Rich Wilde has returned in Play’n GO’s Tome of Madness Bingo, a new Video Bingo title that places numbered-card play inside the Tome of Madness universe and ties the action to the Cult of Cthulhu storyline. The game uses up to four cards at once, asks players to mark off called numbers as balls drop, and keeps rounds moving with optional Extra Balls and pattern-driven bonuses.

Material describing the release frames it as a fast-paced take on Video Bingo, with cryptic symbols, artefacts, and occult references built into the interface. Rich’s latest chapter centers on decoding stone-set symbols while chasing patterns that trigger prizes and bonus selections.

Video Bingo Format Built Around Patterns and Quick Decisions

Players can mark numbers across as many as four cards while the game draws balls, with the design aiming for short rounds and frequent check-ins on progress. A release description says Extra Balls can appear when a reward sits close, allowing additional chances to complete patterns, with the game checking conditions after each selection. That same description notes that, on rare occasions, a thirteen-th ball can appear when a top prize is in play.

The feature set also includes two pattern-based bonuses. Completing the Perimeter pattern opens Secrets of the Tome, which starts with five picks and allows players to choose from sealed selections. Some choices add prize values to a bonus counter, while others grant +1 Pick and extend the feature, with up to eight total picks possible.

Completing the Rails pattern triggers the Mystery Tome Bonus, described as an instant prize with no additional steps after activation. One set of game details lists the available instant prizes at 300x, 350x, 400x, 450x, 500x, 550x, 600x, 650x, or 700x the bet per card.

A separate top-end feature, Treasure of Cthulhu, ties to speed and card count. Game information says players must land Bingo within the first thirty balls while all four cards remain active to unlock the feature. A release description calls it “a fixed, feature-defining prize,” while another overview states it awards “a guaranteed prize of 5,000x the bet per card.”

Play Options, Extra Balls, and Thresholds Mentioned in Game Details

Gameplay instructions describe simple controls for setting up each round. Players can choose up to four cards and toggle each card using the “ON/OFF” button. The same guidance says players click “NEW CARDS” to change the numbers on all active cards, then press “PLAY” to begin the round.

One overview states the game draws 30 balls per round and displays wins on the cards and in the paytable patterns shown at the top of the screen. After a round, players press “COLLECT” to take winnings and move to the next game.

Extra Ball rules appear in more than one description and include stated thresholds. One set of details says that if a potential prize reaches at least 12x the bet per card, players can purchase up to 13 extra balls, with the cost depending on the possible win. It also says the 13th ball becomes available for purchase if prize potential hits 200x the bet per card. Another description highlights a maximum of thirteen Extra Balls and says the game checks conditions after each selection, with a rare thirteen-th ball appearing when a top prize is on the line.

Play’n GO’s release materials describe Tome of Madness Bingo as a numbered-card format that reuses established series lore and aims for clarity for newcomers while adding references for returning fans. The interface is described as four occult-styled cards with a clean, readable layout.

Magnus Wallentin, Games Ambassador at Play’n GO, said in the company’s press release: “Tome of Madness Bingo distils what players love about Rich Wilde – mystery, momentum and memorable reveals – into a crisp numbered-card format. From swift Mystery Tome payouts to pick-and-build moments in Secrets of the Tome, it’s designed to keep decisions meaningful and sessions engaging.”

The game’s RTP is set at 97.38% and classifies it as medium volatility, with a total bet range of €0,04 to €0,40. Players can potentially win up to 4,250x the bet, while its Treasure of Cthulhu description lists a guaranteed 5,000x the bet per card under the specified conditions.
