Rich Wilde and the Book of Dead is a Play'n GO game, not a Playtech release. The developer's official catalogue dates it to 14 January 2016 and identifies it as part of the Rich Wilde series. The repeated appearance of the same game under another provider in a listing is an attribution error, not evidence that a second developer made the identical title.
The important identifiers are its Rich Wilde protagonist, five reels with up to ten paylines and the Book symbol that serves as both wild and scatter. During the ten-free-spin feature, an ordinary symbol is selected to expand under the relevant winning conditions. These are characteristics of Play'n GO's release.
Playtech has published other mythology- and ancient-civilisation-themed slot games, but shared visual themes do not transfer intellectual-property ownership. When assessing a game's developer, the official studio game page and its rules are better evidence than a general casino-directory category.
This entry explains the incorrect Playtech association. The separately maintained Book of Dead listing contains the overview of the actual Play'n GO slot; presenting two near-identical gameplay reviews would mislead readers.
