Rich Wilde and the Tome of Madness – Play'n GO Slot at Elabet

Game Profile

Rich Wilde and the Tome of Madness is a high-volatility slot by Play'n GO, inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos universe. It is played on a 5x5 grid using a cascading mechanic. Wins are formed by clusters of 4 or more identical symbols connected horizontally or vertically, with no traditional paylines. Available at Elabet under full ΕΕΕΠ licensing for players aged 21 and over.

Game Information

Symbols

The grid contains 4 low-value symbols (coloured runes) and 4 high-value symbols (skull, ring, sword, Cthulhu), plus 3 special Wild types:

• Special Wild (Book): Substitutes for all standard symbols and can trigger a Portal Effect.
• Multiplier Wild (Rich Wilde): Doubles (x2) the return of any cluster it participates in.
• Mega Wild (Cthulhu): Appears as a giant symbol only during the Other World Free Round. Moves down one row with each Cascade.

Portal Meter

Every symbol that forms part of a winning cluster charges the Portal Meter. A failed cascade (no new cluster forming) resets the meter to zero. Milestones trigger the following:

• 7 symbols: Adds 2 Special Wilds to the grid.
• 14 symbols: Adds 2 Special Wilds + activates the Abyss Portal Effect (removes a row or column containing a winning Special Wild).
• 27 symbols: Adds 2 Special Wilds + activates the Void Portal Effect (removes all instances of a randomly selected symbol from the grid).
• 42 symbols: Triggers the Other World Free Round.

Reaching each milestone and the appearance of Portal Effects is not guaranteed. Terms & Conditions apply.

Eye Marks

Certain grid positions are marked with an Eye symbol. When a winning cluster forms on a marked position and no further new clusters are available, the Eye opens and 2 Special Wilds are added to the grid.

Other World Free Round

The feature activates when the Portal Meter reaches 42 symbols. The player receives 1 free spin and 3 Portal Effects (up to 7 if the meter is overcharged before activation). During the feature:

• The Mega Wild (Cthulhu) appears and moves down one row with each Portal Effect used.
• Each Portal Effect activates when no new winning clusters form.
• The feature ends when all Portal Effects have been used.

Triggering the Other World Free Round is not guaranteed. Terms & Conditions apply.

How to Play

1. Select your stake (€0.10 – €20.00 per spin).
2. Press «Spin». Wins form when 4 or more identical symbols connect horizontally or vertically.
3. Winning symbols are removed and new ones fall in (Cascade) — the round continues as long as new clusters form.
4. Each symbol in a winning cluster charges the Portal Meter.

The game is available in Demo mode without a real-money balance.
