Set within a pair of classical marble columns, the reels include lower value apples, plinths and vases, medium value rings, lutes and warrior helmets and higher value winged horses and Greek women. King Midas, who appears to have been modelled on country crooner Kenny Rogers, is the game's wild. As well as substituting for everything bar the scatter, he offers payouts of up to 2,000 coins in his own right.
Before you start spinning, you get to choose a symbol to goldify. When this symbol goes on to land in a winning combination, that payout is boosted by a 5x multiplier. You can change your symbol by clicking on the goldify on the right-hand side of the reels. For example, the Greek woman is worth times your line stake for 5 on a payline rather than 400.
The rose being turned into gold is the scatter - landing 3 or more of these anywhere on the reels triggers the Free Spins Bonus feature. 3 scatters will get you 15 free spins with 3 symbols goldified, 4 awards 50 free spins with 4 symbols goldified with a massive 100 free spins with 5 symbols goldified on offer if you land a full 5 scatters. You can retrigger the feature and earn up to 500 free spins in total!
The ancient world has been well and truly plundered by slots developers so it's good to see that IGT has created something fresh in Goldify. The ability to pick a symbol and boost its payouts potential is a good one, especially in the free spins where the generous allocation of free spins and goldified symbols can reap rich rewards.
There's a nice balance of payouts on offer her with the variance in the medium range. You can win a maximum of 1,873 times your stake on each spin! Well-designed as you'd expect from IGT, Goldify is an entertaining and very playable slot game. Get lucky with that free spins feature and Midas can deliver gold galore. If you like the theme, Ash Gaming’s Midas Millions is a good choice.
