How Riddle Reels: A Case of Riches works

In the world of online casinos, online game providers are constantly redoubling their efforts to offer the growing number of players slot machines that are not only volatile and have a very high winning potential, but also have an original theme that will appeal to the greatest number of people! Indeed, providers must take into account the originality, which has become essential in the realization of a successful slot! Amongst the themes that come back and above all that please, there are those that use universes with famous characters. And this is notably the case of the slot machine that we are going to present to you today. Welcome to Riddle Reels: A Case of Riches, a slot from Play'n GO.

Released at the very end of July 2020, this creation is available at many of the online casinos featured on Lucky7Bonus. Riddle Reels: A Case of Riches is a slot that takes you to 19th century London, England, where your mission is to help Sherlock Holmes, the most famous detective of all, and his equally famous assistant, Dr. Watson, in their quest to solve crimes that may lead you to the fortune hidden in this slot. The graphics here are of very good quality, as are the animations and the musical atmosphere, which are of very good quality and blend perfectly with the universe of this creation. The starting grid is relatively small, as it consists of three columns, each containing three symbols. The Play'n GO slot has two features in the base game, while it is also possible to unlock free games in this slot.

The features in the base game use the Scatter symbol. If two Scatters appear on your game grid, then the Respin feature is triggered. The two reels with scatters remain in place while the third is replayed in the hope of getting a third scatter, which will allow you to access the bonus feature, which we'll cover in the dedicated section. However, if another Scatter symbol doesn't appear on the re-spin, the Mystery Feature is triggered instead. Each Scatter then duplicates to cover their respective reels, randomly revealing a common or premium symbol.

Riddle Reels: A Case of Riches has a volatility that is considered average and a payout rate of up to 96.22%, depending on how you play, which puts it in the middle of the pack when it comes to slots on the market. The maximum payout is 5,000 times your original bet, a very attractive jackpot found on many of the provider's slot machines.

The different symbols in Riddle Reels: A Case of Riches

Riddle Reels: A Case of Riches is a slot game that has a number of symbols, which are perfectly in keeping with the world it deals with. These symbols can be separated into two categories: the common symbols and the premium symbols. In addition, there is also a wild symbol, represented here by the famous duo Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. As with many online games, this symbol can substitute for any symbol. But that's not all, as this symbol also acts as a Scatter and can also be accompanied by a x2 or x3 multiplier, making it very lucrative as it can pay out up to 324 times your original bet!

Let's move on to the classic symbols. First of all you have the common symbols. These symbols are considered so because they appear much more regularly, which makes them easier to connect, but their payout is less interesting. There are four of them and they are represented by different weapons:

• The rope

• The monkey spanner

• The knife

• The gun

Below you will find the potential winnings of each common symbol in relation to a bet of one euro.

Then you have the premium symbols, of which there are also four. The reason these symbols are considered as such is that, unlike the common symbols, the premium symbols appear much less often and are therefore more complicated to connect, but have a more interesting payout. They are represented by various suspects, which can earn you up to 12 times your starting bet.

As with the common symbols, below you will find the potential winnings of each premium symbol in relation to a bet of one euro.

The connections in Riddle Reels: A Case of Riches

In Play'n GO's Riddle Reels: A Case of Riches slot machine, as you'll have gathered, the game grid is small to say the least, with only three reels of three symbols. As a result, the connection system is just as small.

Indeed, the Play'n GO slot offers you only 9 fixed paylines to allow you to make connections, which you can find on the screen below. To make a connection and collect winnings, you need to line up a minimum of three identical symbols on the first three reels. Note that on this slot, connections only work from left to right and only the highest win per line is paid out.

How the bonus works in Riddle Reels: A Case of Riches

As mentioned earlier in the introduction, it is quite possible to access a bonus feature on Riddle Reels: A Case of Riches. To unlock the free games in Play'n GO's slot machine, all you need to do is land three Scatter symbols on your game grid, represented by our detective duo.

This is where things get complicated and your deductive skills are put to the test. You will be faced with a game board consisting of 14 squares, each containing a clue. The function provides five clues, one is obtained at the start, while the other four are obtained as you move around the board. A die is rolled four times, moving you from 1 to 6 squares. Each clue grants you between 1 and 3 free spins, as well as one of the following four features:

• Weapon : all weapon symbols are transformed into a single symbol of this category

• Suspect : all suspect symbols change to a single symbol of that category

• A reel full of Wild symbols

• Nothing

You need to get 1, 2 or 4 winning spins during the free games to complete the clue. This earns you clue points which you can use to fill a counter. If the counter is completely filled after all four rolls have been used, you get a Mega Spin. A Mega Spin is a free spin where one reel is filled with Wild symbols, while the other two reels are re-spun to be filled with a single weapon or suspect symbol. After the Mega Spin, the bonus resumes. If the counter is not loaded after the four dice rolls, the counter feature comes into play. The counter expands, rotates, and if the arrow lands in the loaded area, a Mega Spin is awarded.

Please note that you will not be able to retrigger or purchase the bonus feature.
