Rich Wilde and the Amulet of Dead Review

Just when we thought the old man was lost in a tomb somewhere, and his daughter had taken over the show completely, Rich Wilde bursts onto the ‘Book of’ scene for another ancient Egypt adventure. Rich Wilde and the Amulet of Dead is visually similar to everyone and his grandmother’s favorite, Book of Dead, but you can choose the number of paylines in this spin-off.

There is also the added twist of the stacked wild multiplier, and this might benefit you both in the base game and during the bonus round. The stacked wilds can even step in for the chosen expanding symbol, boosting your payout with up to 5x. True to the genre, the max win is capped at 5,000x the stake, which is an average payout potential found in many other book slots.

Rich Wilde and the Amulet of Dead Features

The Thoth wild will land on reels 2, 3, and 4 only, and it can also land stacked. It will step in for all regular symbols like wilds usually do, and it triggers the Thoth Multiplier feature when it lands fully stacked. More specifically, you will benefit from a 2x, 3x, or 5x multiplier when you land 1, 2, or 3 fully stacked Thoth Wilds, respectively. The multiplier applies to all wins, even if the stacked wild is not involved in the winning combo.

The Amulet scatter can land on all reels, and 5 anywhere awards 100x your stake without the stacked wild multiplier.

The scatter serves double duty as an extra wild symbol also, and landing 3 scatters anywhere triggers the bonus round. You get 10 free spins, and a symbol will be chosen upfront to be the special expanding symbol during the feature.

If you land enough of the special symbol anywhere, it will expand to the size of the reels to give you a winning combo after the regular payout calculation. The chosen symbol does not need to land adjacent to win, and a fully expanded Thoth wild can step in for the special symbol. You get 10 new free spins if you land 3+ amulet scatters during the bonus round.

All wins can be gambled in a classic double or nothing fashion. You will guess the correct color or suit of facedown cards, and this will either double or quadruple your winnings.

Guess wrong, however, and you lose everything. This can be done up to 5 times in a row.

The 200 Spins Rich Wilde and the Amulet of Dead Experience

We had a pretty good time testing this game, and we’ve put together a brief and edited highlights video you can check out below. Nothing too exciting happened in the base game, but the bonus round was quite a thrill ride.

Review Summary

It’s easy to forget sometimes, but Rich Wilde became legendary because of Book of Dead, a game that tends to overshadow his appearance in it. Nobody calls it Rich Wilde and the Book of Dead after all, like we do with follow-up titles like this. Rich Wilde and the Amulet of Dead comes with the twist of up to 5x multipliers for 3 stacked wilds, which makes it seem less likely you’ll ever hit the win cap of this thing.

You can choose the number of paylines, which is also a bit odd, but punters following the ‘one line theory’ might be excited about this. The volatility is high, albeit less brutal than in Book of Dead, but 5 of the highest value symbols fully stacked pays only 1,000x your stake. All up, it's a decent alternative to numerous clones of the legendary Book of Dead, yet still not the best combination of stats and features found on the market.

Pros

• Up to 5x multiplier for 3 stacked wilds
• Bonus round w/ chosen expanding symbol
• Win up to 5,000x your stake per spin

Cons

• Beware of customizable RTP ranges
