CSI: Crime Scene Investigation Slot Review

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation Slot Overview

The CSI: Crime Scene Investigation slot was created by the software developers Skywind Group. It was released on 30th May 2019 and is based on the hit TV show that ran on the CBS channel from 2000-2015. While there have been a number of spins offs, this game is based on the original Las Vegas show featuring the characters Sarah Slide, Catherine Willows, Nick Stokes, Greg Sanders, Jim Brass and Gil Grissom. You’ll help the forensics team solve crimes while you attempt to land huge combinations to win enormous cash prizes.

The game is played across a 5×4 grid of reels with 50 pay lines. You can place your bets from just £0.50 per spin up to a whopping £250 per spin for anyone looking to risk more to maximise the potential returns. Skywind Group has packed this slot full of action with features such as free spins, stacked symbols, mega stacks bonus prizes, and a crime scene bonus game. On top of all that, there is also the chance to trigger the maximum payout of 1000x your stake. So, there’s plenty to play for in this brilliant TV-themed slot game.

Graphics and Theme

The graphics mimic the slightly cheesy, extravagant nature of the show. The backdrop to the reels shows a panoramic view of the Las Vegas strip. Helicopters are flying through the sky searching for the murder suspect while the famous Las Vegas spotlights bounce of Cesar’s Palace and other famous landmarks. The spin button is a circular blue forensic light with a nice touch with a fingerprint impression. The reels are encased with a thin blue border, and the symbols inject even more bright colours onto your screen to create an eye-catching design.

The soundtrack is reminiscent of the theme tune from the TV show. It uses a combination of synth instruments, guitars, drums and bass guitars to create a melodramatic tune that will have you on the edge of your seat waiting for the action to happen. When you land a winning combination, you’ll hear a powerful strum from an electric guitar and big wins are signalled with a short guitar solo. Finally, when you hit spin, there’s a short clicking noise to set the reels off, and they come to a stop one by one with a gentle thudding noise.

How To Play CSI: Crime Scene Investigation Slot

The first thing you need to do is decide on your betting values. In CSI you can start betting from just £0.50 per spin up to a maximum of £250 per spin. You’ll be playing on a 5×4 set of reels with 50 pay lines so there should be plenty of opportunities to create winning combinations. To trigger the bonus rounds, you will need to land three matching bonus symbols on reels two, three or four. Finally, the maximum payout of 1000x your stake is triggered by landing a full screen of stacked Jim Brass symbols.

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation Slot Features

There are 12 symbols in the game which are split into high paying and low paying groups. The low paying symbols include crime scene objects such as a torch, a glass vile, a petri dish, a bullet, a magnifying glass and a revolver. The revolver is the most valuable out of the low paying symbols and is worth 15x your stake for five of a kind. The character symbols make up the high paying symbols and include some familiar faces from the original cast. Sarah Slide, Catherine Willows, Nick Stokes, Greg Sanders, Jim Brass and Gil Grissom are there to help you make some big wins. Jim Brass is the most valuable symbol and is worth 100x your stake for five of a kind.

There is also a wild symbol; a scatter symbol, a free games symbol and a bonus game symbol.

Crime scene bonus game

To trigger this feature, you need to land three bonus game symbols on reels two, three, and four. You will be taken to a crime scene where you’ll be presented with 12 marked items. You will need to pick four items to examine. Each pick will reveal one of three prizes which include:

Cash prize
Cash prize plus one extra pick
Cash prize plus one piece of evidence

If you manage to find four pieces of evidence with your picks, you will solve the case. The game will then multiply all your winnings from the round by two.

Free spins

Landing three free spins symbols on reels two, three and four will trigger eight free spins. Before your free spins begin, you will need to select a case file to work on with one of the characters. Only your chosen character and one randomly selected low-paying symbol will appear on the reels during the free spins round. This significantly increases your chances of making big combos.

The free spins round can be retriggered during the spins by landing three more free spins symbols.

Mega stacks bonus

Each character symbol has a stacked symbol which takes over an entire reel. If you are lucky enough to land a full screen of stacked character symbols, you will trigger the corresponding mega stacks bonus. The mega stacks bonus is paid out on top of the line wins. So, you effectively get paid twice! Here’s what you get…

Greg Sanders – x30
Sarah Slide – x30
Nick Stokes – x40
Catherine Willows – x50
Gil Grissom – x60
Jim Brass – x100
