PLAYTECH SHERLOCK MYSTERY SLOT REVIEW
Our very favorite detective is back at work! He’s solving yet another murder mystery and wants you to join forces with himself and Watson to catch the criminal. Do you think you’ve got what it takes? 

The Sherlock Mystery video slot was released by developer Playtech in 2014, is playable on both mobile and PC and it features a simple setup of 5 reels and 20 paylines. You can try it right here for free or bet real money in our Real Money Slots section. 

HOW TO PLAY THE SHERLOCK MYSTERY SLOT
This 3D slot provides a decent betting range, fit for both low and high roller play styles ($0.20 - $40) and a good RTP of 94%, along with a medium level of variance. So if you’re looking for an adrenaline fix, this is not the game for you. However, it’s perfect for those players who enjoy casual fun with decent yet constant wins. 

When it comes to the symbols, these range from low to high paying and are beautifully crafted in a vintage style. You’ll see some playing card icons (9, 10, J, Q, K, A) on the low paying side and some tools that will help you solve the murder (envelope knives and revolvers) on the medium paying side. 

SHERLOCK MYSTERY SLOT FEATURES

• Wild symbol. Moriarty himself is here to play the role of the Wild symbol, serving to replace any other symbol on the reels except for the Scatter and the Bonus. He’s also the most lucrative symbol in the main game, awarding you with 10.000 coins if you land 5 in the same spin.
   
• Scatter symbol. The Scatter symbol is represented by the street sign and will trigger the Free Spins game mode. It can appear on any reel and it can’t be replaced by the Wild.
   
• Free Spins feature. As soon as you land 3 or more Scatters in the same spin, you’ll trigger the Free Spins feature. You’ll get started with 10 free spins and you’ll also have some extra Wilds that come with different multipliers. Technically, there’s no limit on how many times you can retrigger this feature. 
   
• Sherlock Meets Watson feature. This is a little bonus feature that can be triggered in the main game by landing the two detective pals next to each other. When this happens, you’ll get 3x your stake.
   
• Crime Scene Minigame. You can trigger this bonus round by landing the magnifying glass bonus symbol on reels 1, 3 and 5 in the same lucky spin. You’ll get to play a simple click me game which will present you with 8 pieces of evidence from which you’ll have to pick. Each of them comes with an instant cash prize.
   
• Autoplay feature. If you’re ever in need of a break, you can always use the Autoplay feature. You can set up to 99 automatic spins while you sit back, relax and enjoy as the game plays itself for you. 
   
• Turbo Mode. If you feel like the reels are spinning too slow, you can use the Turbo Mode to speed them up. 

All in all, we can definitely say that this slot has won our hearts. We’re particularly fond of the Victorian graphics and the whole atmosphere. But of course, we wouldn’t recommend it if not for its exciting features and fun mechanics that will keep you coming back to it time after time. So what are you waiting for? Put on your detective hat and help Sherlock and Watson solve the mystery!
