Rich Wilde and the Shield of Athena

Rich Wilde and the Shield of Athena Slot Review

A treasure hunter’s adventure combined with ancient Greek lore? This is exactly what this Play’n GO slot is all about, having fun and the ability to win big whilst having fun. So spin the reels to see what you can win!

Rich Wilde and the Shield of Athena is a visually stunning slot. In the background, you can see a flooded temple with waterfalls pouring over at the main hall where a statue dominates the landscape. The reels are surrounded by a border made of greek-architecture columns and decorated with similar patterns. The logo of the game is seen at the top of the screen.

Mechanically, the slot works in the standard way. The reels start spinning altogether and they stop individually in consecutive order. Winning symbols become animated and trigger a short audio effect.

If you’re looking for a similar experience then we recommend you check out the rest of the Rich Wilde games as well as the sister franchise Cat Wilde, both by Play’n GO. For now, let’s see how the game works.

How to Play Rich Wilde and the Shield of Athena

The game consists of 3 rows and 5 reels with 10 fixed paylines. The controls are located under the reels allowing the player to set the preferred bet size, enable the autoplay function, or spin. More options are available via the in-game menu.

Bets start as low as $0.10 and can go as high as $100 per spin.

Rich Wilde and the Shield of Athena is a very high volatility slot and this means you won’t be getting large wins often but at least there is a maximum exposure of $1,000,000 or 10,000x your bet.

Moving on, the game features 5 low-paying and 4 high-paying symbols. The first come in the form of card values 10-A while the latter are represented by an owl statue, an amulet, a ring, and a Greek warrior’s helmet.

The special symbols are:

• Wild – The slot’s wild is none other than Rick Wilde himself. It substitutes for all symbols except for the scatter.
• Scatter – The slot’s scatter is the protagonist’s sister, Cat Wilde. 3 of these trigger the free spins feature.
• Shield of Athena – A special symbol that can turn wild and trigger the Medusa respin.
