REALTIME GAMING have released a ‘whodunit’- themed slot called IT’S A MYSTERY which has plenty to play for apart from just the reel wins, as it includes bonus rounds, wild’s, scatters,  multipliers and free spins.  The slot has 5 reels and 25 paylines and you can even win a PROGRESSIVE JACKPOT.

Symbols on the board resemble those images of a certain famous board game. You will see a lady and a gentleman, a butler, a detective, a stately home, and common numbers and letters including 9, 10, J, Q,  K and A. The QUESTION MARK is the WILD SYMBOL. This will substitute other symbols apart from the scatters to make line wins. The SCATTER is the game’s LOGO.

The sounds are quite clever and have been neatly developed to blend in with the settings well. The screen may look a little crowded and may be quite overwhelming for those who are new to slots but hang in there and you will easily figure out the layout and what you need to concentrate on.

You can achieve the huge 7500 coin JACKPOT if you receive five of the question mark symbols, but they must appear on a winning payline. There is a large range in stakes to choose from, which is always handy, especially if you are on a budget.  The great thing about this slot is that the FEATURE GUARANTEE can be played after a certain amount of spins. You can see how many spins are needed by looking at the box in the top right hand corner of the reels.

The meter in this box will be reset to a max of 150 spins if the PORTRAIT PUZZLE BONUS FEATURE is triggered during normal play on the reels. Similarly, if the portrait puzzle feature hasn’t been activated during reel spins when the counter reaches zero, this feature will automatically be activated. The feature will offer you puzzle shuffles, between 3 and 5.

With the puzzle game, a nine-pieced puzzle will get shuffled. If certain pieces land in the correct positions, they will be held in place and the rest will shuffle to give you more chance to try and complete the portrait. Free spins will be awarded for the more pieces of the puzzle that are in their correct position. Depending on the correct amount of pieces, you can win up to 50 free spins.

This will be followed by a similar round where you can win up to a x500 multiplier. If you are really lucky and five of the scatters appear across the reels, a massive x200 multiplier will boost your balance by multiplying your stake by that same multiplier.

The FREE SPINS can also be retriggered during the feature and you can be awarded up to 10 more free spins. This game is a ‘must-try’ and simply loaded with ways to win. There is absolutely no way of being bored while playing this and gamers cannot complain that this has little to offer.
