What Is Rich Wilde and the Tome of Dead?

Rich Wilde and the Tome of Dead is Play'n GO’s book-style follow-up in the Wilde line: 5×3, ten lines, expanding free-spin symbols, high volatility, a ~96.21% RTP band, and a 5,000× max-win class.

It sits beside Book of Dead rather than replacing it. Most lobbies still lead with the landmark Book; Tome is the sequel path when you want the same expanding-hit identity with Wilde sequel framing.

This review covers how the free-spin expand works, when base Book or seasonal skins are clearer, and how to verify the cash RTP panel on Top 10 brands.

How Rich Wilde and the Tome of Dead Works

  1. Base game pays on ten fixed lines. The book-style special symbol typically substitutes as wild and collects toward free spins when enough land.
  2. Three or more special symbols trigger free spins and choose (or reveal) one expanding symbol for the feature — same readable loop as Book of Dead.
  3. When enough special symbols land, they expand to fill reels and pay across lines. Full-screen expands remain the classic upside path.
  4. Quiet base stretches are normal at high vol. Treat 5,000× as a ceiling, not a session expectation, and confirm whether your lobby loaded a reduced RTP build.

Key Features

Expanding-book free spins

One chosen symbol expands during free spins to cover reels. The Wilde sequel keeps the landmark book identity intact.

5,000× ceiling

Matches Book of Dead and seasonal editions in our catalog — Tome is not a ceiling upgrade by default.

High volatility

Feature-led returns with quiet base stretches. Stake sizing matters more than sequel branding.

~96.21% RTP band

Preferred Play'n GO headline when the panel matches. Reduced ~94–95% builds still appear — verify after login.
