Gold of Minos

The Minotaur in Gold of Minos does more than substitute for other symbols. When it lands outside a winning combination, it expands to fill its entire reel, locks in place, and starts a respin sequence where the multiplier doubles every barren spin: 2x, 4x, 8x, all the way to 1,024x. BGaming built this 5x3, 243-ways slot around that single escalating mechanic, pairing it with a 96.0% RTP and a 15,360x max win that only opens when the multiplier compounds deep. Available on desktop and mobile, and playable with crypto at Wild.io.

What is Gold of Minos?

Gold of Minos is a 5x3 video slot from BGaming with a 96.0% RTP, medium-high volatility, and a top win of 15,360x your bet. Its standout mechanic is an Expanding Wild Minotaur that triggers a Respin Bonus with a multiplier that doubles on each non-winning spin, reaching up to 1,024x.

The 243 ways to win format means matching symbols only need to land on adjacent reels from left to right, with no fixed payline restrictions. The Minotaur Wild is both the premium symbol and the sole bonus trigger: when it lands and does not immediately contribute to a win, the Expanded Wild Respin begins. The Buy Bonus feature lets players choose which reel they want the Wild to land on, each at a different price, because a later-reel trigger preserves more spin attempts before the bonus completes.

How To Play Gold of Minos Slot - Step By Step

Head to Wild.io and create a free account to start playing Gold of Minos.

1. Load Gold of Minos at Wild.io and set your bet. The 243 ways to win are always active with no payline selection needed.
2. Spin to build base-game wins via the premium themed symbols and card rank symbols landing on adjacent reels.
3. Watch for the Minotaur Wild. If it lands and does not form part of a winning combination, it expands to cover its full reel and the Expanded Wild Respin Bonus starts.
4. During the bonus, the multiplier opens at 1x and doubles with every spin that does not produce a win: 2x, 4x, 8x, continuing upward to 1,024x maximum.
5. The first spin that produces a winning combination ends the bonus and applies the current multiplier to that win.
6. Use Buy Bonus to purchase the respin with the Wild positioned on reel 1 (cheapest) through reel 5 (most expensive), paying more for a starting position that allows more potential multiplier doublings.

Gold of Minos Slot Theme & Graphics

Gold of Minos takes the Minoan myth seriously enough that the visual design centres on the maze and its guardian rather than on generic Greek imagery. The grid sits against stone architecture with torch-lit golden accents, and the high-value symbol set features King Minos, a golden chalice, and a palace facade alongside the Minotaur himself who spans the full reel when he triggers the bonus.

The art style is detailed and warm rather than neon-bright, leaning on gold and terracotta tones. On mobile the Expanding Wild animation has enough visual weight to communicate clearly without requiring a large screen, and BGaming's standard smooth reel mechanics mean the game runs without frame drops during the respin sequence. The mythology theme slots it alongside other ancient-world releases in BGaming's catalog.

Gold of Minos Slot Symbols & Paytables

Gold of Minos keeps its symbol set compact so attention stays on the Minotaur Wild and the way it reshapes a spin.

Low Value Symbols

The low-value symbols are the five standard playing card ranks: A, K, Q, J, and 10. On a 243-ways layout, combinations form whenever these land on adjacent reels from left to right, without needing to occupy specific paylines. This makes small wins more frequent than on a traditional payline game. The card ranks pay small multiples of your bet for three, four, or five matching symbols across adjacent reels, producing the minor hits that sustain base-game momentum. Hit frequency sits at 6.0%, so players will see more of these card-rank wins than premium symbol combinations.

High Value Symbols

The high-value symbols are the four Minoan-themed premiums: King Minos, a golden chalice, a palace facade, and the Minotaur himself. The Minotaur pays the highest amounts for symbol combinations in the base game, and its role as the Expanding Wild makes it doubly valuable. King Minos and the golden chalice occupy the middle tier of the paytable, while the palace symbol pays at the lower end of the premium range. On a 243-ways grid, landing all five of a high-value symbol across consecutive reels awards the full five-of-a-kind value for that symbol.

Special Symbols

The Minotaur is the only special symbol in Gold of Minos and serves as both the Wild and the Respin trigger. As a Wild it substitutes for all other symbols when part of a winning combination. When it lands and does not immediately contribute to a win, it expands to fill its entire reel and locks in place for the duration of the Expanded Wild Respin Bonus. During the bonus it remains in that expanded position, giving every respin a full locked wild reel. There is no separate Scatter symbol; the Minotaur carries both functions.

Gold of Minos Bonus Feature & Special Features

Expanded Wild Respin Bonus

Gold of Minos's Respin Bonus begins whenever the Minotaur Wild lands on a reel without forming a winning combination. The Minotaur expands to fill the entire reel it landed on, locking in place, and a respin sequence starts with the multiplier set at 1x. Each subsequent spin that fails to complete a winning combination doubles the multiplier: 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x, continuing upward. The multiplier can reach 1,024x before the bonus must conclude. The first spin that produces a win ends the sequence and applies the current multiplier to that winning combination. A Minotaur on reel 5 with a deep multiplier running is the scenario that produces wins near the 15,360x maximum, because the bonus only ends on the first win after a long multiplier build. Players who buy the bonus can select which reel the Wild lands on: reel 1 costs the least but starts the multiplier build from a position with fewer potential non-win spins, while reel 5 costs the most but opens with a full reel of wild coverage that might allow more multiplier doublings before a win resolves.

Buy Bonus

Gold of Minos offers a tiered Buy Bonus where players pay to trigger the Expanded Wild Respin from a specific reel. Five price points correspond to the five reel positions. Choosing reel 1 is the cheapest option and places the expanded Minotaur on the leftmost reel, creating an immediate win on almost any combination and typically ending the bonus quickly at a low multiplier. Choosing reel 5 costs the most and positions the expanded Wild on the rightmost reel, meaning wins require symbols to fill reels 1 through 4 and the multiplier has more opportunity to build during non-winning respins. The buy price adjusts proportionally with bet size.
