A funny wordplay for sure, but what about the rest of the slot? There’s a bit more surprise there, both with the theme and with the features of the slot itself.
The basic game offers some sizeable payouts, but if you dig deep like Watson you’ll find the game also offers some interesting fixed jackpots. There are also two different payline setups, and plenty of special to keep you busy. So get ready to search for some clues and luck, and find your way to the big wins!
Theme and Symbols
The name is obviously a reference to Sherlock Holmes and Watson (usually not mentioned). But this time around the setting seems to be set a bit further East from London, at least if we go with stereotypes. That is to say, the characters and symbols have a certain Asian flavour to them. Music is quite superb and fitting, and not something you’d usually run into in slots. Overall, it all works magically together.
Betting Options and Functions
The normal game offers the standard setup, with thirty paylines. Betting levels are low enough for anyone to afford a few spin, and the wins big enough to make even a few spins worth a chance taking.
The variance is quite low, and this reflects in the possible prizes. You can take home 150 times your line bet from any single five symbol combo...which means that to score big wins, you need to get to the special features. Are those worth the chance?
Features
...yes they are. Just to start with, the jackpots offer two different bonus games. One is normal, offering four different pots. But if you are a bit more lucky, you’ll hit the jackpot mania, on which you have the chance to score the biggest, which can go up to 10 000 times your bet. Quite a lot for the low volatility!
Likewise, bonus spins are divided into two casts: normal bonus spins and super bonus spins. The difference is that in the latter, hordes of wilds take onto the reels. Both offer ten spins to start with, and a chance to trigger more.
The most interesting part is that the bonus spins are played with 243 ways to win. Suddenly, those wilds are almost always a guarantee for a shower of wins, big and small!
Our Take
Rubyplay here offers a slot that is quite lighthearted, yet detailed and thought out when it comes to mixing small and big wins. It’s rare to go this high with these bet levels and chances of scoring wins. You should take advantage of this, and let the reels roll!
