How Rich Wilde and the Tome of Insanity plays
Clusters of four or more touching symbols on a 5x5 grid pay and cascade. Every winning symbol charges a portal: 8, 16 and 30 charges each add 2 to 4 book wilds (the second and third also clear symbols in a set pattern or upgrade a gem to a ritual item), and 48 charges give a single Damnation Free Spin that plays out portal effects, with overcharging adding up to 7. Multiplier wilds bring 2x to 5x in the base game and 2x to 10x in the bonus. Opening every eye on the side map in the bonus summons a 2x2 wild that walks three times, multiplied by any special eyes opened.
Theme: Adventure, cosmic horror. Filed under Adventure and exploration, Horror and dark.
Features in this game
- Cluster pays: A pay system where groups of matching symbols touching each other on the grid win, with no lines or reels-from-the-left rule.
- Cascading reels: After a win, the winning symbols are removed and new ones fall into the gaps, giving another chance to win from the same stake.
- Walking wilds: A wild that moves one position or reel along the grid on each respin, awarding a free respin each time until it walks off.
- Multipliers: A value such as ×2 or ×10 applied to a win, a spin or a whole feature, multiplying the amount paid.
- Symbol upgrades: A feature that turns lower-paying symbols into higher-paying ones, or removes low symbols, for the rest of a spin or bonus.
- Free spins: A bonus round of spins played at no extra cost, usually triggered by scatter symbols and often with extra features.
What the figures mean
An RTP of 96.20% is a long-run average across millions of spins. It works out at a house edge of 3.80%, so every £100 staked costs £3.80 on average. A session of 200 spins at £1 stakes £200, and the expected cost of that session is £7.60, although the real result will usually land a long way either side. Work out your own figures.
The provider rates volatility as Medium (provider score 6/10). That describes how winnings are spread: higher volatility means longer runs with little back and rarer, larger wins. It does not change the average. More on volatility, or see it in a simulation.
