While we’ve only been able to check out some limited previews of Spinning Detectives, but we have a pretty good idea of what to expect from the game when it is released. The game appears to be quite similar to the recent WMS Clue slot machine, which was released to live casinos back in 2014. The game is a five-reel machine with four symbol positions per column, providing more ways for players to win.
The entire game takes place on a nighttime screen, with the infamous mansion serving as a backdrop for the reels themselves. When it comes to the symbols you’ll be matching on the reels, it all starts with the classic poker ranks, with aces providing the biggest prizes from this group.
Bigger wins come by matching some of the infamous murder weapons from the universe of the board game, like wrenches, pipes, and candlesticks. But perhaps the most interesting symbols of all are the dossiers of each of the potential suspects. We especially liked these because each of the game’s famous characters are portrayed by a real actor or actress, which makes them feel a bit more human than they might otherwise. It’s one thing to hear the names Miss Scarlett, Mrs. Peacock, Mr. Green, and Professor Plum, but it’s another experience altogether when you’re able to put faces to those names.
