Book of Restby Evoplay Entertainment

Books have been quite popular in the igaming world recently. Book of This, Book of That, books everywhere.

Maybe it’s time to give them…

…a rest?

Developer Evoplay Entertainment doesn’t think so. While it is called Book of Rest, it’s actually about tourism and vacations.

Theme

This is one of those slots that has a main character. We don’t know his name, but he is the model tourist. Cargo shorts, Tommy Bahama shirt, and a dumb smile.

A camera too, of course.

He does look a little bit annoying, so credit goes to the developer for the degree of realism displayed.

The vacation destination is Egypt and the background consists of pyramids and other locales from this North African country.

When it comes to the art style…

…the game goes for a friendly and goofy vibe. And it pulls it off. Everything feels breezy and hassle-free. Like a really good vacation should.

The symbols…

…further enhance the vibe. On the lower end there is the typical travel paraphernalia like suitcases, swimming gear, and tropical drinks. For the higher-paying suites it’s cartoon renditions of scorpions (lots of them in the desert), fishes, camels, and cats.

We assume the cat is a nod to the Egyptian goddess Bastet.

Overall, it’s a fun and easy-going atmosphere in this video slot that’s all about the joys of travelling.

Betting Options and Functions

What could be more relaxing than a 5x3 grid with 20 fixed paylines? Absolutely nothing. It’s warm and familiar and very classic.

Among the other relaxing options is autoplay. It’s hard to keep clicking with a fancy drink in your hands so you can just automate it and let the game play itself for a while.

Turbo mode also makes an appearance…

…to make animations go by faster.

Simply put, the offering has everything you need to have for a fun and engaging experience.

Special Features

This is an area in which the game excels because in addition to the requisite extra spins mode there are also random perks.

There are three of them and they can activate any time during the base game. The “Mixing” feature will shuffle the symbols around in order to create a win. Another feature is the “Sticky Line” in which winning symbols stay on the reel while a respin plays out. Finally, there is “Miracle Reflection” where the reels are mirrored to make a winning combination.

Speaking of respins…

…there are quite a few of them. They’re tied to the Book symbol which is also a wild. Anytime this symbol appears a respin will be triggered while the Book becomes sticky. And if another one lands – there will be another respin. The Books will remain sticky as long as there are respins going on.

Three Books…

…will trigger the extra spin mode. The twist here is that one symbol will be randomly selected to become expanding and cover the entire reel.

Our Take

There are a lot of titles in the “Book of” genre and we asked at the beginning if it’s time to give it all a rest.

Well…

…this effort by Evoplay proves that there is still a lot of steam left in the concept. Even if it has to take a holiday now and then.

With charming graphics and a whole host of features, this is one vacation that you’d be a fool not to go on.
