Riddle Reels

Riddle Reels Overview

Time to start looking for clues and catching criminals in Play’n Go’s Riddle Reels. The game partners you up with a Sherlock Holmes inspired detective who is out to help you uncover your way to some potentially huge winnings.

Theme & Design

Riddle Reels takes place in 20th Century England, with one of London’s many darkly lit alleys acting as the game’s backdrop. Fans of Sherlock Holmes are going to fall in love with this game thanks to its great design and its clear homages to the character’s works.

The symbols on the reels take inspiration from the books – with Irene Adler, Charles Augustus Milverton, Eugenia Ronder, Sherlock’s greatest nemesis, and Professor Moriarty all making appearances, as well as a gun, a knife, and various other weapons that tie into the murder mystery theme.

The soundtrack is suitably atmospheric. It does a fantastic job in immersing you in early 20th century London, and the visuals help this along the way.

Riddle Reels Game Promotions

Riddle Reels’ biggest selling point is the abundance of special features and bonus rounds to offer to players. Firstly, the slot has a wild symbol which can substitute for all other symbols to create a winning combination. This is no ordinary wild though, as it can also include a multiplier that can seriously boost the winnings of said combination.

The game’s main bonus round is the Case of Riches, and this can be triggered by landing three scatter symbols on the reels. If you manage to land two, you will be rewarded with a re-spin to attempt to get a third; if you fail again, you will get a mystery bonus round to win a cash prize as a consolation.

If, however, you are lucky enough to trigger the bonus game, then you best get your detective hat at the ready because you are going to help Sherlock solve a mystery. This mystery then unravels on a 3D game board, where players must help Sherlock move around and collect clues. Players must roll a dice to move him around and collect the necessary amount.

If you successfully find the clues and crack the case, you will return to the main reel where you will be given a mega spin. This will utilise the aforementioned mystery symbol bonus and the wild multipliers to secure a potentially huge win.

This is an absolutely fantastic addition to the game. Not only does it tie with the theme well, but it also breaks up the monotony of just hitting spin time and time again.
