All Filipinos are familiar with the sensations of a "hot spin." Suddenly, a little stake is doing something that's much more interesting, as three symbols land, a multiplier stacks. It is the moment itself which the King Midas theme is about.

This is a legend that is as old and simple as its name. A king was granted a wish by which everything he touched would turn to gold, but that wish didn't work until it did. Over the years, casino designers have been stealing that story for the two things that make a good slot: Gold everywhere on the reels, and an excuse for multipliers.

In OKGames, the King Midas is like the gold rush, in a legal online casino accessible from your phone.

King Midas is one of the other studios in the complete provider directory at OKGames. It clusters a collection of games together amongst one roof, alongside other lobbies on the site, to allow you to navigate by game genre instead of sifting through the entire catalogue.

The games in this corner are based on a single concept: to transform common symbols into gold ones. If the title is one that appears in the list, that will display as:

• Golden touch transformations – a base symbol is turned to gold in the middle of the spin and pays at a different rate.
• The cascading and cumulative nature of multipliers on top of each other when they win in a row.
• The prospect of collecting a bonus by filling up a gold collection meter over multiple spins.
• Rounds with free spins automatically included whenever you win.

There is nothing difficult with this. You're looking for gold and gold is more.

If the Midas theme is your ticket, OKGames has a large lineup of games based on the concept of how to make money. To be explored along with King Midas:

Both God of Wealth and 8888 Fortunes are based on prosperity symbolism that will be immediately recognizable. Golden Empire and Treasures of Aztec both offer the Greek myth in exchange for lost-civilisation gold, and have cascading reels which extend the life of one spin. Wealth of Tiger is in the middle, while Money Tree and Fortune Gems 3 are easier.

If you are a fan of Midas, then you should consider two studios: PG Soft and Pragmatic Play both offer their own Midas games, and both are well represented throughout the OKPlay slots lobby.

For those who prefer something that will resolve in seconds rather than minutes, you'll find mini games, which includes colour game, crash and dice.

1. Register – Register to their cell phone number and go through verification. The OKGames app provides you the smoothest experience on a phone.
2. Fund your wallet – The fastest clearance time for payments is e-wallets and bank transfers. Always check current promotions first — extends spins.
3. Click on 'King Midas lobby' and select 'sort by' - sort by title or volatility.
4. Try demo mode where a game offers it, so you can learn the bonus triggers before staking.
5. Play at the smallest bet possible. Gold-themed slots tend to have a bonus round, and you need a lot of spins to get to the bonus round.

This is the section that most players miss and it's the section that will make or break a session.

The slots with gold and multiplier feature high volatility. This results in lower pay outs, but higher pay outs when they do occur. It's still the same mathematical probability for the published RTP over the long term, but in chunks instead of dribbles.

In practice, it translates to two things:

• Dry periods take a toll on your bankroll. A high volatility game can play a game and not have a winning spin in it, and it can still be on target. If you have only 40 spins and the stake you are playing you will probably never see the feature of the game it's based on.
• The selection of games is less important than bet size. It's better to stick to the same titles and double your spin count when you have a cold streak than to change titles when you have a cold streak.

All honest slots use a Random Number Generator, and independent testing companies test that software to ensure that the Return to Player percentage is accurate over millions of simulated spins.

There are two points that need to be understood:

• Spins are independent. One game that has not paid for an hour will not be "due." Probability of next spin is always the same as the first.
• RTP is an average over time. A 96% return is a reflection of an incredible and large sample of the return, it is not a reflection of wagers you made in your next session.

Please see the paytable of a specific game for the RTP and volatility rating. These differ from game to game and the number above the game is the one that is relevant.

• Before you open the app, determine the amount that you can afford to spend on it; consider it an expense, not an investment.
• Stakes should match the length of your session. Choose the amount of time you wish to play and split it accordingly.
• Go over the bonus trigger. A spin is read differently if you know if you need three scatters or a collection meter.
• Avoid the assumption of a near-due bonus round. In slots, the most costly assumption that you make is increasing your bet if a feature requires it to be near.
• Take the win. A good session is finished when you're ahead, not when you get to 0.

The legal online gambling age in the Philippines is 18 and residents are only allowed to play in a designated jurisdiction. It must never be used as a means of earning, stress management or a means to get out of paying bills.

If your game is no longer fun, you can use some of the responsible gaming features available in your account to place limit on your deposits, loss limits, self-exclusion and reminders to keep playing within limits. Counselling is available at Bridges of Hope in the Philippines and Gamblers Anonymous is available throughout the world.
