Innovative Gaming Unveiled: Rich Wilde's Next Adventure
This month, on May 30, Play'n GO will unveil its latest creation: Rich Wilde and the Tome of Insanity - an eagerly anticipated addition to the renowned series inspired by the legendary novel Rich Wilde and the Book of Madness. Promising to elevate the online slot experience to unprecedented heights, this installment incorporates state-of-the-art gaming mechanics and features.
In an exclusive interview with IGF, George Oleksi, Head of Game Preservation at Play'n GO, delved into the genesis of this beloved series and shed light on the innovative strides the team is taking to captivate gamers.
– Your new game has an exciting title, does it have a corresponding plot? Why is it interesting for gamers?
–The plot is integral to our product. In The Tome of Madness, Rich Wilde finds himself pursued by creatures lurking in the shadows, with his sanity hanging by a thread. Players embark on a thrilling journey to safeguard priceless artifacts amidst encroaching darkness.
–Your new product is a continuation of an already very popular game. What inspired the team to create a sequel, and can we guarantee that the game will be as popular as its predecessor?
–We drew inspiration from the compelling narrative of Tome of Madness, which resonated deeply with our audience. Given its immense success, crafting a sequel was a natural progression. By remaining faithful to the essence of the original while enhancing gameplay elements, we're confident in delivering another hit.
–Are there any innovative features in the game and how will this help operators keep their players interested?
– One of the most intriguing features of the game is the rotation mechanic without associated curses. While this option may appear familiar to players, it comes with a unique twist - the introduction of a win multiplier function embodied in the form of a remarkably rare symbol. This symbol, resembling Yog-Sothoth, manifests as a 2x2 Mega Unusual symbol, capable of bestowing multipliers of x2, x3, or x4.
– Play'n GO is widely regarded as a trailblazer in grid-based slot machines. Why are games like this so crucial, and what role do they play in the broader iGaming industry?
– Grid slots hold significant importance, offering a distinct experience. Innovation serves as the cornerstone of our industry, and we take pride in our role as innovators. Providing players with diversity is paramount, particularly in today's landscape where numerous entertainment options vie for their attention.
– Play'n GO's portfolio boasts an array of captivating games spanning diverse themes, many of which have garnered fervent fan followings. How do you determine which games merit a sequel, and can we anticipate more series expansions in the future?
–Several factors influence our decision to transform a game into a series. Sometimes, it stems from the overwhelming popularity of the original, while other times, it arises from the presence of compelling characters or narratives ripe for continuation. Ultimately, our aim is to craft experiences that offer gamers the utmost immersion and enjoyment. Rest assured, you can expect further developments in this realm down the line, with new sequels slated for release later this year.
Editor's note:
After conversing with George, it's evident that crafting a standout slot experience hinges not only on the storyline but also on game mechanics. The capacity to transport players on an enthralling journey is paramount for maximizing engagement. The emergence of grid-style slots represents a paradigm shift, offering a dynamic gaming experience distinct from traditional online casinos. With its cascading elements, players are compelled to anticipate the unfolding action. The industry's reaction to this forthcoming game launch is eagerly anticipated. If the success of its precursor is any indication, Play'n GO may well deliver another resounding hit!
