Release month, RTP, and max win are based on the AI Slot database. Aztec Idols, Book of Dead, and Tome of Madness have a small “Rich Wilde and the” on the game logo, so they belong to the same series even though the name isn’t in the title. Play’n GO games may come with different RTP versions depending on the casino.
Latest release: Book of Dead GO Collect
Introduced in February 2026, Book of Dead GO Collect is an Egyptian-themed game on a 5×3 grid, in which Rich Wilde searches a sunken temple for a hidden treasure vault. In the base game you collect gold coins (staters) to fill a progress meter toward the vault, and the game also includes a treasure gamble that compares the original’s expanding symbol with a coin. Play’n GO described it as “a game that goes back to Rich Wilde’s roots.”
Cat Wilde and related games
Play’n GO also has a separate series starring the female explorer “Cat Wilde.” The mood is similar to the Rich Wilde series, but the protagonist is different, so it helps to tell them apart.
