Rich Wilde and the Pearls of Vishnu – Overview
Play’n Go has released a new online slot game with their main character, Rich Wilde.
This character is always traveling the world looking for treasure in a big range of different slot games already, like for instance Rich Wilde and the Amulet of Dead and Rich Wilde and the Wandering City. In this new game he is visiting, what seems like, India, hence the name of the Hindu God Vishnu in the title.
The game uses 5 reels that are each 3 symbols high and the slot uses 20 lines. It also comes with tumbling reels, meaning that winning symbols are removed from the reels and the rest of the symbols fall down, new symbols then fall on top to create the option for a new win. On the right of the reels you will also find a multiplier, which will go up after each winning tumble, up to a maximum of x10.
Besides low paying card symbols and high paying Indian symbols you will also find wild symbols on all reels, which is Rich Wilde. There are also scatter symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5. And lastly bonus symbols, which are collected each time they land, which can also appear on all reels.
Rich Wilde and the Pearls of Vishnu comes with a low maximum payout of only 2.000 times your bet and is a medium volatile slot game.
Features
Free Spins Feature
3 scatter symbols will award 10 free spins.
During free spins the scatter symbols will now act as an extra wild symbol. And will also always be collected into a meter on the left.
Each time you have collected 5 of them, you get 5 extra free spins. Up to a maximum of 50. But also the multipliers on the right will increase in values.
Bonus Game
During the base spins, each special bonus symbol is collected into a meter on the left. When you have collected 15 of them, you will trigger the bonus game.
The bonus game has 3 different levels which you can complete.
- First stage – Wheel of Brahma – Spin the wheels and get rewards for landing on certain images. Land the complete key to move to stage 2
- Second stage – Wall of Shiva – Pick tiles to get cash values, find the key to move to stage 3
- Third stage – Statue of Vishnu – Pick a pearl to reveal your reward
Each new stage will award bigger rewards.
Verdict
For me this is a pretty decent, although, basic slot game.
It uses the tumbling reels, much like Gonzo’s Quest by NetEnt, with the connected multipliers. But also a bonus game that triggers by collecting symbols. And the bonus game seems to trigger rather fast. Of course the bonus game is something we’ve seen before from Play’n Go, like on Hugo.
Then you have free spins which are interesting because of the re-triggers and higher multipliers.
But overall, it all stays a little lukewarm, because of the maximum payout. It’s on the low side, which means that wins aren’t ever really big.
I think this is a solid game for wagering bonuses. Bonuses appear quite often and the game doesn’t deplete your bankroll quickly.
Rather than that, for me it’s a bit too basic.
But be sure to check out Rich Wilde and the Pearls of Vishnu for yourself and let me know what you think? Now available at all trusted Play’n Go casinos.
