Everybody knows the timeless love story of Romeo and Juliet, the two characters from William Shakespeare’s famous play. Now, a few centuries later, this story has become the symbol of love, inspiring several songs and movies.
The developers at Gamomat have decided to make an attempt at including this story into a video slot: Book of Romeo and Julia Golden Nights. Let’s see if the gameplay manages to get us into that romantic mood.
Theme
The reels are set in a beautiful landscape, it looks like a small village in the hills of Tuscany but it could be pretty much anywhere in Italy. We can see a river and a couple of houses in the background, but much of it is blocked by the opaque grid.
The symbols include the portraits of the two lovebirds, along with a letter and a pretty sharp-looking knife. Unfortunately there is no music playing in the background and the sound effects are exactly what you can hear in a land-based casino while playing slots.
That pretty much ruins the atmosphere, if you expect to get into a love-story mood you will certainly be disappointed.
Betting Options and Functions
The game is played on a standard grid with 5 reels and 3 rows, offering 10 selectable paylines. Winning combinations can be formed only starting with the leftmost reel, and you will need at least three matching symbols in succession to get a prize.
You can choose to bet either on 5 lines or on the whole 10 of them, with a minimum bet of just 1 cent per line. The most you can bet in this game is 10 euros per line. This is a high-volatility slot, with a return to player percentage of 96.12.
Features
The Book is the most important symbol in this game, as it acts both as Wild and Scatter. It can replace any of the other icons in the game, making it easier for you to form winning combinations, but it can also pay by themselves when you have at least three of them anywhere on screen.
Moreover, when you get at least three Books on screen you will be rewarded with 10 Free Spins. The free rolls will start with the choice of a Bonus Symbol, which will grant you some extra satisfaction during the round.
The game also includes the Golden Nights Bonus Feature, which you can try to trigger with an additional bet for every spin. This is a jackpot side game, with three treasure chests that will have to be opened to reveal their contents.
Each of them has a number of points assigned, and the sum of those points will determine the size of the jackpot that you will take away.
Every winning spin comes with a Gamble option for you, either a red-or-black card game in which you can double the prize or a Ladder game.
Conclusion
Book of Romeo and Julia Golden Nights is a classic video slot from German company Gamomat, another title in their series of “Book” slots. The gameplay is not bad and the special features do add some excitement and potentially big prizes.
However, the game fails to create any sort of atmosphere, mainly because of the really poor soundscape. Nevertheless, this is a game that surely is worth trying for those of you who like to chase a jackpot.
