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.”

CSMG will create and operate College Street FighterTM Tour in North America for the 2024-25 academic year
College conference Street Fighter 6 champions will punch their ticket to the national Collegiate Esports Commissioner’s Cup (CECC) & May Madness in 2025

Collegiate Sports Management Group (CSMG) announced today during the kick-off of its Collegiate Esports Commissioner’s Cup (CECC) Texas presented by McDonald’s that it has joined forces with Capcom to launch the College Street FighterTM Tour during its 2024-25 academic year with the finalists competing at CECC Texas in 2025 throughout its May Madness event. Street FighterTM 6 will join Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Overwatch 2®, Rocket League, and VALORANT as part of the official game titles for CECC.

“We are immensely excited to welcome Capcom into the CECC family and provide a path to glory for student athletes to showcase their skills in Street Fighter 6,” said Michael Schreck, Chief Executive Officer for CSMG. “In our fourth year of building May Madness, we continue to listen to our players, coaches and fans on how to make our event more inclusive, and the partnership with Street Fighter 6 is a resounding success.”

“The Street Fighter franchise is a multi-generational and global game series, so it’s important for us to continue to grow that fandom at the collegiate level,” said Michael Larson, Head of Esports at Capcom USA. “CECC continues to set the standard for competition and community, so it’s a natural format for expansion, and we’re eager for College Street Fighter Tour competitors across North America to show off their skills and join us in Texas next year.”

”The vision for the College Street Fighter Tour is a publisher backed esports series that integrates into the existing infrastructure of The Collegiate Esports Commissioners Cup, a bracket style event series that takes place every year and has been coined May Madness. The path to championship includes invitational bids to national and regional level conferences as well as official CECC qualifiers held regionally,” said Angela Bernhard Thomas, Chief Esports Officer for CSMG’s ESPORTSU.

Every college or university from a 2-year or 4-year institution can participate through their conference or through select qualifiers. Wim Stocks will serve as the Commissioner of the College Street Fighter Tour and bring his 20 years of experience in college esports to create a dynamic and engaging format of competitive gaming.

“Since the launch of Street Fighter 6 in June of ’23, it is clear the rich legacy of Street Fighter is stronger than ever and helping lift the fighting game community to still greater heights,” said Stocks. “Having a structure now for a national collegiate competitive series, league, and events, Capcom and ESPORTSU are building a phenomenal ecosystem and mechanism for developing up and coming Street Fighter 6 competitors.”

More details on the College Street Fighter Tour will be shared later this year.

CSMG welcomes 84 teams (up from 64 in 2023) this weekend from a record breaking 19 conference champions to the largest scholastic esports festival globally. They will compete at Esports Stadium Arlington on May 3-5 for the chance to hoist one of the coveted trophies. Fans can watch the CECC Texas on ESPORTSU’s Twitch channel at https://www.twitch.tv/esportsu.

CECC Texas 2023 was also recently awarded LAN Event of the Year during the inaugural Scholars Awards in Las Vegas, which are produced in partnership with the Esports Awards.
