Play Il Commissario for Free

Even though you’re not the one at fault, a fine needs to be paid if you’re to access this crime scene. As far as costs go, this isn’t too steep at 40 credits, but nor is it accessible enough for all players; usually the brand provides a lower starting point, but that isn’t the case here. If you have the cash to flash and are keen to do so, you can increase your stake via the (+) widget and go all the way to 10,000 credits. That’s quite the bet!

Rather frustratingly, there’s no maximum bet option for you to take advantage of here, which means you’re going to be going manual for every game you play. Thankfully that isn’t the case with the auto spins, although it’s a start and stop feature rather than a select the number of rounds. Beggars can’t be choosers though, are we right?

Something about this case smells fishy to you, and it isn’t just the stench that comes off of Venice and its surrounding waters – something is wrong here. If you’re to get to the bottom of it, you need to get three or more of the scatter symbol. The case file icon not only rewards you 15 extra games, but also a very unique bonus round, actually linked to the free rounds.

When you’re within the free games format, red telephone symbols will keep appearing, delivering you clues about the investigation. There’s no guarantee how many will turn up, but the more you find the more clues you gain, and therefore the more suspects you can narrow down.

Once the games are over, you’ll be presented with the list of people left. A lot would be at stake under normal circumstances, but here money is on the line as well; if you choose incorrectly you lose the chance to win a x20 multiplier!

The volatility here is high, which although fitting for the theme, it’s going to be very annoying as the game progresses and you want to get closer to a win. As a general rule, Novomatic are of a medium difficulty, but here it feels like the challenge starts to creep up even higher than that. All in all, this isn’t one for those who haven’t got the guts to see this through to the end.

Oddly enough, it doesn’t hurt the entertainment factor here, for the feature game and free spins more than make up for the lack of originality elsewhere. This is one of the brand’s best games, and it’s all because of that bonus level.

We went in with low expectations and left with an elated sense of accomplishment and satisfaction; Il Commissario is an excellent game from Novomatic, with a bonus round that steals the show.

This free slot game is one that every slot player should try out, even if it’s only a demo mode. There’s a lot of fun to be had in finding the correct suspect, despite the amount of cash on the line.
