Rich Wilde and the Wandering City Review

During base gameplay this adventure-themed slot can see players win big cash prizes by way of the 2x cumulative multipliers that can activate on the middle three reels at any time.
Players can win up to a maximum of 10,000x their stake playing this high volatility slot by way of the free spins feature which sees the 2x cumulative multipliers come into play once more as well as a special expanding symbols.
Design
First things first, let's talk about the intro cinematic that plays as the game begins, because it's absolutely fantastic and sets the scene beautifully. The video shows our hero, Rich Wilde, driving a speedboat towards a frozen island that plays host to the Wandering City... A mythical city that's rumoured to disappear in reappear in different regions around the world at different times.
Once into the main game players are transported to a dramatic snowy landscape in which two huge stone guards stand tall on either side of the game reels. Low paying symbols on the reels 9, 10, J, Q, K, A whilst high paying symbols include a dagger, a small statue of a warrior, a skull wearing an elaborate golden Aztec crown and of course Rich Wilde himself, who we must say looks just like David Beckham in this latest instalment of the Rich Wilde series. The game's special symbol is a shiny diamond, which acts as a wild scatter.
In terms of this game's music, players are treated to a really well-done soundtrack that features dramatic tribal chanting alongside panpipes and a whole host of traditional instruments... We often talk about how music can make or break a slot, and this game's soundtrack definitely makes it.
Gameplay
This is essentially a classic Rich Wilde slot! There's nothing out of the ordinary here in terms of navigating the game. An action bar runs along the bottom of the game screen with an info button, stake selection buttons, spin and an autoplay button (which won't be there if you're playing in the United Kingdom).
The only thing that stands out in Rich Wilde and the Wandering City is the fact that the middle three reels may light up and a 2x cumulative multiplier will come into play if a winning payline forms on them.
Win Potential
This slot features RTP ranges, meaning you could be playing the Wandering City on any of the following RTPs: 84.20%, 87.20%, 91.20%, 94.20%, 96.20%... Hopefully, you find yourself playing with the latter of the percentages. In terms of win potential, this high volatility slot can see players win a maximum of 10,000x their stake, which is pretty good if you ask us!
