Gift of Midas

Gift of Midas is a 5x3 slot from Endorphina, released on 30 July 2026, running 10 fixed paylines at an RTP of 96.06% with high volatility. It shares its ten-line skeleton with the studio’s Groovin’ Tiger, but the paytable and the free games are on an entirely different scale – the ceiling here is 6,500x.

The Myth, Used Properly

The framing is the Midas story and Endorphina tells it straight: the king who wished that everything he touched would turn to gold, and who did not think the wish through. The studio’s own description is dry about the consequences – his daughter, his meals – before promising that the only thing turning gold here will be the payouts.

On screen that means a marble terrace at dusk, cypress trees and mountains behind a balustrade, flowering vines down both edges. Midas himself sits above the grid in gold, a goblet raised in each hand, a cat at his feet. It is restrained by the standards of mythology slots – no lightning, no thunder, just a very expensive-looking patio.

Three Urns, Three Free Games

Set on the balustrade are three urns of cut gems: green, red and blue. Endorphina promises “a trio of colorful Free Games”, and the screenshots confirm the three urns correspond to three free-spin rounds of different lengths.

The counters caught across the shots read FREE GAMES 2/15, FREE GAMES 8/30, FREE GAMES 12/30 and FREE GAME 18 OF 45. So the three rounds run 15, 30 and 45 spins – a genuinely long bonus at the top end, and a structure that tells you which urn you are in the moment the round starts.

The Expanding Symbols Round

The shortest of the three is also the most aggressive. A golden book opens across the reels announcing 15 FREE GAMES! with EXPAND stamped across it, and the round that follows uses expanding symbols: a symbol that lands fills its entire reel rather than a single cell.

The screenshots show what that does to a ten-line game. One catches closed treasure chests occupying the whole of the first two reels with the counter at 3/15 and the strip reading “FREE SPIN PAYS €400.00” against a total of €798.43. Another, deeper into a 30-spin round, has a solid block of red A symbols across three full reels and a win of €5,600.00. Fifteen spins is fewer, but each one can cover far more of the grid.

The Reels Turn Gold

The visual signal for the bonus is the neatest touch in the game. In the base round the reel frames are deep blue with gold trim. The moment a free-games round begins, the entire grid turns to solid gold – frames, cells and all – and the symbols sit on burnished panels instead.

It is the Midas touch applied to the machine itself, and it does real work: you never have to check a counter to know which mode you are in. One screenshot shows the golden grid part-filled with laurel wreaths, another a complete screen of blue J symbols across all fifteen positions, and a third every cell occupied by the green 10 with the total reading €6,600.00 against a €40 bet.

Symbols And Paytable

The paytable, shown at a €40.00 stake, is steep. The Open Chest leads at €20,000.00 for five, €4,000.00 for four and €600.00 for three – that is 500x, 100x and 15x the base bet. The Golden Chalice follows at €8,000.00 for five, or 200x.

Below them the Laurel Wreath and the Golden Apple both pay €3,000.00 for five – 75x – and the card ranks fill in underneath: A and K at €600.00, Q, J and 10 at €400.00. Crucially, the four premium symbols also pay two of a kind, which is rare and keeps a ten-line game ticking over far better than the line count suggests.

The Wild And The Tokens

The Golden Temple is the wild. It appears in the main game, substitutes for everything, and pays 500x the total bet for five of its own – matching the top regular symbol, which makes it a genuine prize rather than a substitution.

The Tokens work as they do in the studio’s other recent releases, with one important difference: here they appear in both the main game and the Free Games. They cover other symbols, and when they fly off the reels whatever was hidden underneath is revealed and can complete a combination. On a gold grid during a 45-spin round that adds a second layer of uncertainty to every spin.

Bonus Pop And The Risk Game

The orange BONUS POP button sits permanently to the left of the reels – Endorphina’s feature buy, and the direct route into one of the three free-games rounds. One screenshot shows the purchase screen open: three golden books on a panel, the header reading 15 FREE GAMES! WITH THE EXPANDING SYMBOLS FEATURE, and a price of €4,960.00 against the €40 stake. That is 124x the bet for the expanding-symbols round – a steep entry, and a number worth checking against your own stake before pressing it.

The studio also keeps its card gamble, which can be climbed up to ten times: beat the dealer’s face-up card with one of your own and the win doubles, with the option to stop at every rung.

RTP, Volatility And The Ceiling

The 96.06% RTP is at the top of Endorphina’s current range. The high volatility is real and it is earned rather than nominal – a 6,500x ceiling on ten lines means the distribution has a long tail and a thin middle.

The arithmetic is worth spelling out. Five Open Chests pays 500x; the ceiling is thirteen times that. Nothing on the paytable gets you there alone, so the top result depends on the free games compounding across 30 or 45 spins – exactly what the €6,600 screenshot is a small sample of.

Stakes And Interface

Bets run from 0.1 to 40. The bottom bar is the studio’s standard layout – FIXED LINES 10, CURRENCY and BET on the left, TURBO, AUTO and SPIN on the right – with a line-win strip that names the paying line after every hit.

Who It Is For

This is for players who like a long free-spins round and a paytable with real numbers on it. The three-urn structure gives the bonus variety that most slots of this type lack, the two-of-a-kind payouts on the premiums keep the base game from feeling dead, and the gold-grid transformation is one of the cleanest mode signals in any recent release.

The reservation is the volatility: ten lines and a 6,500x ceiling means long stretches where nothing much happens, and the 124x Bonus Pop will be tempting for exactly that reason. In return you get a properly generous bonus structure, a 500x wild, and a game that looks more expensive than most mythology slots on the market.
