Book of Fusion

Given the length of time Light & Wonder/SG Digital has been making online slots, it might be a surprise to find out that Book of Fusion is its first 'book' slot. The studio has dabbled in all manner of topics through the years while holding off from having a crack at this immensely popular style of play. Despite the huge number of these sorts of slots already in circulation, there is something about them that compels others to want to add their version to the bunch. To Light & Wonder's credit, they've done something relatively unorthodox in terms of both theme and features. Maybe not groundbreakingly so, yet the alterations do qualify as a twist. Ancient Egypt is where these games started from, and there are solid options to be found there, but there are so many of them that it is nice to break away and visit somewhere else. Not only is the science angle different, but it also provides the opportunity to use a bunch of electric lightning effects and cool imagery. It brought to mind the spirit ofPragmatic Play'sThe Wild MachineorSkywind Group'sAlive! Megaways, except in a 'book of' form, which you don't see every day. Another thing you don't see every day is being awarded two expanding symbols at a time compared to the usual one.Play'n GO'sLegacy of Deadhad the idea of adding additional expanding symbols on retriggers, though again, that was one at a time, not the two at a time you get here. Maybe one day in the future, developers will run out of twists to inject into these games. Until then, it's a credit to studios that keep coming up with new ideas. Book of Fusion isn't as revolutionary as the widespread adoption of fusion power would be, and in some ways, it's missing the weight that thousands of years of Egyptian history pressing down can have. However, its differences should help make it a point of interest for 'book of' completists after something rarely seen elsewhere.
