It’s A Mystery Whodunit Online Slot

Added: September 16, 2015

Everyone loves a ‘whodunit’ plot. The classic murder mystery is set in a manor with a number of guests providing motives, locations and implements galore. The leading software provider to online casinos, Realtime Gaming, has captured all this in a video slot titled It's a Mystery. The slot game is live at Realtime Gaming online casinos like Club World, Aladdin’s Gold and Manhattan Slots.

The symbols on the reels are the elements of the murder mystery. The mansion is where the murder takes place. Then there is the detective, the lord and the lady of the mansion. One can tell that the murderer is the butler because he is holding a candlestick and a blood stained cloth. The low paying symbols are the usual playing card icons. The question mark is the wild symbol. In winning combinations it reveals the body of the victim. The It's a Mystery logo awards scatter payouts and triggers the Portrait Puzzle feature.

The Portrait Puzzle feature is a combination of a bonus game on the second screen and free spins. The second screen first displays a nine piece portrait. The pieces are shuffled and located randomly. Any piece that lands in its correct position is locked and the remaining pieces shuffled again. The process is repeated as many times as there were scatter symbols in the trigger. At the end the number of pieces of the portrait in the correct positions determines the number of free spins from 5 to 50. The shuffles are repeated to determine the multiplier from 1x to 6x. If the entire portrait happens to fall in place you will win bonus credits.

It’s a Mystery online slot game includes two popular Realtime Gaming trademark features. The first is the Win-Win feature. This feature offers compensation if you happen to be unlucky in the free spins feature and end up with poor results. If you do not win anything in the free games then you will get a compensatory payout of 100 times the triggering bet. Other compensatory payouts work similarly and are specified in the game rules. The other feature is the Feature Guarantee. If the Portrait Puzzle feature is not triggered in the normal manner for 150 continuous spins then it will automatically be activated. The Feature Guarantee includes the Instant Trigger Chance for players willing to take a risk. You can attempt to trigger the Portrait Puzzle feature using it any time you want, but if you fail then the Feature Guarantee counter will be reset to 0.
