Rich Wilde and the Wandering City is a high-volatility online slot from Play'n Go with an RTP of 96.20% and a maximum win of 10,000x.
Play'n GO folds real-world legend into Rich Wilde and the Wandering City, sending its recurring explorer character after Ciudad de los Césares — a South American city said to sit between a mountain of gold and one of diamond, and never conclusively found. It's a 'book of' style entry in the wider Rich Wilde run, built with more win ways and multiplier support than earlier games in the series carried.
The grid spans 5 reels and 3 rows across 243 ways to win, with several regional RTP configurations available topped by a default of 96.2%; the game is rated 9 out of 10 on Play'n GO's own volatility scale. Bets run from 10 cents to $/€100 per spin. A run of five Rich Wilde symbols pays 4x the stake, backed by other premiums including skulls, statues and daggers, while 9-through-Ace card symbols fill out the lower end of the paytable. A diamond symbol works as both wild and scatter.
A Win Multiplier can appear on reels 2, 3 or 4 during any base or bonus spin, applying a x2 multiplier to that win; land more than one at once and their values add together before being applied. Landing 3, 4 or 5 diamond scatters triggers Free Spins — 10 spins plus an instant payout of 0.8x, 1.6x or 4x the stake depending on the scatter count.
Before the round begins, one high-value or low-value symbol is picked at random and set as an expanding symbol for the whole bonus session. Whenever that symbol completes a win, it grows to fill all three positions on its reel and from then on pays out like a scatter, no longer needing to sit next to other copies of itself to count. Landing 3 more scatters during the round retriggers Free Spins for a further 10 spins, and that retrigger can happen up to five times across a single round.
With a maximum win of 10,000x the stake built into that expanding-symbol mechanic, Rich Wilde and the Wandering City leans on its win-ways count and multiplier stacking more than raw symbol values to build its payout potential.
