Play The Perfect Crime for Free

To follow the clues and obtain the rewards, there are up to 25 paylines to follow as part of the ongoing investigation. These will give you the leads and successful combinations of symbols will payout prizes along the way. Four playing card symbols each carry a potential murder weapon and play animations when lined up on a payline. The 10 holds the gun, easy for a suspect to shoot the victim from behind. The Jack has the rope to hang a victim and make it look like suicide. The Queen has the dagger, easy to conceal for a quick killing. The King has a candlestick for a swift blow to the head and the Ace has poison, the most silent of killers.

The wild symbol is the group of suspects, each one capable of murder and the symbol helps boost winning combinations. It’s also the high paying symbol on the reels with a match of their own kind to secure. The suspects have beneficial values too on the pay table, with Miss Marie bringing the best rewards. Joining her are Dr David, Professor Alan, Mrs Rose, Lady Isabel and Major Phillip, all have seemingly solid alibis and payouts to match.

With any base game win, a gamble feature is included to double up the prize amount. You get to pick a card to match the suit colour. That isn’t the only picking you get to do. The free games feature holds the key to the crime, and the library. Get three keys and everyone will gather in the library as you get to scrutinise each suspect with a magnifying glass to pick your final 3 main suspects. Whoever is picked will give the number of free spins to be awarded and these will be with a multiplier of x2 on any prizes won.

If you have the killer in the final 3, this will be raised to a multiplier of x5. Your detective badge plays as the scatter symbol of the game and these will pay out according to the pay table which has cracking rewards for solving a crime. It’s all in a day's work for a detective playing a decent betting range. Starting at 0.01 for the minimum stake and as much as 125 coins can be wagered at the high end, which is good news if playing for real cash.

If the crime fighting bug has you gripped, try A Night of Mystery video slot by High 5 Games. It has another 5 reels of murder and mystery to solve, with fun and prizes along the way. There’s a quartet of sassy femme fatales plus a detective set in this Victorian crime caper. Solving the case using clues collected is fun as it pays well to collect as many clues as possible. With wild symbols, stacked wilds and free games scatters that trigger a bonus round, there are 40 paylines to secure rewards on as players ascertain who the murderer is. It’s also mobile optimised with compatibility with the major brands of devices.

The Perfect Crime may not be everyone's idea of a perfect online slot. It hasn’t got the latest 3D graphics or special standalone bonus rounds. What it has got however, is a great cartoon design and jazzy music to keep the pace lively, plus medium volatility that keeps the bounties dropping comfortably. It’s a great piece of casino slot machine entertainment and one of many titles from the Spanish developer R Franco. The ‘whodunit’ formula may be a classic one that has been shared over film, television and even popular board games.  Nonetheless, it never seems to gets tired and with no shortage of crime busters waiting to step up to the plate and solve a mystery.
