Victorian Villain Slot Review 2024

Victorian Villain

Genesis Gaming offers Victorian Villain, a slot with 5 reels and 243 ways to win. The main features are scatters, wilds and free games and to accompany this a maximum jackpot of $2,500 is obtainable.

A game of cop and villain (not sure it's robber in this case) is what this slot has to offer. That's what the backstory seems to suggest at least and you will notice as main characters both the villain with the skull cane and the cop with the stick. The action takes place a few hundred years ago, during the Victorian era. The image behind the reels gives us just two walls with some street lighting placed on the two top corners. The reels are entirely black and they give us playing cards (Nine to Ace) plus various other icons. The action seems to take place on Hanbury Street as the street sign suggests. The policeman, the villain, the Search for Clues logo, the Bonus blue skull, the logo of the game, the lady detective and the Victorian lady are all images that make up the rest of the symbol line-up.

Between 1 and 5 coins can be used per line here, though you don't actually get to bet on all 243 lines individually. Instead you cover the bet with 25 coins and those activate all ways to win, while 1 coin of those 25 is the line wager. Get the line wager up to 5 coins and the total bet goes up to 125. Individual coins are valued between $0.01 and $0.50, meaning you can get the line bet to $2.50 and the total to $62.50. The payouts in this case will give you up to $2,500.

The game has two scatter symbols and one wild. The wild is limited to appearances on the three reels from 2 to 4 and it can't substitute for the two scatters but it can do so for all others.

If you manage to get three identical scatter symbols of either type you will get a payout of 50x the total bet in return.

Each scatter has additional roles, with the Skull bonus being the trigger for a round with free spins. With three scatters of this type you get a choice of either 5 spins with 10x multipliers, 10 spins with 5x multipliers or 15 spins with 3x multipliers.

The other scatter can appear on reels 3 to 5 and when you have all three you get a bonus game where you select various items and you win prizes or the round ends (with Collect).

If you are a fan of Sherlock Holmes or the Victorian era, then this will be a slot of interest to you. While it only offers typical game features, it is still a solid production.
