Last updated on 29th May 2020 by Sam Gascoyne

Latest addition to the hugely popular slot series arrives 

Everyone's favourite adventurer Rich Wilde is back in his latest high-octane escapade, courtesy of popular online slot developers Play'n GO, and we couldn't be more excited to give it a spin!

Rich Wilde and the Shield of Athena is an mythology themed 5-reel, 10-win line slot that follows in the footsteps of a string of successful releases that include: Tome of Madness, Pearls of India and of course the iconic Book of Dead. 

What can you expect from The Shield of Athena?

The main features in this new title are Wilde Re-Spins and Medusa's Gaze, both of which have huge winning potential. 

Wilde Re-Spins are randomly activated any time during the game when a shield lands on the reels. This shield is locked for the duration of the re-spins.  

If more shields land during this time they'll also be locked in, and the remaining symbols will spin once again. Players will continue to be awarded re-spins until no more shields are left on screen or when no further winning combinations are registered during the bonus round.

Medusa’s Gaze is a free spin round that's activated when players land 3, 4 or 5 Wilde scatter symbols on the reels. Not only are players granted the free spins, but they can also benefit from Wilde Re-Spins which are always active during this round, which of course makes this bonus even more lucrative than normal.

'The perfect game to continue Wilde's legacy' says Play'n GO Chief

Play'n GO CEO Johan Törnqvist spoke excitedly about the latest chapter in Rich Wilde'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!”
