We haven’t players too many OpenBet online slots over the years but the ones we have tried have generally been enjoyable and creative. Sherlock’s Reel Mystery is one more to add to the list and it’s a fast-moving game which of course features the talents and problem-solving skills of Sherlock Holmes of 221b Baker Street. There’s also several bonus features and a progressive jackpot to contend with.
Sherlock’s Reel Mystery is a five reel and twenty payline game which looks great; fog-shrouded lamplights occupy the background and there are some entertaining symbols on the reels. all of which animate when they form winning combinations.
Those symbol include Inspector Lestrade, the Baker Street sign, three cases labelled with Q, K and A, Dr, Watson, a fierce dog and Moriarty.
The wild is a gun emitting a ‘wild’ flag and there are four bonus symbols – Sherlock Holmes, his violin, a safe and a magnifying glass.
