Sherlock Holmes is one of Britain’s best-loved characters. He first appeared in print in the late 19th century and in the decades that followed his adventures were written, re-written, adapted, and re-told thousands of times. In fact, there have been tens of thousands of stage adaptions, dozens of TV shows, several films, multiple board games, and now he has his own slot machine!
Sherlock Mystery is a small piece of this giant detective canon and it drops players into the mysterious and intriguing world originally crafted by the brilliant mind of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

When the Bonus symbol appears on the first, third, and final reels, the main feature will activate, transporting you to a crime scene and putting you in the shoes of Sherlock Holmes. The goal is to choose from 8 pieces of evidence, potentially revealing a cash prize behind all of them.
If the “Collect” symbol appears, the feature will end and all prizes earned to that point will be released. In addition to the Crime Scene Bonus, there is an Extra Games feature that triggers 10 Free Games with an Extra Wild and Random Multiplier.
The Scatter also unlocks an instant win, offering 5x for 3 of them, 25x for 4, and 200x for all 5. There is another small feature to look out for as well, one that is activated when Sherlock faces off against Watson.
If these two main game symbols face one another (with Watson on the right of Sherlock) the total payout will be boosted by 3x.
