The Tome of Madness is a slot utilising the cascade reel mechanics. This is a crammed with features title, playable across desktop and handheld devices, and accepting bets in the range 0.10-£100 per spin.
The features and symbols you will hope to line up when you get the reels spinning include multiplier wild, special wild, Abyss Portal Effect, Void Portal Effect, Other World Free Round feature, Eye Marks. The regular symbols you will land include low-value gemstones, as well as high paying scull, ring, dagger, and octopus.
Cascading Grid
To score a win, you need to form clusters of at least 4 winning symbols. The winning clusters disappear and new ones appear on the reels to potentially form yet another winning cluster.
Eye Marks
The Eye Marks appear randomly on the grid. If you form a winning cluster where the eye mark location is covered, two wilds will be added to the grid.
Portal
Right next to the grid, you will see a Portal, as well as a meter that charges the Portal with winning symbols, and triggers the special features. Here is what you get when you fill the meter with a certain number of symbols:
- 7 symbols – 2 special wilds are added to the grid
- 14 symbols – 2 special wilds are added to the grid. A chance to trigger the Abyss Portal Effect as long as a special wild is a part of a winning cluster
- 27 symbols – 2 special wilds are added to the grid. A chance to trigger the Void Portal Effect when a special wild is a part of a winning cluster
- 42 symbols – the Other World Free Round is activated
Abyss Portal Effect
A row or a column containing a special wild is removed and a new drop is created. The removed symbols are also collected in the Portal.
Void Portal Effect
A randomly picked standard symbol is removed from the grid. The removed symbols contribute to the charge of the Portal meter
Mega Wild Cthulhu
If you open all eyes by forming wins in the eye’s locations, the Mega Wild Cthulhu comes into play. It moves down with every spin until it disappears from the grid.
Bottom Line
The Rich Wilde and the Tome of Madness promises fast-paced gameplay, impressive image quality, and huge winning potential. What else a player may ask for? After a few mediocre releases, this time around, Play’n GO is about to release a slot that will most probably outshine the original in terms of popularity and payouts.
