Crime Scene is a mystery-solving themed slot, developed by NetEnt. It has 5 reels and 15 paylines, with bets starting from just 15p a spin. The reels will spin with evidence while you try to land winning paylines. Amongst the standard symbols, you have Sticky Wilds and a Bonus Game to round up some coin wins.
They say you should never return to the scene of the crime, but with a game like this, we can excuse that statement. The Crime Scene slot looks like it is set up in a back alley, topped off with police tape across the top of the game. It’s pretty convincing and has quite a different theme to the usual slot games. If you’re looking for something different, you might enjoy getting your investigative head on for this slot.
Get your Gloves On
If you’ve seen any crime scene TV shows, you’ll know it’s key to don your gloves before exploring samples! Luckily for us, all we need to do before we get stuck in is to set the bet amount.
There are 15 paylines in the Crime Scene slot, which means there is a solid bet against them of one coin per payline. This means that the minimum bet is 15p. If you want to step things up, you can increase the coin value against each of the paylines. For example, if you increase the coin value from 1p to 10p, your total bet will jump from 15p to £1.50.
To ramp the proceedings up even further, you can up the level of the bet. This adds extra weight to the paylines, increasing your bet again. Winnings will be paid out in accordance with your bets.
Winning Evidence
The key pieces of evidence in this criminal mystery are worth the most. After all, the most intricate of evidence could be what helps with the investigation. You will need to land at least three matching pieces of evidence on a payline to win, but the best payouts come from landing five identical symbols.
A mysterious looking red footprint can pay out the highest, with a maximum payout of 750 times your bet for landing five-of-a-kind.
Some special goggles could win you up to 400 times your coin bet for landing five sets of them on a payline.
The ever so suspicious briefcase and the gun share an equal value. Land 5 identical symbols on one of the paylines to win up to 200 times your coin bet.
Lower-value symbols in the Crime Scene slot are the card values we usually see in slot games. From the Ace to the Jack, the maximum payouts range between 50 and 30 times the bet amount.
Suspect Special Features
There are two bonus features within the Crime Scene slot which could help you collect more evidence. Well, coins, actually. But coins to us are what evidence is to the investigators, so we’ll be happy with that.
Sticky Wilds
The Wild symbol looks like a police officer’s badge, with Wild written across it.
What’s so special about this, then? Well, landing one of these Sticky Wilds means that it can hang around for more than just one spin. Up to five spins, in fact.
The number of spins it will stay there for are displayed on the badge and wins which include the Sticky Wild will pay out treble the prize!
You might even land more than one at a time. They are separate entities so you can maximise from the benefits of having multiple Sticky Wilds on the reels at the same time!
Finger Print Bonus
A symbol featuring some finger prints on it, is the Crime Scene slot’s Bonus Symbol. Land three or more of these to trigger the bonus game.
In the bonus game, you have to click on the folders of evidence to see if they reveal coin wins or action symbols.
- An evidence card will award you a coin win, in proportion to your bet amount
- A red cross in a symbol will end the bonus game
- When the bonus has ended, four envelopes will appear, where you have an extra chance to boost your winnings – you can either win extra coins, double your bonus winnings or return to the bonus game
- A Green symbol with a V in it can cancel out the red cross symbol, making it green and allowing the bonus to continue
- A green cross will cancel out the red one.
The Bonus Game can be re-triggered just once before returning to the main game.
This may all sound a bit confusing, but once you get to the bonus round, everything will become clear.
An Exciting Investigation
From TV to slots, there is often an element of thrill and needing to find out more. This Crime Scene slot is a good balance of intrigue and prizes. You may be surprised to see that there are no free spins, which we usually see as standard in most slots.
Remember, however, that the bonus game can be profitable with some lucky clicks. The possibility of re-triggering the feature makes up for the lack of free spins.
The Return to Player (RTP) value of the slot is 96.7%.
