Unusual Suspects slot review

You have the right to remain silent, but we can’t because we are excited to tell you about this new Northern Lights slot. There are bonus features including free spins, and multi-function wilds, all gearing up towards a bounty of a 12,500x max win.

The long (slot) arm of the law

Unusual Suspects follows a brave police detective as he tries to take down a criminal gang. The action shifts between the mean streets of a downtown US city, where the gang are orchestrating a bank robbery, and the detective’s office back at the precinct.

The unusual slot suspects

Northern Lights has actually stuck to the usual suspects here for a police-based slot game, including winning symbols in the form of handcuffs, guns, briefcases overflowing with stolen bills, and police sirens. The graphics are very well done and the soundtrack - a jaunty cop show-esque instrumental - adds to the game and brings a fresh feel to the slot.

Unusual Suspects bonus features

If you were looking to snag yourself a swag bag full of bonus features, you have come to the right place - Unusual Suspects is full of them. Wilds are a big deal and make up most of the bonus options; in addition, there are several free spin rounds with win multiplier opportunities aplenty.

Big boss free spins

The big boss free spins round is activated by landing the siren scatter symbol. Three scatters award you ten free spins, which increases to 15 and 20 free spins for four and five scatters respectively:

When the free spins bonus is triggered, you will move away from the bright lights of the highway base game to the detective’s office. Whenever detective symbols land during the free spins round, they will be collected on a bonus meter and award more free spins and various win multipliers:

  • 3 detective symbols unlock big boss 1: five free spins and a 2x win multiplier
  • 6 detectives unlock big boss 2: five free spins and a 3x multiplier
  • 9 detectives unlock big boss 3: five free spins and a 5x multiplier
  • 12 detectives unlock big boss 4: five free spins and a 10x multiplier

Detective wilds

When the detective wild appears, it will turn any stuck frames into wild symbols.

Wild sticky frames 

Wilds appear on every reel and can replace all other symbols. They also come with their own payout of 10x the bet. Whenever a wild lands, it leaves a frame around the square that locks in place. You might also see golden wilds, which can make other wilds or golden wilds. If a wild appears in a square that already has a frame around it, it increases the multiplier to a max of 5x.

Unusual Suspects review summary

We have to confess that we thought Unusual Suspects was a fun video slot and an action-packed addition to the world of police-themed games. There are tonnes of features, including some unusual wilds, demonstrating that Northern Lights certainly doesn’t lack ambition for its games.

Top win of 12, 500x and free spins galore

The free spins might be the most popular bonus feature in the game; however, these didn’t come along too often. Unusual Suspects pays a total win up to 12 500x, which is at the higher end of average, but it does require patience to wait for the wild frames to build up.

FAQs

What is the free spins booster feature in the Unusual Suspects slot?

Every time you land at least two siren scatter symbols, they will add one stamp to the meter above the game grid. The meter needs 50 stamps to be full. Once filled, the meter will unlock the big boss 1 and award you five free spins and a 2x win multiplier.

What is the nudging scatter respin feature in the Unusual Suspects slot?

Landing two scatter symbols on the top three rows of the game grid triggers the nudging scatter respin. When this happens, any reel containing a scatter symbol will freeze, the scatter symbol will be moved down one row, and the reels will respin. Respins will continue until the scatter reaches the bottom of the board or you have landed five scatter sirens on your grid.
