Sherlock of London

It doesn’t take a Sherlock to figure out that Sherlock Holmes is one of the most iconic characters to ever have emerged out of fiction. Many companies have produced their own version of this reasoning detective, especially as the new films made the character even more popular.

This Rabcat slot aims to please the audiences by adding a bit of humour to the reels, not to mention the big wins and entertaining special features. Take a deeper look at the details below or jump straight into the fun with the demo game.

Theme

Rabcat doubles as an art studio on top of their gaming endeavours, so it is no surprise that the graphics in their game are amongst the best. The company has chosen to portray the characters and events in a bit more comical and cartoonish way, which fits the theme quite well. 

The music and sound effects add their own level of excitement to the game. The symbols are quite well stylished, and even the playing card ranks are not immediately recognizable as such. The game could have used some animations, but at least this way it’s not too heavy for mobile devices or slow internet connections.

Betting Options and Functions

we all know what a standard slot looks like: it’s five reels with three symbols on each reel. Sherlock of London, always a man of logic, would rightfully deduct that most likely the payline setup is standard as well. And it is, with 25 paylines running from left to right. And yes, three to five symbols are needed for a win.

The wins are quite handsome as is the man himself. There’s a total of eleven symbols, with most of these paying out wins between three and 200 times your line bet. The four top symbols pay between 12 and 1000 times your line bet. This includes the wild, which has some surprises in store.

Features

The wild substitutes for all other symbols. More importantly, if there are multiple wilds on the reels they will connect to each other through the shortest route, turning all other symbols on the route into wilds...

...that’s not all though! If there are two (and only two) wilds on adjacent positions they will double all wins for that spin. Is that all? No. If there is a lonely wild on the first or second reels it will activate one or two bonus spins. For both spins the wild will remain sticky on the reels. 

Three or more scatters will reward the player with ten bonus spins. These come with expanding wilds, which can cover the entire reel. Furthermore, Dr Watson will transform into a much wilder version of himself, though he still needs the help of Sherlock to activate any bonus features.

Our Take

This game is simply full of wilds. The way these work together with the bonus features adds a whole new dimension to the game. Combined with the multipliers extra wins and extra spins the 25 paylines and top win of 1000 times the bet can amount to substantial prizes. And the game is pretty entertaining by itself, too.
