The Sherlock Files Slot

Overview

No matter where you grew up, chances are extremely high you heard of the famous Sherlock Holmes and his companion Dr. Watson. Sherlock has been a source of inspiration since the year he appeared in Arthur Conan Doyle’s novel for the first time and has been well represented in everything from movies, TV shows, other works of fiction as well as on a variety of other products. Now Sherlock Holmes will lend his skills to solving a mystery that was designed by Red Rake Gaming, with astonishing visuals, extremely engaging and entertaining bonus features as well as challenging gameplay on 5 reels and 30 fixed paylines.

Graphics & Audio

The Sherlock Files deliver what you would expect in terms of outstanding graphics that literally bring the whole theme and intriguing story to life on the reels. We see an 19th century office in the background, full of evidence and links to the case Sherlock is trying to solve, while the reels are encased by wood and metal and give off a somewhat Steam punk vibe throughout the entire game. There is also highly dramatic music playing in the back, which will create the ideal atmosphere for a memorable slot experience.

Gameplay

The Sherlock Files have 2 special symbols – the Magnifying Glass Wild and the Sherlock Holmes Scatter, which will activate the Free Spins bonus feature.

While the Wild symbol will substitute for all other symbols except the Scatter in forming winning combos, the Sherlock Scatter will trigger the Free Spins bonus game if players manage to land 3 or more Sherlock Bonus symbols on the reels. They will then receive 7 free spins and can pick from 3 different bonuses that are active during this round – the Gardener Retrigger, the Butler Multiplier and the Wild Maid, each with a special feature.
