Books and Pearls Slot Graphics and Theme

Ahoy there landlubbers, Books and Pearls has a pirate theme and although there is not one wooden leg, parrot or bottle of rum in sight, we see an abundance of ships’ wheels, anchors and of course, the obligatory treasure. Design-wise, the game is functional and quite basic, so once again, if you’re not one for the bells and whistles of a busy slot, then this is the game for you.

The title page of Books and Pearls slot shows a rather handsome pirate, not dissimilar in looks to Johnny Depp’s Captain Jack Sparrow. We think this particular pirate has had much more success throughout his pirating career, however, as he has a rather polished appearance and he sports spectacular pirate attire. The sword-bearing fellow stands in the foreground of a stunning island with a sandy beach, palm trees, sparkling blue ocean and a fabulous mountain view. He looks like a wealthy pirate, giving the overall impression of riches and success. The game’s logo dominates the screen in ostentatious silver and gold, with swords crossing as the centrepiece of the design.

Once inside the game, the paylines are highlighted in bright colors from blues, reds and greens to oranges, yellows and purples which are displayed at each side of the reels. The control bar for the game is situated beneath the reels. The reels are cleverly designed and resemble the cream, antique look of an old treasure map. There are, of course, the low value playing card symbols which are bright and easy to spot and include the nine, ten, jack, queen, king and ace. The high value symbols include a pirate, a book, a pearl, a ship, a treasure chest, a wheel and an anchor.

How to Play Books and Pearls Slots

The top left of the screen displays a menu option which takes you to the game’s information pages where you will see the games rules, instructions and everything you need to know about playing. You'll have the option to spin the reels using the spacebar on your computer. There is also a turbo feature where the reels spin faster, and you can choose the turbo option in the menu options. The dollar symbol will take you to the paytables and the i for information provides full instructions for gameplay, including information about the free spin and bonus features, as well as the bets and gamble features. Next to the menu button, there is a sound button to mute the game’s sound if preferred.

Books and Pearls slot has five or ten paylines which can be changed during play at your leisure, as there is a clickable button to the left of the control bar beneath the reels. The control bar situated along the bottom of the game under the reels is where everything you need to play the game is displayed. The first clickable box is the total bet, and you can raise or lower your bet throughout the game. Next to this is the payline box to switch between five or ten paylines. Centrally located and the most prominent, is the win box, which shows your win amount immediately after winning, along with the balance available.

Following each win, you will be presented with three new clickable boxes to the right of the win box. The first is to collect all your winnings, and this is identified by a money bag image. The next two boxes are the gamble options. The ladder gamble takes you to a new section of the game. You will see a ladder with numerous amounts of cash on it, with the bottom rung showing the lowest figure and the top rung displaying the highest amount. Two cash amounts will be highlighted with a flash, and you’re required to stop the gamble on the highest figure, at which point, whether you win or lose, you have the option to gamble again or to collect your winnings. There is also a card gamble which requires you to select the red or black playing card, in a double or nothing style gamble. If you select the winning option, you may choose to gamble again or to collect and return to the base game. Each gamble feature has an additional feature where you can select to collect half of your winnings and gamble with the other half at any point during the gamble. The gamble feature does not apply to high wins.

Under normal play conditions, when the gamble options are not displayed, the autoplay box is the default setting on screen and allows you to choose the number of spins you would like to play automatically. You do not need to choose this option if you are happy to spin the reels yourself. Please be aware, the gamble feature is not available in autoplay mode.

How to Win at Books and Pearls Slot

The Books and Pearls wild just had to be a pirate - there was no other feasible option considering its pirate theme. The pirate wild substitutes all symbols except the two scatters and excludes the bonus symbols when the free spin feature is activated. Two or more pirates pay out in this game, and the game has the luxury of two scatter symbols which are depicted as the book and the pearl.

Three, four or five books trigger the free spins feature, awarding ten free spins for the appearance of this scatter on the reels. Three or more pearls trigger the free spins feature, awarding fifteen free spins. You may also trigger additional free spins whilst the free spin feature is in play.

The Book Scatters

Three book scatter symbols pay 5, four book symbols pay 20 and five book scatter symbols pay 200.

The Pearl Scatters

Two pearl scatter symbols pay 2, three pearl symbols pay 5, four pearls pay 20 and five pearl scatter symbols pay 200.

In this game, the high value cards are the ship, treasure chest, ship’s wheel and the anchor, and they offer higher rewards than the playing card symbols and pay out as follows:

Ship - 2 of a kind pay 0.50, 3 pay 5, 4 pay 50 and 5 pay 200
Treasure Chest - 2 of a kind pay 0.50, 3 pay 2.50, 4 pay 15 and 5 pay 75

Books and Pearls Bonus Features & Free Spins

The Book Scatter

You will need to land three, four or five book scatters to trigger the free spins feature and receive ten free spins. Additional free spins can be achieved whilst in free spin mode.

All symbols excluding the book scatter can become a bonus symbol.

However, if free spins are retriggered, a new draw of bonus symbol cannot be made.
If the pirate wild is the bonus symbol when the free spins feature is activated, multiple wild symbols on one line count as a combination.

The Pearl Scatter

Landing three or more pearl scatter symbols triggers fifteen free spin games and as with the book scatter, during free spins play, it is possible to trigger additional free spins.

If the free spin feature is activated by landing pearl scatters, all wins are tripled, making for a very lucrative win.

As mentioned previously, there are two types of gamble options available to you in the Books and Pearls slot game. The red or black playing card gamble and the ladder gamble. Both options allow you to increase, reduce or lose your winnings and both features allow you to collect one half of your winnings and gamble with the remaining half.

Books and Pearls Review & Rating

We’ve always been intrigued by pirates, we cannot lie me hearties, so Books and Pearls was a no brainer for us. We like the pirate theme and ease of use once you’ve established rules and the variety of the symbols including their values. The gamble features spice things up a bit and add that variety that’s often needed. Having the opportunity to collect all or half of your winnings and continue using the gamble features is a touch we like too. Again, this game is functional, easy to plug and play and has a medium–high volatility which allows for some pretty big wins, with the jackpot in this game being 250,000. We have to go with a high rating and we recommend giving it a whirl.

We also enjoyed playing Dead or Alive slot . This is a Western themed game by NetEnt, and it’s a high volatility slot with a 96.8% RTP. Dead or Alive slot game has wilds, sticky wilds, scatters and a free spins feature.
