Sherlock Holmes Slot Review & Game Bonus

Sherlock Holmes slot machine is a game from IGT slots that is based on the 2009 film featuring Robert Downey Jr. As with many film adaptations much of the imagery on the 5 reels is taken from the characters in the film, and there are 30 paylines and a jackpot of just 500x. So, none of that sounds particularly interesting, but, the game actually has 3 bonus rounds, one of which is a free spins bonus that offers up to 15 free spins.  You can read all about the game in the full Sherlock Holmes slot review below.

Sherlock Holmes Slot Review & Game Bonus

The Sherlock Holmes slot from IGT is a five-reel, 30-payline slot that is essentially a spin-off of the 2009 film blockbuster starring Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law as the dynamic detective duo.

As such, the Sherlock Holmes slot machine game features both actors in their Sherlock and Doctor Watson guises on its reels, with a range of other characters from the movie also making an appearance to create an authentic slot homage. The music is suitably atmospheric for the super sleuth’s latest adventure, which sees him chase the titular Blackwood in a series of bonus rounds that have the potential to award huge prizes.

Playable from as little as £0.60 per spin across all desktop, mobile and tablet devices, the slot is an entertaining romp through Victorian England that enables players to land a special “picker” feature in the base game from which cash prizes, a bonus wheel and a free spins feature can all be accessed.

A Most Exciting Adventure

Activated whenever bonus cogs appear on the first, third and fifth reels during any base game spin, the picker feature transports players to Sherlock’s room, where they will initially be able to select five items to unveil cash prizes, additional picks or – ultimately – one of two further bonus features.

The first is the Blackwood Wheel and is activated by uncovering three or more corresponding icons. This transports players to a wheel in which a number of pointers will land on sections of the board to award prizes. Landing on a Blackwood wedge will deactivate a pointer, while landing on a Sherlock wedge will reactivate them all, with the game finishing after ten spins or when no pointers remain.

The second feature is The Hunt free spins game. This will award 10 or 15 free spins based on the number of map symbols uncovered in the picker feature, with players taken to a new set of reels where five locations of Blackwood’s crimes will be marked. Should a Sherlock or Watson symbol land in these spots it will turn into a locked wild, while activating all five will double your total bonus win.

A High-Functioning Slot Machine?

Featuring all the charm and wit of the modern Sherlock series plus a number of exciting bonus rounds, the Sherlock Holmes slot is certainly a welcome addition to IGT’s canon of film-based slots.
