Play’n Go released Rich Wilde and the Tome of Insanity on May 30 2024. The slot features a younger version of Rich Wilde in a candlelit room. 

In this review, you will learn about the game's dynamics and attractive features.

Game Dynamics 

Once the gameplay begins, you will notice 5 reels and 5 rows. The paylines are cluster pays for landing winning combinations. 

The default RTP is 96.20% while the varying RTPs are 94.20%, 91.20%, 87.20% and 84.20%. 

To get started, you must place a minimum bet of €0.10 or a maximum bet of €100. Once you have placed your bet, you have the chance to achieve the maximum win worth 5000x at medium volatility. 

Your chances of earning the maximum win are 1 in 1000000000. 

During the gameplay, you land both low and high-paying symbols. The lows are four gems while the highs are severed tentacles, portion bottles, cyclopean skulls and pocket watches. 

4 cluster pays earns you 0.1x to 2x while 10 or more cluster pays earn you 3x to 100x. 

Attractive Features 

Wilds

Once you land wilds, they replace all regular paying symbols. If you land book wilds, you may unlock portal effects. 

Landing the Multiplier wild rewards you with 2x, 3x, 4x or 5x during the base game. For the bonus game, you earn 2x, 3x, 5x or 10x for multiplier wilds. 

When more than one wild is part of a winning combination, the one with the highest multiplier is awarded. The exception is when the Multiplier Wild and Yog Sothoth Wild are both part of a winning combination. In that case, the multiplier values are multiplied. 

All-seeing eyes

All Seeing Eyes are available in the base game and are located below the regular paying symbols. You unlock the All-Seeing Eye by forming a win on its location. 

The reward for unlocking the All-Seeing Eye is 2 to 4 book wilds. Once no more wins are formed, the wilds are added. 

Portal feature

During the Portal feature, winning symbols charge a Portal metre. The number of charges determines the number of books you receive.

For 8 charges, your reward is 2 to 4 book wilds while 16 charges award you with an extra 2 to 4 book wilds. 

If you form a win with book wilds, you activate the Harvest Feature. The feature destroys symbols on positions in two ways:

• Located 2 symbols away in all diagonal directions    

• Located 3 symbols away in horizontal and vertical directions

Once you have 30 charges, your reward is 2 to 4 book wilds and activates Abomination. The feature upgrades gems to ritual items. 

Reaching 48 charges will unlock Damnation Free Spins. 

Damnation free spins

Once you achieve 48 charges and unlock Damnation Free Spins, you access 3 Portal features. When the Portal is overcharged, you unlock an extra Portal feature with every 4 additional winning symbols. 

You can only earn up to 7 Portal features.

When there are no wins when a cascade occurs, a random feature triggers until all are used up. Once every All-Seeing eye is opened, it summons the Yog Sothoth wild while unlocking 4, 5 or 6 All-Seeing Multiplier Eyes with 2x, 3x or 4x applied to it.  

The round ends when all Portal effects are played out. 

Verdict

You can head straight to the bonus round but you will not mind it. The features including Damnation Free Spins, Yog Sothoth Wilds and Multiplier Wilds will give you a thrilling, immersive and enjoyable gameplay experience.
