Holmes and the Stolen Stones Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

What’s the mystery?

One of the mysteries in Yggdrasil's Holmes and the Stolen Stones is why the jewels you are aiming to collect are called “shards”? However, on both mobile and tablet, the colours look good. The plot is that some famous jewels have been stolen and Sherlock is on the trail of the thief. The jewels were stolen from a room with two locked doors, so the game has two keyholes to explore.

Bonus keyholes

Let’s get down to business. This video slot has five reels, three rows and twenty paylines. There are two different keyholes in the slot. There’s a normal old rusty one just as you would expect. Then there’s a golden one. Get three of the rusty keyholes and you activate the bonus game, and get a prize of up to 10,000 credits. A door will open, and you’ll be led through to the thieves’ warehouse, full of packing crates stuffed with loot. Your mission is to open them one by one until you find the stolen stones.

The boxes may have a bag of coins inside, or jewels, or a smoke bomb. The bag of coins is added to your prize total. The jewel is added to your stock of jewels, or shards. These are displayed on the main play screen, above the play lines, in the ornamental grid. But if you get the smoke bomb, you head straight back to the main screen. You need to collect those stones to get the jackpot.

Try to get the free spins feature, and access the golden keyholes. Not only will you get a possible 10,000 credit prize, but also ten more spins. And it’s during these spins that the “shards” are added to the grids above the play area. Collect five stones of the same colour and the jackpot is yours!

So - elementary or not?

It has to be said, the music is very good. The gameplay is absorbing, the return to player rate is good, and the idea of collecting the coloured stones is a good one. Whilst some may find that the imaginative reworking of Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson is a step too far from the original fiction, on the whole, the game is fun and exciting, with the bonuses keeping up the suspense and thrills. Available on mobile devices and tablets, it's a free slots game you can take anywhere.
