Rich Wilde and the Amulet of Dead: Slot Overview
Rich Wilde is back solo on another Egyptian dig, this time hunting an artifact tied to Thoth in Rich Wilde And The Amulet of Dead. Play'n GO built it on a 5x3 grid with up to 10 paylines, and if I'm honest with chat, it looks and plays a lot like Book of Dead with one extra layer.
That extra layer is the Thoth Wild with its stacked multipliers, which actually makes the base game watchable. Released April 2021, it sits in the high-volatility bracket with a 2,500x cap on most info pages, although some sources still quote the older 5,000x figure. Worth a session for Book-of fans, not a revolution.
Rich Wilde and the Amulet of Dead: Slot Features
Thoth Wilds land only on reels 2, 3 and 4 and can stack the full reel. One fully stacked Thoth gives a 2x multiplier, two reels give 3x, three reels give 5x. The multiplier hits every win on that spin, including scatter pays, and it stays active inside Free Spins too.
The Amulet scatter doubles as a wild and pays up to 100x for five. Three or more amulets anywhere trigger 10 free spins. Before they kick off, one paytable symbol gets picked as the special expanding symbol; if enough land, they cover the whole reel and pay scatter-style. Stacked Thoth Wilds can sub for the special symbol, which is the biggest twist on the formula.
Bonus Buy Options
Land 3+ Amulet scatters to trigger 10 free spins with a randomly chosen expanding special symbol. Retriggers grant 10 more spins.
Feature Cost: N/A (no bonus buy)
1, 2 or 3 fully stacked Thoth Wilds on reels 2, 3, 4 trigger a 2x, 3x or 5x multiplier applied to all wins on that spin, base game and free spins.
Risk any win on a card colour (2x) or suit (4x), up to 5 times in a row or until a 250x bet cap.
Paytable Breakdown
Royals 10 through A handle the low end and barely shift the needle, paying 2x to 3x for five on a line. Premiums are the falcon of Ra, Anubis, Pharaoh and Rich Wilde himself, paying between 15x and 100x for five with 10 lines active. High-pay symbols only need 2 on a payline to register, low-pays need 3.

RTP, Volatility and Max Win
Default RTP sits at 96.29%, slightly above Book of Dead, but watch out: Play'n GO ships variable RTPs of 94.28%, 91.22%, 87.28% and 84.24%. Always check the paytable before you spin. Volatility is officially high, although some sources call it medium-high. Max win is capped at 2,500x the bet.
There's also a Gamble feature on any win: pick red/black to double or a suit to quadruple, up to 5 ladders or a 250x bet cap. Mathematically neutral, but a tidy variance booster if you're chasing the ceiling. No bonus buy here, so the only way into free spins is through 3 amulets in the base game.
