Book of Oasis

Book of Oasis Review

The developer utilizes the popular 'book' mechanics and once again returns to ancient Egypt with the Book of Oasis slot. While it offers really little new both on the inside and the outside, the idea behind the game is not to deliver yet another Egyptian slot, but to raise awareness of worldwide ecology issues.

Book of Oasis - Slot Outlook

With Book of Oasis, a part of the revenue is donated to protect the climate. The initiative is called Gaming for the Climate, and Book of Oasis is the first slot to be involved in the project. It collaborates with the Healthy Seas organization, which supports numerous projects targeting the protection of water resources, including removal of nets and plastic from the oceans as well as education and awareness programs with fishermen and schools.

This takes us back to the Book of Oasis slot, which showcases what may have happened to Egypt if people really cared about the environment. We see lush greenery and a full-on river, stretching out to the mighty pyramids. A pretty sight indeed. To the right is sitting a hidden water temple, which a brave adventurer Dr. Jeffrey Robertson came to explore. Both graphics and animations are pleasing to the eye, as it has been made sure that Book of Oasis is an absolutely striking slot to look at. The soundtrack is also on spot, as enigmatic Egyptian music adds a final touch to the general atmosphere.

Dominating the view is a standard 5x3 reel set, and players can select between 5 and 10 win lines to play with. The volatility is high, while the RTP is slightly above average at 96.15%. The maximum win potential clocks at 5,000x the stake, which is somewhat of a standard in the niche.

As we head over to the paytable, we see four card suits symbols that make up the lower pays, as well as a bunch of Egyptian premium symbols. In ascending order we get lotus flowers, ankhs, amphoras, and pharaoh masks, all topped by Dr. Jeffrey Robertson, who's a top star here. Three or more matching symbols create a winning combo, except the four top-paying premiums that need only two. 5-of-a-kind low symbol wins are worth 10x your bet, and higher value symbols pay from 25x to 500x the stake. With 5 paylines selected though, the payouts are doubled.

Book of Oasis - Bonus Features

Much like in any other 'book' game, the book symbol acts as both Wild and Scatter. First and foremost, it substitutes for any other regular symbol to help you achieve payouts. Secondly, it's used to trigger the Free Spins bonus game, where most wins come from.

Whenever 3 or more Scatter symbols appear anywhere on the reels during the base game, players receive 10 Free Spins, and a random regular symbol is chosen to become a bonus symbol for the remainder of the feature. 3, 4, or 5 triggering book symbols also award a payout of 2x, 20x, or 200x the stake respectively.

During the free games, after normal line wins are evaluated, bonus symbols expand over the entire reel if a winning combination is possible. Those pay anywhere on the reels, meaning that they don't necessarily have to land adjacently. Finally, retriggers are possible, and 3 or more Scatters landing during the bonus award +10 extra spins.

Two gamble features are also included in the Book of Oasis slot for players to increase their winnings. The first is the classic Card Gamble, where players need to guess the card color. If the answer is correct, the payout will be doubled, otherwise, all winnings will be lost, though, it's also possible to gamble only half of your gain. The second is the Ladder Gamble, which allows advancing on the trail for higher potential wins. Both features are repeatable, so it's possible to gamble multiple times until you either fail or reach the highest prize.

Book of Oasis - Slot Verdict

Book of Oasis isn't for sure the most special slot out there, but the fact that doesn't just think of gambling as a way to gain income, but also as a way to increase social awareness of global climate problems is admirable. While there's really no point in switching between hundreds of similar 'book' games, Book of Oasis gives you a solid reason why you should consider it over many other games. It's a good deed the developers are doing, so we won't accuse of the cloning process.
