I also want to thank CAO Brian Tocheri, and Chief Building Official and Director of Development Don Tedford for their help and support.”

Play’n GO reintroduce their iconic explorer in Rich Wilde and the Tome of Dead, a grid slot where forbidden knowledge, ancient deities, and raw chaos collide.
Rich Wilde returns to face his most perilous discovery yet. Uncovering a cursed tome deep within the sands of myth, Wilde inadvertently releases Ammit – the Devourer of the Dead. This 5×5 cascading grid slot challenges players to manipulate arcane power to seal the beast away. With bold visuals, dynamic mechanics, and a suspenseful storyline, this release elevates the Rich Wilde series with fresh gameplay and a darker, more mythological tone.
Every feature in Rich Wilde and the Tome of Dead serves the story. Charging the Ritual meter unleashes escalating effects, from destructive wilds to symbolic transformations. Opening the All-Seeing Eye can summon Altar Wilds or trigger the Ammit Wild – a fearsome 2×2 force that stalks the reels. With wild multipliers of up to 10x in the bonus round, players are drawn into a high-stakes dance of strategy and suspense. Cascading clusters and progressive chaos keep players engaged as the grid becomes a battleground between man and myth.
Following the acclaimed Rich Wilde and the Tome of Insanity, this instalment expands the character’s universe with a shift from Lovecraftian horror to Egyptian myth, and long-time fans will recognise nods to the iconic Rich Wilde and the Book of Dead. The introduction of Ammit adds an unpredictable antagonist, deepening the lore while maintaining the rich gameplay DNA that defines Wilde’s adventures.
Head of Game Retention, at Play’n GO, George Olekszy, said: “Rich Wilde’s legacy is iconic, and Tome of Dead reinvents it. By weaving layered mechanics into an intense mythos, we’ve created a slot that delivers both tension and spectacle.”
This is Rich Wilde at his most daring – and players will love every tense moment.
