All leading software providers offer online slots based on the theme of Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock Mystery from Playtech is one of the best because it directly and closely associates with the legendary fictional detective. You can play Sherlock Mystery at all Playtech online casinos like Mansion Casino and Omni Casino.

Sherlock Mystery is a 20 selectable paylines video slot. The line bet varies from 0.01 credits to 100 credits. The wild symbol is surprisingly an unnamed villain. It could be any from the numerous that abound in Sherlock Holmes stories. The villain also awards the top line payout of 10,000 coins making Sherlock Mystery a high variance slot game. The next two symbols are Holmes and Watson depicted as they usually have been described by their creator Arthur Conan Doyle. In the win animations, Holmes smokes his pipe and Watson sips from a cup of tea. If Holmes meets Watson on his immediate right anywhere on the reels you are awarded 3x the total bet and treated to the famous but apocryphal line “Elementary my dear Watson”. The other symbols include Holmes’ revolver and letter opener and the playing card icons. The list of Holmes’ memorabilia is long and more thematic symbols could have been used. His famous hat, pipe and violin come to mind.

The 221b Baker Street address plate is the scatter symbol. When three or more appear anywhere on the reels you are awarded scatter payouts and taken to the free games feature. The top scatter payout is 500 times the total bet. You are awarded 10 free games with the revolver symbol acting as an extra wild and a random multiplier that can be 2x, 3x or 5x. These are applied only to wins using the extra wild symbol. The free games feature can be retriggered infinitely.

The magnifying glass bonus symbol starts the thematic Crime Scene bonus game on the second screen when it appears simultaneously on reels 1, 3 and 5. The scene of crime is a bedroom in London where there are eight pieces of evidence. You play Watson and select the evidence in any order you want to. Each pick awards bonus credits and words of encouragement from Holmes. When you hit a Collect, the feature ends.

London Inspector from Realtime Gaming and Victorian Villain from Microgaming also allude to Sherlock Holmes, without any direct reference. Sherlock Holmes from IGT is a branded slot game based on The Hunt for Blackwood.
