Rich Wilde & the Tome of Insanity Slot Review

For the Angel of Death spread His wings on the Blast
And breathed in the face of the foes He passed
And the eyes of the Sleepers waxed deadly and chill
And their hearts but once heaved, and forever grew still

This poem from 18th-century English poet Lord Byron 🖋️ is tattooed on the back of Pam Poovy, a 250 lbs blonde who can out-fart and out-belch any man, and kick his ass, too. 💥🥊

She’s one of the characters in Archer, an animated TV series that has as its main character, Sterling Archer, whose code name is Duchess, and who considers himself the world’s most dangerous secret agent. 🕵️

Archer, in turn, reminds me of the hero in our next game, Rich Wilde & the Tome of Insanity slot from Play'n Go. Albeit that this hero is far more competent, sober 🍾🥃🍸, and doesn’t have a thing for lacrosse and designer clothes.

Hopefully, Rich will live up to his name and bring us fortune rather than landing us in disastrous love triangles with voluptuous babes, after escaping KGB agents by piloting planes 🛩️ and driving fast cars 🏎️. Wait a moment, that doesn’t sound terrible at all…

Gameplay

The Rich Wilde slot series centers around a family consisting of Rich, Cat (supposedly his daughter but who looks the same age as her old man), and Uncle Gerard.

The games proved incredibly popular, resulting in at least 10 games (that I can recall) being released into the ether. And that means there’s a lot of expectation around the latest iteration, Rich Wilde & the Tome of Insanity slot.

This game starts with a quote from horror writer H. P. Lovecraft, and the fabled book sits squarely on top of a pentagram which manifests a portal from which a Kraken-like creature erupts.

But that’s not a bad thing. You see, this is your objective: to charge the portal with wins so that you can unleash Yog-Sothoth onto the grid. Alrighty.

I’m not sure what all of this has to do with insanity, but since when do game studios worry about their titles lining up with a game’s content?

The Kraken thing is a 2x2-sized Wild that walks across the grid for the duration of 3 spins, and it can pay 5,000x your bet.

But it’s not the only Wild. There’s also a Book Wild, which can also trigger the portal. And then there’s the Multiplier Wild, with our hero’s mug on it.

This symbol can offer a multiplier of 2x, 3x, 4x, or 5x in the base game, or 2x, 3x, 5x, or 10x in the Free Spins round.

If you land more than one Multiplier Wild at a time, only the highest value is applied, so don’t get greedy. However, a Multiplier Wild and a Yog-Sothoth Wild can be multiplied.

Rich Wilde & the Tome of Insanity slot is a Cluster PaysUnlike traditional paylines, Cluster Pays can award wins when a minimum number of matching symbols land adjacent to each other (vertically or horizontally), forming a cluster. game. A win is formed by landing 4 or more matching symbols that are connected vertically or horizontally. Winning symbols will then be removed with new ones taking their place (called a CascadeOtherwise known as a Tumble, Avalanche, or whatever a studio sees fit to name it. The idea is the same, though; winning symbols get removed, and new ones take their place. This action could result in additional wins, in which case the action continues.).

As for the vital statistics, those are as follows:

RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate.: 96.20%
Volatility RateSlot games can have low, medium, high, or extremely high volatility rates (or a combination thereof).

The less volatile the game, the more often it should pay out, but the lower the amount, the less the payout, as this is in keeping with the risk you’re taking. Volatility rate should be considered in conjunction with a game’s RTP.: Medium

Features

ALL SEEING EYES:

If a win forms across an Eye symbol, this will award you with 2 to 4 Book Wilds. You’ll see the Eyes represented on a grid to the left of the main grid

PORTALS:

Wins charge a Portal and various modifiers can come as a result of these charges:

Ruin: 8 charges award 2 - 4 Book Wilds
Harvest: 16 charges award 2 - 4 Book Wilds. Symbols that are 2 symbols away in a diagonal direction will be destroyed, as well as symbols in a horizontal or vertical position that are 3 symbols away
Abomination: 30 charges award 2 - 4 Book Wilds, and a gem symbol will be upgraded to a ritual item (high-paying symbol)
Damnation: 48 charges award the Free Spins round

DAMNATION FREE SPINS:

You’ll be guaranteed 3 Portal modifiers – Ruin, Harvest, and Abomination. However, the Portal can still be overcharged, leading to an extra Portal modifier for every additional 4 winning symbols (up to a max of 7).

If no wins are achieved after a CascadeOtherwise known as a Tumble, Avalanche, or whatever a studio sees fit to name it. The idea is the same, though; winning symbols get removed, and new ones take their place. This action could result in additional wins, in which case the action continues., 1 random Portal modifier will be triggered.

Damnation Spins end when all of the modifiers have played out.

Performance

The game times out ridiculously fast. Other than that, there were no issues during testing.

Maximum Win

The game’s potential payout is $250,000, which comes from combining a 5,000x multiplier with a $50 bet (the minimum bet is $0.10).

Conclusion

You’ll find 4 games from the Rich Wilde series on BitStarz and invariably, the stats will be pretty similar, with exceptions such as the 10,000x multiplier in Rich Wilde & the Wandering City slot, and a highly volatile math model in Rich Wilde & the Amulet of Dead slot.

The games’ popularity should come as no surprise. The rich tapestry of backstories, detailed imagery, and engaging settings creates a heady, intoxicating mix, and the same can be said for Rich Wilde & the Tome of Insanity slot.

Having said this, Rich Wilde & the Tome of Madness slot also opens with a quote from Lovecraft, and has the same Eye symbols, Portals, 3 Wilds (one of which is also a Kraken-type of creature), and you also need to charge meters with wins.

Clearly, there’s not been much innovation or creativity since the preceding game. Nonetheless, the current game is solid and if you haven’t played a game from this series, you’ll be very pleasantly surprised.
