Moonlight Mystery Slot Review 2024

Moonlight Mystery

With Moonlight Mystery, fans of the crime solving genre get a chance to play on a slot with 5 reels and 15 paylines, a creation of Rival Gaming, which has a $20,000 jackpot, plus features among which you will find wilds, scatters, multipliers and free spins.

The game's theme seems to be Sherlock Holmes related, or based on some copycat character from the 19th century, which enjoys solving crimes. Instead of Sherlock Holmes, we have The Inspector here, but there is also The Doctor (Dr. Watson's copycat), The Constable, The Professor (Moriarty I presume), The Butler, The Maid, Lady Dunnit and Col. Dunnit. These characters are accompanied by a few object symbols as well, including the magnifier glass, the bottle of poison, the lantern and the body outline. You will notice the city night lights at the top, next to the Moonlight Mystery logo. The rest of the screen is well designed, and the symbols and the rest of the colors used fit well together.

Quite a few coins can be used in wagers placed in this slot, up to 75 of them, with their values being between $0.01 and $1. The maximum bet of $75 can result in prizes of up to $10,000, the cash equivalent for 10,000 coins (2000x the line bet).

You will need five symbols with the image of the magnifier glass if you're looking for that top jackpot. Besides the 2000x prize, there is always the chance of an even bigger prize, if one or more wild symbols are part of that top jackpot combination.

Speaking of the wild, the symbol uses the image of the bottle of poison, and it comes in two variants. The regular wild is available during regular gameplay, and it has a multiplier, which depends on how many wilds were present on that payline (multiply the prize with the number of wilds, the result being 1x to 4x the normal payout). The second variant is the one that is used for the duration of the free spins. At that time, the wild expands when it shows up, and covers the reel it is on.

The scatter symbols are of two types, and each one does something different. The lantern gives you 10 spins for free, if there are 3 or more scatters on the reels. The second scatter, the body outline, also needs 3+ symbols, and it gives you access to the bonus round.

It's a game that you shouldn't miss, at least if you enjoy reading crime solving novels, and if the works of Arthur Conan Doyle are familiar to you.
