Gerard's Gambit

Imagine that James Bond or Indiana Jones had a renegade brother. This offers an insight into what to expect from Gerard’s Gambit, a slot from Play’n GO that introduces the brother of Rich Wilde, the eponymous hero from a number of its adventure-themed slots.

Gerard Wilde is the black sheep of the family, but he also has a taste for the finer things in life, and he’ll stop at nothing to get them. The Gerard’s Gambit slot, in which he stars, features expanding reels, re-spins and a free spins bonus, with a top prize of 3,000x your bet available.

The Gerard’s Gambit slot machine features dozens of ways to win across its ten paylines, with the adventure theme explored in trips to all corners of the globe - from Egypt to Mexico and from Ancient Greece to India.

A feature-rich slot game, Gerard’s Gambit makes use of ‘levels’ (represented by a different country in Gerard’s search for the treasure) to change up the gameplay regularly.

Each level has a unique reel set and its own mission, and once you complete your mission, you’ll move on to the next level, from Gerard’s Mansion to Egypt, Mexico, Greece and India. For example, when you reach Level 3, you can begin to trigger re-spins backed by sticky wilds. At Level 4, you retain those features and add the ability to re-trigger re-spins.

Every new level adds extra features into the mix.

Although the reels don’t expand in the traditional way, they do grow in size as you climb through the levels.

If you progress to Level 3, that’s when re-spins can be triggered by landing two or more wilds on your reels.

These are sticky for the duration of your re-spins, and the re-spins feature can be reactivated with more wilds once you reach Level 4 and beyond.

If you make it to Level 6, that’s when you might be able to trigger the free spins bonus.

Triggered by the scatter symbol, you can earn one free spin on Level 6, two on Level 8, and three on Level 10, with sticky wilds and the chance to add an extra free spin for each additional scatter that appears on your reels during a free turn.

Released in April 2023, Gerard’s Gambit is an ambitious slot that features unique graphics for each level of the game based on the countries that you ‘visit’.

The soundtrack, which is inspired by movies like Indiana Jones and console games such as Uncharted, also helps to add a sense of atmosphere to the proceedings. Because of the visual and audio changes that occur on-screen, the game offers an incredibly immersive experience, perfect for players that enjoy an adventure-themed slot.

As mentioned, Gerard’s Gambit is the latest title in the Rich Wilde franchise of slots for which Play’n GO is well renowned. You can also try similar adventure games like Rich Wilde and the Amulet of Dead at LeoVegas.

Another similarly adventure-based option would be Book of Dead, which takes players on a global hunt for ancient treasure.

If treasure hunting is your type of activity, you could try ELK Studios’ Dead Man’s Gold. This slot has a similar look and feel to Gerard’s Gambit.

If you like slots with stacks of features, then Blueprint Gaming’s Rise of Atlantis is another title to try out.

Although it’s easy to get lost in Gerard’s Gambit’s various features, don’t forget that the main objective is to match symbols on a payline to win during the base game.

You need a minimum of three matching symbols to trigger a payout, with a combination of five being the best-paying option.

You can modify your bet amount per spin using the + and - arrows on the menu or select from one of the presets listed. The minimum bet amount is £0.05, and the maximum is £100.
