Every once in a while we get to play an online video slot that actually has a story component to it. Rich Wilde has been a protagonist of several slots made by Play’n GO, and he is now back once again to help slot lovers find hidden treasures.
This time, he is about to go on a Lovecraftian adventure to try to decipher the forces of evil and get rewarded in the process. Naturally, all players have to do is spin the reels and let Rich Wilde start his exploration quest.
Rich Wilde is a popular protagonist among those who like to play online casino games, especially slots. Wilde’s first adventure was in Latin America where he explored ancient civilisations in the Rich Wilde and the Aztec Idols online video slot. He then went to India in a slot called Rich Wilde and the Pearls of India. Finally, wanderlust led him to Egypt where he explored ancient tombs in a slot named Rich Wilde and the Book of Dead.
The Tome of Madness offers a unique new quest that is completely different from all other Rich’s adventures. Inspired by Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos, this 5x5 slot brings valuable rewards to lucky players. It has a 5x5 reel grid, which is a non-standard reel structure. Furthermore, the game features cascading symbols. Therefore, whenever you make a combo, the symbols that were part of it will disappear and make room for new ones to drop into the grid. That paves the way for additional combos and many other interesting prizes.
The symbols on the reels include various precious stones of different colours, and they are low-value symbols. On the other hand, Cthulhu skull, daggers, rings, and others represent high-value symbols, some of which can give you up to 100x your stake.
The Portal Meter
The game also features a Portal Meter located to the left of the grid. The meter is filled every time you make a cascading win. However, when you have a losing cascade, the meter goes back to zero.
The number of symbols you manage to combine in a single spin will trigger special features in The Portal Meter. For example, if you manage to collect seven symbols during a single spin, you will be rewarded with two Special Wilds that will be inserted into the grid.
Moreover, if you manage to cascade 14 symbols, you will not only receive two Special Wilds but also trigger the Abyss Portal Effect, if one of the Special Wilds is part of a combo.
Combining a total of 27 symbols will also grant you two Special Wilds, except that they will trigger the Void Portal Effect feature if they are a part of a combo.
Finally, if you are really lucky to combine 42+ symbols, The Portal Meter will grant you the Other World Free Round bonus.
As you can see, there are plenty of special features that enhance the spinning experience and offer players a chance to win hefty rewards!
