Tome of Madness

A book may be a little paperback romance picked up at an airport snack store or a catalogue of recipes used in the kitchen. A more serious volume needs a title to match; in Tome of Madness, you know you’re getting a hefty piece of fun, that’s for sure. The madness, in the case of this online casino slot, is that strange classification given to all manner of weird conditions before psychotherapy even existed. It’s the lunacy of a gothic novel from 200 years ago or the dark blend of fear and imagination that fed the works of the original science fiction and fantasy writers. With that said, you can’t take it too seriously, this game feels like a trip into a Victorian mansion where reality seems to blur at the edges. If you like a slot with a darker theme (even one with the iconic slots hero Rich Wilde in it), you may enjoy Tome of Madness. Enter this world, if you dare, with Wildz Casino.

Design

A dark, abandoned mansion with shattered window panes sets the scene for this moody game. Featuring one of the slots world’s most-loved characters, Play’n GO’s Rich Wilde, you know that you’re in for some exploring and plenty of mysterious action. If you know your classic horror, you’ll see immediately the link between this game and H.P. Lovecraft’s fictional universe Cthulhu Mythos, where the godlike creature Cthulhu reigns supreme. The reel symbols include lesser-value green, blue, red, and purple stones with obscure scripts on them, while the more valuable symbols include Cthulhu skulls, rings, daggers and octopus pendants.

Gameplay

Tome of Madness is a Cascading slot in which the symbols drop down into the 5x5 grid from above. When they land, if winning combinations result, those symbols are removed from the grid to be replaced by new symbols dropping down into the gaps left behind. There are three different Wilds available at random, the Tome which acts as the standard Wild symbol, the x2 multiplier Wild represented by Rich Wilde and the Cthulu creature as the Mega Wild which only appears in the bonus round.

Bonuses and features

The Portal Effects feature is the one to watch out for, triggered if you can fill the Portal meter with successive cascade wins: With 7 symbols, 2 Special Wilds are awarded and added to the grid; with 14 symbols, 2 Special Wilds are awarded and added to the grid. The Abyss feature may also be activated. With 27 symbols, 2 Special Wilds are awarded and added to the grid and a Void Portal Effect feature is activated. With 42 symbols, the Other World Free Round feature is triggered.

When the portal feature is overcharged, additional multipliers and features are added, so this game can really take off if the cascades work in your favour. For similar action, the Play’n GO game Reactoonz has amassed large audiences who enjoy seeing the potential build-up of rewards.

Tome of Madness on the move

This game, even though it has complex action in it as well as some smaller animation sequences, can be enjoyed on a desktop PC as well as a mobile device, since the developers have made sure that their games can be played on the go.

Volatility

Tome of Madness comes with a high volatility setting, so players need to be prepared for some win-free rounds, although the wins can accumulate in a satisfying way if the cascades keep tumbling down. The Return-To-Player value comes in at 96.59%%, a pretty decent figure by online slots standards.

Worth a try?

Let’s face it, Rich Wilde is always going to be worth a second glance, since this character’s slots always break in some interesting gameplay. In this case, the cascading action that can trigger a huge variety of Portal effects makes a welcome debut. The design is a little spooky, but even the Cthulu symbol, when it transforms into a Mega Wild is quite fun to watch rather than terrifying. This game is ideal for players who love additional features, especially if they’re not too intimidated by the volatility rating and they are keeping an eye on their bankroll. There are frequent opportunities to win some lucrative rewards, too.

A tip: look out for a companion game at Wildz featuring a schlock-rock god: Alice Cooper and the Tome of Madness!
