How Tome of Madness Works

Tome of Madness, designed by Play'n GO, is a cascading slot game featuring a 5x5 grid. The reels are filled with symbols that drop down, and the aim is to create winning clusters of 4 or more matching symbols that are connected horizontally or vertically. Once a winning cluster is formed, those symbols are removed, and new ones fall from above to fill the gaps. This cascading process continues until no new wins are possible in a game round.

Cluster wins pay only for adjacent symbol combinations, and multiple clusters formed in a single round will have their payouts added together. All winnings from features and the bonus round are combined with cluster wins. At the end of each round, the total winnings are awarded.

All winning combinations must consist of connected symbols with no gaps, and they may begin from any position on the grid. Only the highest win for each symbol combination is paid.

The bet for each game round can be selected using the plus and minus buttons or by choosing from five preset bet options at the bottom of the game interface.

Game Features and Special Effects

Eye Marks and Special Wilds

Throughout the game, Eye Marks can randomly appear in different grid locations. When you form a winning combination in a position marked by an Eye Mark, that eye is opened. After all cascades have ended in a round, 2 Special Wild symbols are added to the grid.

Portal Charging and Effects

Winning clusters also charge the Portal. As you win symbols during a round, reaching specific milestones triggers additional features:

  • After 7 symbols are part of wins: 2 Special Wilds are added.
  • After 14 symbols are won: 2 Special Wilds are added. If a Special Wild is then part of a win, the Abyss Portal Effect is activated.
  • After 27 symbols are won: 2 more Special Wilds are added. If a Special Wild is part of a win, the Void Portal Effect is triggered.

If multiple charging thresholds are passed before earlier effects have played out, only the last effect achieved is activated.

Portal Effects Explained

  • Abyss: Removes all symbols in a row or column originating from the triggered Special Wild. Any symbols removed in this way help further charge the Portal. If this also removes another Special Wild, the removal repeats from that symbol.
  • Void: Randomly selects one regular symbol on the grid and removes all matching symbols from view.

Other World Free Round

If you collect wins from 42 symbols in a single game round, the Other World Free Round is triggered. This awards one free round, accompanied by three random Portal Effects. Collecting more wins while overcharging the Portal adds an extra Portal Effect for every three additional winning symbols, up to a maximum of seven Portal Effects for the round.

During the Other World Free Round, one Portal Effect activates whenever no further wins occur, in sequence. The possible Portal Effects in this round are:

  • Special Wilds: 4 Special Wilds are added to the grid.
  • Abyss: 4 Special Wilds are added. If any Special Wild is involved in a win, the Abyss effect is triggered.
  • Void: 4 Special Wilds are added. If any Special Wild is involved in a win, the Void effect is triggered.

During this round, 11 or 12 Eye Marks appear. Open eyes by winning on their positions. If all eyes are opened in this round, a Mega Wild Cthulhu symbol appears, cascading down the grid until it disappears. Play continues until no further wins are possible.

Game Controls and Actions

  • Change Bet: Select one of five preset bet amounts or use the plus and minus buttons to increase or decrease the bet stepwise.
  • View Paytable: Open and close the paytable to see symbol values and feature information.
  • Start Round: Begin a game round using the start button or pressing the spacebar. The prize is determined by the symbols displayed and according to the paytable after each cascade sequence.
  • Auto Adjust Bet: If your balance is too low for the current bet, the game will reduce your total bet to the next available option that your balance supports. Bet amounts will not automatically increase, even after wins.

General Information and Game Integrity

If play is interrupted, all game data and bets are preserved until you restart the slot. Any incomplete round can be resumed from the point of stoppage. Bets that remain unresolved after 90 days in incomplete rounds will become void. Malfunctions will void all pays and plays.
