Books & Pearls

A slot from Gamomat based on a Pirate theme and is yet another one of the book games that Gamomat has it has the usual 5 reels 3 rows and just 10 pay lines with a min bet of 0.10 when you play all 10 lines although there is option to play with less such as 5 lines. Still a good option for low-rolling sessions and for book lovers.

As with most games of this type you will need to get 3 scatters or more and when it comes to this slot there are two features which is a nice change from book games that only have one feature, and thus if you land 3 pearl scatters then you get the pearls feature and if you get the 3 books or more then you get the book feature. And extra spins can be won as all good games have that function by getting more scatters during the free spins. The difference is that the pearls feature starts with 15 free spins if you get 3 pearl scatters or more and if you get 3 book scatters then you start with 10 free spins. It always feels better to start with more spins as you can take a lot more dead spins before you get some good wins and run out of your free spins.

As with all Gamomat games there is a gamble feature that is there if you want to and there are still two of them, the cards gamble or the ladder gamble, I would suggest to have a go on both to see which one you like, I would almost always choose Gamomats card gamble cause it reminds of how all the old slots were but you might prefer to ladder.

I found that during my real money play on this slot that I was able to get my first free spins feature on the 476th spin. And what did it pay well 72x and the best base win during all those spins was 10x. So it is what it is. I could give it another go in another session one of these days to see if it improves.

As for the RTP that is with this slot, as usual Gamomat slots running at 96% or over and with this I played it on the 96.06%. As long as I keep seeing Gamomat with their 96% and up then it is worth playing their slots and I know they don’t all have the same RTP and a few litlte adjustments here and there I mean sometimes you see a 96.06 and sometimes their slots have 96.12 and 96.14% but the main point is that 96% and up. They should be known for that, the 96 and up.

What can I say about Books and Pearls that is there not to like, the first feature took a lot of spins and when I say a lot I mean a lot, nearly 500 spins, well actually 476 spins that is a lot of spins for a lot when it’s not a megaways but it goes to show that what slots are capale of when you catch them in a bad mood so beware of that.

Most providers have got their own versions of ‘Book’ games, but I think Amatic and Gamomat probably have a lot more of such games in their portfolios. Take this ‘Books & Pearls’ game for example. It is identical to two other games, namely Books & Temples and Books & Bulls, but are also similar to several other games with ‘Book Of’ titles. There may be a few more of such games by Gamomat, but I’ve only come across those mentioned above.

No matter which book game you play, they would all play similarly, except for the three ‘Books’ games. Each of these three games offer 2 separate free spins feature games – one with the standard expanding and scattering symbols, the other one with the standard free spins with a fixed win multiplier. Only one feature game can be triggered at a time in the base game, but each feature game can be retriggered during the free spins play. I like this very much, especially the availability of the two separate kinds of free spins games.

Where the paytable is concerned, it is an excellent one, with very good win values for all the symbols in the game, including the Wild symbol and the two separate Scatter symbols. I simply hate games that do not pay anything for their Wild and/or Scatter symbols, because a lot of extra winning chances would be lost by their omissions. As per almost all of ‘Book’ games, getting 5 Wilds would pay 500x, 5 Scatters would pay 200x, and the other symbols would pay from 200x down to 10x. Compare these values with newer games and you can see the huge differences between them.

Needless to say, any one game can play badly or play well, depending on each player’s luck of the day. It should also be noted that when 2 separate feature games are being offered within a game, the chances of activating any one of the feature games tend to take slightly more spins than usual. Nevertheless, this doesn’t bother me much, as long as the feature games do come and not hide away, hahaha.

In my first ever play session on this Books & Pearls game, my luck was pretty good on that day and I managed to get several feature games activated. The standard expanding and scattering feature game didn’t pay good at all, but the 15 free spins with a 3x multiplier games gave a much better performance. In one of the games, the free spins got retriggered 5 times, giving a total of 60 free spins, and finally paying out a very nice 301x win. Well, I could have gone on playing the game, but knowing how such good wins could suddenly turn the game around, I decided to quit it and try another new game instead. Is Books & Pearls worth playing again? It sure is, and I certainly would play it again later on!
