Rich Wilde and the Pearls of Vishnu Demo
Rich Wilde and the Pearls of Vishnu Slot Review
Rich Wilde is back, and this time, the stakes are higher than ever. Heading deep into the heart of ancient India, Rich searches for the fabled Pearls of Vishnu, mystical jewels known to be guarded by the God of Preservation.
Legend has it that these particular Pearls have untapped power, but are not so easily won. Along the way, Rich must tackle challenges, while unlocking the ancient mysteries of Vishnu’s inner sanctum.
Rich Wilde and the Pearls of Vishnu from Play’n GO is the latest in a long line of Rich Wilde titles. A decade has passed since Rich Wilde first appeared in Book of Dead, and in that time, he has lived a full life as an Explorer in titles like Wandering City and Amulet of Dead.
Following in the footsteps of her father, Cat Wilde has also seen her fair share of action in Incan Quest, Lost Chapter, and Pyramids of Dead. With Rich Wilde getting noticeably older and close to retirement, will Pearls of Vinshu be his last endeavour?
Rich Wilde and the Pearls of Vishnu – Base Game
Base Game & Features
Rich Wilde and the Pearls of Vinshu is a 5-reel, 3-row Video Slot with 20 active pay lines and varying bet sizes between £.€0.20 per spin and £.€100 per spin. Other statistics include an overall RTP of 96.17% and a max win cap of 2,000x your bet.
This game has 4 High-paying and 5 Low-paying symbols in tow, with the highest-paying producing wins of up to 25x your bet. Wins are calculated when 3 or more matching symbols land from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel.
Wilds substitute for all symbols except Scatters and Bonus symbols, awarding a payout of 50x your bet for 5-of-a-kind. Each winning combination that occurs is removed and replaced with new symbols from above, potentially creating or enhancing wins on the reels. This includes the collection of Bonus symbols.
Multiplier Ladder
To the right of the reel set is a special Multiplier Ladder, starting at x1. Each time a winning combination is created, the Multiplier increases to the next step, up to a maximum of x10. With the next spin, the Multiplier Ladder resets to x1.
Bonus Game
During gameplay, special Bonus symbols that land on the reels are collected into a Meter to the left of the reel set. Collecting 15 Bonus symbols in a single spin triggers the Bonus Game.
In the Bonus Game, there are 3 different stages, each containing a unique Bonus Challenge:
- Wheel of Brahma: Spin 3 Rings on a wheel to receive a matching symbol. The final symbol combination is matched against the paytable to determine your Prize or Key for the next stage. If 3 different wins are visible, only the highest-paying will be awarded.
- Wall of Shiva: Grants the opportunity to open Tiles on a Wall. Behind each tile, you will find Prizes or Keys for the next stage.
- Statue of Vishnu: Grants the opportunity to pick the pearl out of the hands of the statue. Pick pearls to determine your Prize.
Each stage of the Bonus Game awards players the opportunity to win larger Prizes than the previous one.

Our Verdict
Rich Wilde may have aged like a fine wine, but the same cannot be said about the latest title he appears in. Pearls of Vinshu is a beautifully crafted slot that wins points for the appearance of Rich Wilde, but it’s not quite the epic adventure we had hoped for.
After consistently tackling the collection of Bonus symbols in the base game, the round can be over as quickly as it began if you fail to secure a Key in the first stage. Collecting 15 Bonus symbols seems a little steep, especially when all 3 stages are not guaranteed.
If we’re being honest, we got more fulfilment from the Multiplier Ladder than any other aspect of the game. Each winning combination is subject to removal thanks to the Cascading Reels function, which boosts the active Multiplier to the next step. All additional wins are then multiplied by this value, up to a maximum of x10.
During Free Spins, Scatters take on the role of Wilds, while the Multiplier Ladder remains active. The collection of Scatters awards additional spins and an increase in Multiplier, optimising your chances of hitting wins, although, statistically, the best you can hope for is 2,000x your bet.
*Rich Wilde and the Pearls of Vinshu is available to play across Casino Sites from the 14th November 2024.
