ABOUT THE BOOKS AND PEARLS SLOT 

Get ready to set sail on a fun-filled pirate adventure on the high seas with the Books and Pearls online slot by Gamomat. True to its theme, the aim of the game is to hijack the loot by unlocking highly rewarding bonuses and generous loot. 

The slot bears many similarities to the famous Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, starting with the main character designed to resemble the Jack Sparrow character from the series. The slot’s title also sounds similar to “The Black Pearl’ a fictional pirate ship featured in the film series. Even the intro soundtrack sounds similar to the famous Pirates of the Caribbean's soundtrack.  

The slot’s backdrop looks like a stunning tropical island with a sandy beach, palms, and sparkling blue oceans against silhouettes of a beautiful mountain landscape. Unfortunately, this scene is only visible at the start of the game. Once it loads fully, it disappears behind the imposing reel, which takes up most of the reels. The background music is also short-lived, leaving only conventional slot machine sounds, which sound a little underwhelming. 

GAMEPLAY 

WAGER

Books and Pearls online slot has a five-reel, three-row layout. On each spin, you get to choose between betting on all 10 paylines or just five paylines. The minimum bet per spin is $0.10 when all 10 pay lines are active. To earn a payout in this game, you need to land identical symbols on adjacent reels of a payline from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel. 

SYMBOLS

The symbols in the Books and Pearls slot are a mix of themed icons and conventional playing card symbols. The highest-paying standard symbol is the pirate ship which pays 200x the bet amount for five symbols on a payline. This is followed by the treasure chest, paying 75x for a five-symbol combination. These two symbols can form a winning combination with just two matching symbols on a payline. 

The other two themed symbols include the pirate ship’s rudder and anchor. They both offer the same top payout of 50x the bet amount for landing five symbols on a pay line. Unlike the other two symbols, the anchor and rudder require at least three symbols to form a winning combination. 

The playing card symbols are the low-value icons. The A and K card symbols both pay 15x for five symbols on a payline. Similarly, the Q, J, 10 and 9 cards pay up to 10x for a five-of-a-kind combo. 

In addition to the standard symbols, this game also has two bonus symbols (the Book and the Pearl). These symbols act as Scatters, triggering unique free spins bonus rounds. The pirate captain character is the Wild symbol. 

SPECIAL FEATURES 

As a Wild symbol, the pirate character can stand in for any of the other game symbols to form a winning combination. It is a paying symbol as well, offering the slot’s highest payout of 500x the total bet for five symbols on a pay line. 

Like many other Gamomat slots, Books and Pearls has two gamble game options. Each time you land a winning combination in this slot, you can gamble your winnings by playing either the card guessing game or the ladder game. 

In the card game, you get to guess the correct color of a face-down card. The ladder gamble feature involves testing your reflexes to see how fast you can hit the gamble button as the payout fluctuates between doubling your current payout or not. In either game, you have a 50-50 chance of doubling your payout or walking away with nothing.  

BOOKS AND PEARLS FREE SPINS FEATURES

Books and Pearls has two unique free spins features. The first one is the Book free spins, triggered by landing three or more Book symbols on the reels. This will grant you 10 free games and a special expanding symbol bonus. During this bonus round, one of the symbols is randomly selected to become a bonus symbol. If this symbol forms a winning combination during the bonus round, it will expand to cover the whole reel, granting bigger wins. 

The second free spins feature is known as the Pearl free spins and is triggered by landing three or more Pearls on the reels. This will grant up to 15 free spins, with a 3x multiplier applied to all wins. Both free spins bonuses can be triggered by landing more Book or Pearl symbols during an ongoing bonus round. 

In addition to the slot’s built-in free spins feature, players can also get free spins through casino bonuses. Online casinos offer all kinds of promotions and campaigns that include free spins as a reward for lucky players. 

For example, new players on EnergyCasino can claim no-deposit free spins as their welcome bonus on the casino. Older players can also leverage ongoing promotions such as deposit rewards, loyalty rewards, tournament prizes, and so on to get free spins.
