Sherlock: A Scandal in Bohemia Online Slot UK

If Sherlock Holmes were real, the criminals of the world would have a much tougher time. The great detective, an invented by British author Arthur Conan Doyle, has captured the hearts and minds of readers young and old for over a century. It was 1891 when he made his first appearance in a work of fiction. Since then, he's been the star of multiple television shows and movies, memorably brought to life in recent years by Robert Downey Junior on the big screen, and Benedict Cumberbatch on the small one. Not content with that, he's now got his very own online slots game. Tom Horn Gaming is responsible for this slot, and we're pleased to say it's worthy of the super sleuth's name.

All of the classic elements we associated with Sherlock are on display in this slot. His home on Baker Street in London, England provides a smoky and atmospheric backdrop, with horse-drawn carriages clattering down cobbled streets at night-time. The design of the slot takes a little inspiration from steampunk - the reels turn on a clockwork engine, which audibly strains and groans each time you give them a spin. It's a five-by-three set, and within them, we're looking for 25 possible paylines in order to take home some wins.

Sherlock: A Scandal in Bohemia Developer - Tom Horn Gaming

Tom Horn is a jack of all trades when it comes to the casino business. They've put together several great online slots, but they're one of the few providers who still spend time putting together physical casino products to serve players who prefer to do their gaming in the flesh. They have a London office, but their real base is in Malta, from which they provide gaming services to most of mainland Europe.

Not even Sherlock Holmes himself would be able to work out why Tom Horn is called Tom Horn. Nobody of that name has ever been involved with the company. The only Tom Horn we can find on Google is a fairly notorious American criminal, and we doubt he was used as a source of inspiration! They don't have a vast range of online slots on the market, but if you're curious about what else they can offer, you'll find Savannah King UK Slot, Wild Weather and Frozen Queen Online Slot in our Rose Slots library.

Play Sherlock: A Scandal in Bohemia Mobile Slot

We suspect that Sherlock would be a fearsome poker player, and we wouldn’t want to play him at cards. We’re going to have to, though, because it’s playing cards which represent the low values on the reels. It’s a full set in the context of online slots; they go from 9 through to A. After they’re out of the way, everything you’ll see on the reels belongs firmly to Sherlock’s world. We have his invaluable notebook, a pen to write in it with, and a mirror. If you know a little about the Sherlock stories, you’ll immediately recognize the wild symbol as Irene Adler, Sherlock’s love interest. Irene’s on hand to help complete winning combinations for you, but she can’t replace the bonus symbol. That symbol is a little murky, but appears to be a padlock.

Having a wild and a bonus symbol is normally enough for online slots, but there are a couple more symbols you'll see appear on the reels. One of them is, of course, Sherlock Holmes himself. The other is his trusty sidekick Watson. Both of them have roles to play when it comes to the bonus features - so let's get on the case and find out what else this slot has to offer!

Sherlock: A Scandal in Bohemia Slot Features

Free Spins

As we have three bonus symbols, we have three different bonus features to aim for. Free Spins are first up, and you can trigger them by landing a trio of the padlock symbols for ten spins. If you can find four padlocks, you'll start with fifteen spins, and you get twenty for all five. As free spin features go, this is fairly vanilla. There's nothing else on offer but the spins - the value of your wins is the same as the base game, and the reels behave in exactly the same way, too. Don't worry though - the free spins feature is by far and away the least interesting bonus feature that this online slots game has to offer.

Newspaper Bonus

Landing three of Sherlock’s portrait symbols gets you a prize-pick feature called the Newspaper Bonus. You'll get more out of this if you've ever read 'A Scandal in Belgravia' which is the book from which this slot gets its inspiration. Your mission is to find a compromising photo of a member of the British royal family before Irene Adler goes to press with it. To do so, choose from the blank spaces on the newspaper you'll be presented with to find out what's behind the blank. Finding a cash prize adds the value of that prize to your winnings. Finding the photo means that it made it into the press, and therefore your feature comes to an end.

Paparazzi Bonus

Three of the Watson portrait symbols takes you to the Paparazzi Bonus, and this is all about the press, too. They want to snap a photo of you walking through Hyde Park, but you’re not in the mood to pose for one. Pick a tree to hide behind, and you’ll find that it has a cash prize to offer you. The round ends when you find the photographer. The functionality of the Sherlock and Watson-related bonuses is identical, but it’s nice to have two different takes on it for the sake of variation.

Even if you've never read or watched a Sherlock Holmes work of fiction in your life, you should find plenty in this slot to entertain you and keep you spinning. If you have, then this slot is a rare delight. It's an unusual idea for a slot, but Tom Horn has executed it almost flawlessly. It's quirky, it's fun, and it's full of great prizes. Our only wish is that the bonus features were a little easier to trigger.
