The Golden Touch

The Golden Touch is a 5-reel, 3-row video slot from TaDa Gaming that reached casino lobbies in October 2026. It plays on 15 fixed paylines and builds everything around a hand reaching out to a Wild frame: the Epic Wild, which freezes the winning symbols and keeps respinning with a growing multiplier. The top prize is 15,000x the stake, and a Buy Bonus button opens two ways straight into the free spins.

A Greek Hall Of Columns And Treasure

The reels sit between two golden pillars under an arched temple ceiling, and the colour of the hall changes with the mood: a rosy red in the main game, a bright gold when the multiplier is running. The high symbols are a laurel-crowned young king, an open treasure chest, a green goblet and a sapphire ring, each shown on a coloured tile and again on a golden tile when it is part of a win. The low group is made of carved stone tablets with the values 9, 10, J, Q, K and A.

The paytable is dynamic and is shown at a bet of 0.6. At that stake the king pays 3.00 for five of a kind, 2.40 for four and 0.60 for three, the chest pays 2.40, 1.80 and 0.48, the goblet 1.80 for five and the ring 1.50 for five. Only the highest win on each payline is paid.

Wild And Epic Wild

The Wild is a hand touching a purple frame. It lands on reels 1 to 5, carries an x2 multiplier, and when several Wilds take part in one win their multipliers are multiplied together. It also pays on its own: 6.00 for five, 3.60 for four and 1.20 for three at the 0.6 bet.

The red-framed version is the Epic Wild. When it appears, every symbol that forms a winning combination is locked in place and the reels respin until no new winning symbol or Wild shows up. The Epic Wild starts at x2 and gains +1 with every respin in the base game, so a chain can show x3, x4, x5 and higher on the Wilds.

Because the winning symbols stay locked, each respin starts from a reel set that already contains winners, and the chain goes on until a spin brings neither a new winning symbol nor a new Wild. Scatters that arrive during a base-game Epic Wild respin also count: the total gathered in that round decides whether the free spins start and how many are awarded.

Free Spins With A Guaranteed Epic Wild

The scatter is a golden temple door. Landing 3 scatters gives 8 free spins, 4 give 10 and 5 or more give 12. Inside the feature the rules get kinder:

• At least one Epic Wild is guaranteed on every spin.
• All Epic Wilds share one multiplier, which rises by +2 per respin and carries over from spin to spin until the round ends.
• Scatters that land during a free spin or an Epic Wild respin fill a progress bar, and every 3 collected adds 2 more free spins.

The counter in the top corner shows the current multiplier, and in the demo pictures it climbs from x4 through x10 up to x30 over a single feature.

Gift of Midas, Extra Bet And Buy Bonus

Any spin can trigger the random Gift of Midas. It resolves as either a Scatter Event, which drops 1 to 5 extra scatters on the reels, or a Wild Event, which adds 1 to 5 Wilds or Epic Wilds.

The Extra Bet switch beside the reels opens two options. The first raises the bet by 1.5x and gives double the chance of reaching the free spins. The second costs more and converts every Wild into an Epic Wild in both the base game and the free spins. Wins in this mode are still calculated from the normal bet, the base amount for the extra bet differs from a regular bet, and a button beside the reels switches the option off again.

The Buy Bonus menu offers a Free Game and a Super Free Game, priced at 60x and 300x the bet, so 36.00 and 180.00 at a 0.6 stake. The Super version starts with all Wilds converted to Epic Wilds. You can buy up to 99 rounds, and each one after the first is started with the spin button.

Stakes, Max Win And RTP

Bets run from 0.20 to 12. The maximum payout is 15,000x the stake, which is 180,000 at the top bet, and a round ends the moment that cap is reached. The listed RTP is 97% with low to medium volatility, so wins should come often and stay moderate until a long Epic Wild chain builds up.

The cap is a rare event: the game states that the maximum multiplier can be won within 100,000,000 rounds of play. Feature rounds use the same bet settings as the spin that triggered them, and the Extra Bet payouts follow the normal paytable values.

What To Watch In The Demo

Follow the number next to the Epic Wild during a respin chain, because that is where almost all of the excitement comes from. Count how many respins a single Wild survives in the main game, then compare it with a free spin, where the multiplier grows twice as fast and never drops back between spins. If a round is interrupted, a bet that has already been placed and can no longer be influenced stays valid, and a malfunction voids all pays.

It suits players who like a simple 15-line layout with one clear feature to watch. Try the free demo first to see how fast the multiplier grows, and set a budget before playing for real.
