Rich Wilde and the Pearls of Vishnu Slot Review

As you spin the reels, any “Om” symbols get collected in the Bonus meter on the left. These can trigger the Bonus Round, which has three stages. Apart from this, the game also has a Free Spins round and the Cascading Symbols feature.

The cascading mechanic simply means symbols disappear (the stone blocks get destroyed) to make way for new symbols when you form a winning combination. As new symbols land in empty places on the same spin, you have additional chances to form wins on the same bet.

Bonus Game

Collect the Om token symbol during the base game. Once 15 are collected, you will trigger the bonus game. The gates to the temple will open. There are three stages to this game:

• The Wheel of Brahma: It is a lucky wheel game. The wheel has three rings with six sections each. The rings will rotate and you will get a reward randomly based on the paytable. Mostly, you will be getting small prizes (such as multipliers) but you can also get the Golden Key. If you do, you can move to the next level. If not, you return to the base game.
• The Wall of Shiva: If you get the Golden Key during the Wheel game, you will get a wall in the next game. It will have tiles that you have to open one by one. Again, most of these have prizes but one might also have another Key.
• The Statue of Vishnu: If you found a Key in the previous round too, you will enter the last stage of the bonus game. The statue of Vishnu will have hands with pearls. You need to pick one. Each one will have a prize.

The prizes go up in value from one round to the next.

It is kind of like another Play’n GO slot, Gunslinger Reloaded, which is another visual treat with consecutive bonus rounds that give you choices to feel interactive (but, ultimately, are just RNG). 

However, in Gunslinger Reloaded, you get access to all three bonus games (shoot a whiskey bottle, throw a knife through a deck of cards, and go outside the saloon in a shootout against a wanted criminal). In Pearls of Vishnu, you need to be lucky enough to find the Key in a round to unlock the next round.

Free Spins Round

The symbol of two serpents (right out of the Chamber of Secrets, rather than Lord Vishnu’s resting place) protecting a pearl is the Scatter. Landing three Pearl symbols anywhere on the reels triggers the Free Spins round. You get 10 free spins.

In this round, the Pearl symbols become the Wilds, substituting other symbols. You can collect more Pearl symbols to increase the multiplier. And for every 5 additional Pearls you collect, you will get 5 extra free spins. Instead of the Om symbol collector, you get the Pearl/Scatter symbol collector on the left.

The multiplier will keep rising and can go up to 50x—which is the key attraction of the game. You can get up to 50 additional free spins this way.

Multiplier

You have a multiplier meter on the right side of the reels. This is active in the base game and the Free Spins round as well. The values are 1x, 2x, 4x, 6x, and 10x. Every time you land a cascading win, the multiplier meter will increase. This multiplier meter will reset at the beginning of each new spin but during the Free Spins round, it can carry over. If you are lucky and keep getting additional Pearls, the combination of cascades and multipliers can push your wins closer to the max win potential.

Rich Wilde and the Pearls of Vishnu is a visually appealing 5-reel, 3-row slot from Play'n GO that brings Rich Wilde back to another exotic adventure. With 20 paylines, the game offers a medium volatility experience with a potential max win of 2,000x your stake.

While the RTP varies (96.17% being the highest), you can expect a solid gaming experience with cascading wins, multipliers, and engaging bonus rounds.

The Bonus Game consists of three stages (Wheel of Brahma, Wall of Shiva, and Statue of Vishnu), each offering rewards with increasing values. The Free Spins feature is another highlight, with multipliers reaching up to 50x and the chance for additional free spins.

Rating: 7 (Good)

As I said before, this is a well-rounded game in terms of aesthetics (graphics, sound, and animation) and theme. The mechanics are as good as you can expect with interesting bonus rounds and free spins. There are cascading reels and multipliers too.

On the other hand, in classic Play’n GO fashion (more recent games only), there are variable RTPs so you need to be sure you are not playing a lower variant. The max win is a lowly 2,000x your bet. And the volatility is medium.

What this means is that even though the game has excellent core mechanics—the wins are quite modest in comparison.
