Sherlock is an exciting game and a rarity from Gameplay Interactive with its progressive jackpot. Players are met with orchestral music which creates an urgent and serious atmosphere from the beginning. In the background is a retro style room with young Sherlock on the left of the screen dressed in a dark overcoat and green scarf. There is an armchair to the left and an open window with books on the floor to the right.

The reels in the centre of the screen contain various interesting symbols related to detecting, such as a microscope, fingerprints, and pocket book, along with a newspaper, Baker Street wild symbol, violin, baseball cap and a man wearing a slate blue outfit.

There are 30 fixed paylines to give the maximum number of ways to win each spin. You can change your bet by clicking the line bet arrows to move from a minimum bet of €0.10 per payline to a maximum bet of €1.20 per payline. This gives an incredible betting range of €0.30 per spin up to €36.00 per spin. This relatively small range is ideal for low and middle rollers but does not really give enough space at the top of the betting range for the highest rollers. The smallest rollers of all may also find €0.30 a little high for their lowest bets.

The highest paying symbol in the game is the Baker Street address icon, which awards 5,000x your bet for 5 matching icons on the reels. This is also the wild icon which means it stands in for all the other symbols in the game, except for the scatter and bonus symbols to create more potential winning combinations.

The second-best symbol is Sherlock himself, who awards up to 500x your bet for 5 matching symbols. The violin pays up to 300x your bet for 5 matching symbols, the baseball cap pays up to 200x your bet, and the man in the slate blue outfit pays up to 150x your bet for 5 symbols.

The lowest payouts come from the other symbols, including the microscope, which pays up to 125x your bet, the pocket book, which pays up to 100x your bet, the finger prints, which pays up to 75x your bet, and the newspaper, which pays up to 50x your bet for 5 matching symbols on the reels.

If you spin at least 3 of the scattered Big Ben icons you will trigger the free spins round. Spinning 3 Big Bens awards 12 free spins, while 4 Big Bens awards 25 free spins and 5 Big Bens on the reels awards the maximum 50 free spins. This is a huge number of free spins and can make a big difference to your bankroll!

If you spin the special combination of the Sherlock symbol on the middle reel, along with the baseball cap on reel 1 and the violin on reel 5 you trigger the re-spins round. Select either the baseball cap or the violin to reveal the number of re-spins you have been awarded. During the re-spins Sherlock stays in place on the middle reel.

For another special feature, spinning 3 or more of the crime scene symbols on the reels triggers the Crime Scene Bonus round! Select the object from the bag to reveal your multiplier then pick 3 items from the crime scene to catch the killer and receive more rewards.

There is a progressive jackpot in Sherlock! This can be triggered at any time but the higher your bet the bigger your chances of hitting a top payout – playing at max bet gives you the best chance of a lucky win. The jackpot wheel has 10 coloured wedges representing the different progressive jackpot prizes - you need to spin the wheel to reveal your jackpot prize.

Sherlock is a fun and exciting slot machine with a great theme and lots of different bonus features to give many ways to win. Players will never get bored playing Sherlock because there is always something happening. The symbols and graphics are excellent and each winning symbol has its own animation and sound effect to and to the interest and atmosphere. There are many winning opportunities here and the re-spins trigger regularly. The bonus game is fun as you can help Sherlock catch the killer, while the progressive jackpot always lurking in the background means you never know when luck will strike!
