orders five operators to stop alleged illegal gambling activity

Cease-and-desist letters cite alleged felonies and underage access tied to BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator.

The Arizona Department of Gaming said it has issued cease-and-desist orders to five online platforms—BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator—after investigations that the Department says involved alleged illegal gambling activity and underage access in Arizona.

In its announcement, the Department said each enforcement action alleges conduct giving rise to three felonies under Arizona law: promotion of gambling, illegal control of an enterprise, and money laundering. The agency cited Arizona’s prohibition on gambling unless specifically authorized (Ariz. Rev. Stat. Tit. 13, Ch. 33) and said the legal gambling age in the state is 21.

“Arizona is taking decisive action against illegal gambling operators that put Arizonans at risk,” said Jackie Johnson, Department Director. “Our top priority is protecting Arizonans and I’m grateful for the efforts of our intelligence unit led by Chief Law Enforcement Officer Doug Jensen to do just that. Through these cease-and-desist orders we are putting operators on notice: their conduct runs contrary to Arizona law and they must stop promoting illegal gambling.”

The Department’s letters describe different alleged violations by operator. For BetOpenly, the Department said peer-to-peer gambling rules prohibit third-party benefit, and alleged the platform benefited via a commission structure while enabling event wagering and daily fantasy sports contests without the required state licenses, including availability to underage Arizonans. For Bookmaker, the Department said its investigation found wagering on horse racing, casino games, and sports betting without an event wagering license or an advanced deposit wagering provider license, adding that online casino games are not legal in Arizona.

For Club WPT Online Poker, the Department alleged the platform enabled individuals under 21 in Arizona to enter pay-to-play online poker tournaments for prizes while using deceptive “no purchase necessary” language; the Department said online poker is illegal in Arizona. For Kutt Inc., the Department said Arizona “social” gambling prohibits third-party benefit and directed the operator to stop allowing Arizona users to deposit money and wager on sports, politics, pop culture, and casino-style games. For Raffle Creator, the Department said the operator did not meet requirements that allow Arizona nonprofits to conduct lawful raffles and alleged it allowed people under 21 to purchase tickets for prize chances.

The Department said the notified entities are directed to immediately stop all gambling operations and activities in Arizona “whether through mobile applications, online, or otherwise,” and to cease any future illegal gambling in the state. It added that future actions may include criminal charges or civil action against entities, principals, and employees, and that operators “may be subject to a potential award of restitution” and forfeiture of monies acquired due to the alleged conduct.
