GAMOMAT to Launch The Book Beyond 2: The Quest for the Cipher Stone

Entering 2025 with a bang, renowned German slot game developer GAMOMAT is set to unveil the much-anticipated sequel, The Book Beyond 2: The Quest for the Cipher Stone, on January 23, 2025. Building on the popularity of its predecessor, The Book Beyond, this latest installment promises an exhilarating journey from the mystique of Egypt to the vibrant realms of Southern India. Players will find themselves swept into a world filled with rich visual designs, engaging gameplay mechanics, and exotic settings. The Book Beyond 2 continues the adventures of Alex, offering players a classic 5x3 layout with an engaging 10 paylines. A highlight of this new chapter is the dual Free Games feature, which introduces exciting new elements to delight players. The iconic gold-leafed book symbol reprises its dual role as both Scatter and Wild, triggering the innovative Book Feature that reveals full stacks of bonus symbols through reel motion rather than the traditional "stamping" method.

Exploring New Gameplay Features

The sequel brings fresh mechanics into play, starting with the Free Games mode. Securing three or more bonus symbols awards players 10 Free Games, setting the stage for thrilling slot action. Within this round, a designated symbol transforms into a bonus for the entire session. Players can unlock even greater rewards in the second-level Free Games mode, triggered by the golden ornate door symbols, which grants an additional 10 spins. Here, the game employs a unique nudging feature that, when activated, increases the multiplier by one, applying it to all wins amassed in a single spin.

Robert Kocher, Managing Director at GAMOMAT Distribution GmbH, expressed his enthusiasm and commented: "We’re thrilled to start the year with the upcoming release of The Quest for the Cipher Stone, the second chapter in our The Book Beyond collection. With the book still out of reach, Alex returns to continue his challenge, and players have the possibility to win and enjoy the exciting dual Free Games feature." The game is poised for broad distribution, accessible through Bragg HUB for operator partners and available for social gaming via Whow.

Juicy Joker: A Classic Revived

Prior to diving into The Book Beyond 2, GAMOMAT celebrated the successful introduction of Juicy Joker. This classic-themed slot game quickly became a favorite among players, appreciated for its retro aesthetic blended with inventive features. Juicy Joker is set within a traditional 3x3 framework, adorned with familiar fruit, bar, and bell symbols. The Joker symbol stands out, acting as a dynamic Wild, capable of expanding and accentuating wins with multipliers that vary from x2 to an impressive x5. A sequence of Joker symbols can conjure up a marvellous maximum multiplier of x60, greatly enhancing the win potential.

For moments when wins do not immediately align, Juicy Joker employs a Respin feature that locks the Joker in place, providing additional chances for a win. The gameplay is further enriched by the Card Gamble and Risk Ladder features, adding layers of thrill and strategy.

Dr. Sebastian Reddig, Chief Product Officer at GAMOMAT Development GmbH, spoke about the game's universal allure, stating: "With this release, we’re giving players a fun, retro experience that combines classic slot mechanics with engaging features. We’re expecting the game to be a big hit in the Netherlands, but the traditional symbols also mean it will appeal to a global audience."

Once again, GAMOMAT demonstrates prowess in merging traditional elements with innovative features in their slot games, ensuring a strong start to 2025.
