It took me a while to understand this one – if you look carefully at the grid you will see a letter “I” of sorts laid out across a large portion of the available positions. Scoring a win in any of these spots will result in the portal adding two extra wilds to the reels, which can help you to build up your portal meter very quickly. At first, I thought the wilds were random, and the way the feature is described in the paytable does not help matters. Play’N’Go could do better here.

The portal is the eye-shaped object positioned to the top right of the play area. This is partly why I was confused by the Eye Marks feature – I figured it must have something to do with this portal, but didn’t realize that the highlighted squares formed the letter “I” for more than half the time I was testing this slot.

The portal is a very useful feature because it tells you the meaning of life each time you glance at it and it also behaves like a clock in that each time you reach one of the horizontal or vertical positions (3,6,9,12) it will throw you some wilds onto the reels. If you win with one of the special wilds thrown out by the portal, a secondary “Abyss” feature will begin and remove a row or column from the playfield. After “Abyss” has done its business (ahem), a tertiary feature will then be awarded by the portal named “Void”. The void feature picks one symbol and removes all of them from the playfield, giving you an excellent chance of hitting further wins.

In short, if you can get the portal just to the three o'clock position, the features it awards you can often propel you all the way to the bonus round. 

All those portal effects can do even more than what is described in the previous section – the special book wilds can trigger multiplier wilds which feature the image of Riche Wilde himself (Rob Banks does not appear in this game – I don’t see him in my crystal ball either… perhaps they’ve had a falling out?).

Finally, the mega wild symbol is a 3x3 monster that moves down the grid awarding multiple wins as it does so. I never saw this during regular play, but it is possible according to the game’s documentation.

After collecting 42 cascading winning symbols, the game will let you know you are being transported to another world. I have to say, I was a little disappointed to still find myself at my messy desk once I got there – alas, I guess slot developers can’t do everything… yet. I  have high hopes for Virtual Reality slot games in the future. 

For the time being though, we’ll have to accept that, despite how it may appear, you definitely are being transported to another world where portal effects such as the previously mentioned Abyss and Void occur on every spin, and 4 special wilds are added to the grid seemingly every spin.

The paytable states that 11 or 12 “eye marks” are visible during the bonus round and if you score a win in all of these positions then Cthulhu will be summoned and ensure that the end of your feature goes out with a bang.

Every time I made it to this stage,I seemed to trigger the Cthulhu bonus, but my win was typically only around 100x stake – far less than the games maximum pay out of 2,000x your stake. Maybe I was just unlucky, but I ended up playing a whole lot of bonus rounds with a top win of just 181x my stake… a little disappointing considering I triggered the best possible feature on every occasion.

That said, if it wasn’t for Cthulhu, I would have finished these rounds with extremely poor results – on the whole, I didn’t feel disappointed with my bonus rounds, despite not winning any life-changing sums.

So, what to make of Rich Wild and the Tome of Madness video slot? Honestly, I’m still not quite sure. It definitely has more going on than Book of Dead, but does that make it better? I’m not convinced. The modifiers appear to have so much potential, yet the wins I received speak fror themselves. Other review sites reckon this is a high variance game – I would argue that this is medium variance at best. It all comes down to what you enjoy in a slot, and for me, this one just didn’t quite do it. Maybe next time, eh Rich?
