How Rich Wilde and the Tome of Madness plays
Clusters of four or more touching symbols on a 5x5 grid pay and cascade. Wins charge a Portal: at 7, 14 and 27 winning symbols two Special Wilds are added, and at the higher steps a win with them sets off Abyss (clears a row or column) or Void (removes every copy of one symbol). Eye Marks open when a win forms on them. At 42 winning symbols the Other World free round starts with three or more Portal effects, and opening all its eyes brings in a Mega Wild Cthulhu that slides down the grid.
Theme: Adventure, Lovecraftian horror (Cthulhu). 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.
- Expanding wilds: A wild symbol that grows to cover its whole reel (or more) when it lands, substituting in every position it covers.
- 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 96.59% is a long-run average across millions of spins. It works out at a house edge of 3.41%, so every £100 staked costs £3.41 on average. A session of 200 spins at £1 stakes £200, and the expected cost of that session is £6.82, 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 5/10). 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.
