You’ll be sailing the 7 seas, only in this Books & Pearls mobile slot, the scenery isn’t quite as pretty as the ones you are used to sailing.
There are many Pirate casino games out there, it’s hard not to compare them when another one comes along. And the problem with this Books and Pearls slot from Gamomat is that it doesn’t look have as impressive as some of the ones we’ve seen before.
It’s not as pretty as the Fortunate 5 game by Playtech and it doesn’t have the Razzle Dazzle of Pirates Smugglers Paradise by Yggdrasil.
What you get is a poor Captain Jack Sparrow copy, treasure chests, swords, the skull flags etc… all very cliche, none of it standing out all that much.
This is what saves this Books & Pearls slot from obscurity. You get two scatters, the Book and the Pearls symbol.
The Book triggers 10 free spins with one symbol acting like an expanded scatter. So that symbol will now expand, cover the reel and pay regardless of whether it’s on a payline.
It can bring you up to 5,000 x your bet wins and will be familiar to those who have played on Novomatic’s Book of Ra Magic or Play’n GO’s Book of Dead.
The Pearls scatter gives you more traditional 15 free spins with a 3x multiplier attached.
Mostly because it’s a little old fashioned. So the base game is a little slow, and nothing much happens.
The good news is that there is plenty of really good 5 of a kind wins if you are willing to wait and catch them. But really, you have to wait for three of those scatter symbols to show up.
Can you handle the frustration and the poor graphics? We probably can if we come across it on our travels across the oceans, but we suspect most of you won’t give it a second glance.
Maybe do. You might be surprised by the treasures within.

Pirate: The Pirate is wild and substitutes for all symbols except the two scatter bonus symbols.
Free Games 1: 3 or more Book scatters triggers 10 free games. At this point, a random symbol is chosen to be an expanded scatter symbol. This symbol will expand and pay regardless of whether it's on a payline.
Free Games 2: 3 or more Pearl scatter symbols triggers 15 free games, only this time all wins are multiplied by 3x.
The Books & Pearls slot on mobile isn't the prettiest of real money games around, but you can't deny that having two separate free spin bonuses isn't appealing.
After all, you get the expanded scatter symbol in one free spin bonus round and multipliers in another free spin bonus. What's not to love about Pirate slots?
Well, mostly the poor graphics and the fact that nothing much happens in the base game - you need patience to get the free spins, and that's not something we all have.
It's a good Gamomat game with lots of pearls within if you are willing to sail on a rickety boat to get to it.
