After releasing an animated tribute video slot on May 21st, Charlie Chance in Hell to Pay, inspired by Max Fleischer, Play’n GO finally brings the long-awaited expansion of its hit series Rich Wilde. The latest installment is called Shield of Athena and it represents a new chapter in the adventures of the studio’s most recognizable character.
Thanks to a huge success of earlier adventure slots, including Pearls of India (2014), Book of Dead (2016) and Tome of Madnes (2019), the follow up continues Rich Wilde’s quests to remote locations in search of treasures and mysteries of mythological origin.
His next stop is the lost city of Atlantis, the last known location of the legendary shield wielded by the goddess Athena.
Wilde Re-Spins and Medusa’s Gaze
To solve the mysteries of a long forgotten continent, the infamous Wilde character decided to take an unlikely companion, his daughter Cat Wilde. As the two of them traverse into the last known region of Atlantis on a 5x3 grid, players will be beguiled with the extent of details and mesmerizing graphics, showcasing the studio’s advanced design solutions concerning Greek mythology.
They also represent the game’s wild and scatter symbols, capable of creating bigger winning combinations on paylines and triggering Medusa’s Gaze, the main attraction. Other images are designed in the style of this ancient civilization’s mythology, including the Helm of Athena, the Ring of Wisdom, the Pendant of Courage, the Golden Owl and the Shield of Athena, which turns into a fearsome wild during the re-spins feature.
Wilde Re-Spins are randomly triggered on any given rotation, providing a new spin if the Shield emerges on the reels. During this mode, wilds or winning lines turn to stone as the rest of the board continues to rotate, potentially creating a new set of winning combinations.
By landing 3, 4 or 5 scatters anywhere on the reels, players will initiate a series of 10, 12 or 15 extra spins. This mode is called Medusa’s Gaze and it includes Wilde Re-Spins in case a Shield emerges on the board. There is a possibility to activate an unlimited number of spins too!
Johan Tornqvist, chief executive, commented about the studio’s 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!”
Production Rocks on Through 2020
After releasing four sequels in the popular series with Rich Wilde, Play’n GO successfully continues its revolutionary chapter-oriented base gaming with recognizable characters and genuine storytelling. As a hit-maker of innovative and feature-rich video slots for online casinos, its catalog now spans from classics to branded titles, such as the latest music-inspired game, Annihilator.
Aside from this incredible release that celebrates the band’s decades of influence on the metal scene, the supplier keeps the track with leisure and other mythology-themed products such as That’s Rich, Agent Destiny and Ring of Odin. Among the biggest hits in May is the aforementioned Charlie Chance in Hell to Pay, an animated 3x3 video slot whose graphics and animations are inspired by Max Fleischer, an American animator, inventor and author of famous characters Betty Boop and Popeye.

Playn GO have entered into a super fast production process. They’re obviously set to conquer the market in the next 2-3 years and take leadership from Netent, although they need to work on payouts. I don’t remeber when the last time someone hit a jackpot on any of their games.
