Rich Wilde and the Pearls of Vishnu Review

Game Features

Game features in the Pearls of Vishnu include cascading wins, as well as a Bonus game with 3 different stages. There are also Free Spins.  There is no Buy Bonus, though, as Play’n GO does not use that feature in its games.

Cascading Wins & Multipliers

Winning combinations activate cascading reels, which means winning combos are eliminated from the grid to allow new symbols dropping to fill empty spaces. The win multiplier increases with each cascade, reaching up to 10x during the base game.

Cascades in the game continue until there’s nothing new to trigger.

Bonus Game

Tokens unlock the Bonus game in Pearls of Vishnu. Collecting 15 token symbols unlocks a three-stage bonus game.

• Wheel of Brahma: the first stage of the game. You spin three rings on a wheel to land prizes or keys, the latter advancing you to the next stage.
• Wall of Shiva: the second stage. Players here choose tiles on a wall to reveal what’s behind – prizes or keys – to progress further.
• Statue of Vishnu: the third and final stage. Here, players pick pearls from Vishnu’s hands for the grand prize. The pearl reveals the prize.

Each stage offers bigger and bigger rewards, but progression solely depends on luck.

Free Spins

Trigger 10 free spins by landing three pearl symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5.

During Free Spins, multipliers remain active, and pearl symbols act as Wilds.

Collecting five pearls grants extra spins and levels up the multiplier. However, you can play a maximum of 50 retriggered spins. You cannot retrigger tokens during Free Spins.

Our Experience with Rich Wilde and the Pearls of Vishnu

During our gameplay, Rich Wilde and the Pearls of Vishnu did not stand out to us as perhaps the best Wilde slot out there. However, it definitely delivered an immersive experience thanks to cascading wins and frequent booster appearances.

While the bonus game triggered occasionally, progression beyond the first stage proved to be more than challenging for us. However, all things considered, the free spins feature stood out the most. However, the capped 2,000x maximum win felt limiting for high-risk players seeking bigger rewards.

This is definitely looking like a very volatile game built for high-rollers, and instead the caps and limitations made it more like a game for medium rollers and casual players. Unused potential, for sure. But it is what it is. Overall, it’s an interesting game, but not the best game in the entire series.
