Up until now, I always thought Rich Wilde was a bachelor. He never seemed to have any ties – not even the one he was supposed to be wearing! The sad news is that he is in fact quite the ladies’ man, and we’re about to find out all about his new love interest in Rich Wilde and the Shield of Athena.
Another chapter in the adventurous slot series was unveiled just a few days ago, making it slot release 16 of 52 for Play’n GO. Up until a few weeks ago I was worrying the software giant wouldn’t be able to fulfil their promise of a news lot every week for a year, but two slots emerging in one week? Any doubts I had have been well and truly put to bed!
As ever, the theme is one of ancient Egypt, only this time, he’s brought a lady-friend along with him! The once clean-shaving, chisel-chinned hunk has treated himself to a new hair cut (where I wonder, I’m dying to get mine trimmed!) and even grown a fashionable beard!
The kick-ass female explorer is every bit as beautiful as you’d imagine. Long brown flowing locks, piercing blue eyes and plump red lips. But she’s no conquest of the hunk, she is in fact his daughter! Who is the lucky lady that became the mother? Nobody knows, but we hope to meet her soon (get working on a steamy ‘how we met’ slot lads and lasses!).
Richie boy has spawned his own string of successful games in the past, but Play’n GO are hoping this one becomes an instant hit. Rich Wilde is a popular character in the slot world, and CEO Johan Törnqvist spoke about his latest adventure:
“Rich Wilde is a beloved slot character, and we know players are always ready for another adventure. But it’s important that we make sure that his games, like our other titles, are of the highest quality, and worthy of the name.
Shield of Athena is an amazing game, visually stunning with entertaining features for players to enjoy; the perfect game to continue Rich Wilde’s legacy!”
It’s Time to Go Wilde!
Rich and Cat travel to Atlantis in search of the legendary Shield of Athena, which if course bears the head of the gorgon Medusa. Atlantis is a world apart from ancient Egypt, so they had to find some connection somewhere I suppose. A trio (or more!) of Cat symbols will launch the bonus spins feature where a very special re-spin function is always active.
Medusa re-spins sees any gorgon shield turn wild and lock in place with any wins to award a re-spin. Wilds and winning symbol award further re-spins and Rich Wilde (the wild symbol!), turns into a shield during the feature. The shield is one mighty symbol and can turn wild on any spin to award real money winnings of up to £100K!
Keep your eyes peeled for it going live any day now at major online bingo sites.

Sounds great and its’ about time they moved away from the same game infrastructure. Whenever a ‘new’ game would appear, it was just a re-painted version of the original Rich Wilde and the Book of Dead.
