Gold of Minos is a 5-reel, 243-payline video slot from BGaming that draws its inspiration from Greek mythology. The game is set against an intricate golden backdrop, evoking a sense of luxury and opulence. The central figure in this slot is the legendary Minotaur, a half-man, half-bull creature from the tales of King Minos.
The symbols on the reels include high-paying thematic icons such as the Minotaur, King Minos, a golden chalice, and a palace, as well as lower-paying A, K, Q, J, and 10 royals. The Minotaur serves as the game's Wild symbol, substituting for all other symbols to form winning combinations.
The Minotaur Wild is an Expanded Wild, meaning it covers the entire reel when it lands. In addition to its substitution function, the Minotaur Wild also triggers the slot's main Bonus Feature – the Bonus Game. When an Expanded Wild appears, it remains sticky on the reels and initiates a series of respins.
During the Bonus Game, each non-winning spin increases a multiplier on the Progress Bar. The multiplier starts at x1 and doubles with each non-winning spin, potentially reaching up to x1,024. The Bonus Game continues until a winning combination is formed, at which point the accumulated multiplier is applied to the win.
Gold of Minos also includes a Buy Bonus feature, allowing players to purchase direct entry into the Bonus Game. The cost of the Buy Bonus varies depending on which reel (1-3, 4, or 5) the player wants the Expanded Wild to appear on.
The slot's high-end visuals, engaging bonus features, and the potential for substantial wins with the increasing multiplier make Gold of Minos an exciting choice for slot enthusiasts and those fascinated by mythological themes.
