A Scandal in Bohemia is one of the best known of Arthur Conan-Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories, and it has been brought to life by software developer Tom Horn Gaming.

A slot based on the story of Sherlock, Watson, and the mysterious Irene Adler, this is an interesting release from Tom Horn, especially for those who are fans of the stories.

About the slot

With five reels and 25 paylines, Sherlock Holmes: A Scandal in Bohemia has an RTP of between 94% and 96% and is playable on all compatible desktop, mobile, and tablet devices.

This is undeniably a stunning looking slot game, that shows off Tom Horn’s ability to create titles that feel different to anything else that is available.

However, that doesn’t mean the developer is above filler symbols, so expect the 10, J, Q, K, and A symbols to dominate the reels, with themed imagery also thrown in for good measure, bags of coins, Sherlock’s diary, and the three main characters will all appear on the reels.

Gameplay

There is a veritable smorgasbord of features to be found in this slot. First, three Paparazzi symbols will trigger a pick and click game, picking up cash prizes until unveiling a Paparazzi symbol which ends the round.

Land three or more Newspaper symbols to trigger the Newspaper Bonus game, you choose from six options here, with the feature ending when a compromising pictures shows up in a paper.

The big feature to look out for here is the Free Spins feature, which doesn’t have a lot to offer in terms of extra perks, but can still be profitable.

Trigger 10, 15, or 20 spins with three, four, or five scatter symbols respectively, this feature cannot be re-triggered.

Sherlock Holmes: A Scandal in Bohemia is an amazing looking slot that brings the story to life beautifully, a must for any Sherlock fan.
