Who on earth is Rich Wilde?!

Rich Wilde, what a guy!

If you are a lover of the Play’n GO classic slots that feature the amazing Rich Wilde, you will be well aware that this is a man who is a cut above the rest.

He doesn’t seem to have any special talents apart from his good looks and his ability to look fear straight in the eye – and just for good measure, he is pretty switched on when it comes to quick thinking in order to tackle whatever drama comes his way.

Most people will agree that the Rich Wilde inspiration comes from the one and only Harrison Ford and the Indiana Jones character that he plays so well in the highly acclaimed Raiders of the Lost Ark and the other films in that series.

It all started for Rich Wilde with the Aztec Idols slot, but few would argue that it was Book of Dead that really put him on the map, and due to the huge popularity of that game, he has gone on to be the star of the show for more free Play’n GO games that are also proving to be extremely popular with online casino players.

It has been fascinating to witness how his character has developed throughout the series, so let’s look at Rich Wilde’s history and the slots in which he has featured.

Aztec Idols

Released in 2012, this is the slot in which Rich Wilde made his debut, and most experts in the online casino industry will agree that this game was ahead of its time in terms of graphics, soundtrack and bonus rounds.

The slot has a clever range of symbols, which, as well as revealing decent payouts, have booby prizes in store for unlucky players.

Pearls of India

This slot was released two years later in 2014, and as far as the Rich Wilde history of games goes, this production showed a big step up in quality, and as such received superb feedback from the top online casino review sites.

As the title of this slot suggests, the game is based on Rich and his attempts to uncover the sacred pearls of India.

The bonus features in the game are based around the Brahma wheel and offer numerous opportunities to obtain free spins and winning multipliers.

Book of Dead

This is where the Rich Wilde inspiration hit the big time. Released in late 2014, Book of Dead is the most popular and well-known slot title in the series.

It is actually a relatively basic game when compared to some of the more complex slots on the market, but it has grabbed the attention of the casino-playing public and the common consensus is that they absolutely love it.

Tome of Madness

The Tome of Madness slot was released in 2019, and it must be said that graphically, this game is on a different level from Rich Wilde’s history of games.

There is an element of the dark side to this offering as it features the Necronomicon book, which supposedly brings madness or even death to anyone who reads it.

Tome of Madness utilizes the cascading reels system with several bonus features that can often prove to be extremely lucrative.

Shield of Athena

Released in 2020, this is the latest slot based on Rich Wilde, and it is the game in which Rich’s daughter, Cat Wilde, is introduced to the proceedings.

This is another superb offering from Play’n GO, with exciting bonus rounds, superb graphics and a high-quality soundtrack.
