Diamonds, jackpots, and smoking pipes

All make an appearance in this Holmes and the Stolen Stones slot machine. With five progressive jackpots, this Yggdrasil game aims to provide you with some legendary wins.

Yes there are five slot jackpots up for grabs here, which, very much like the Playtech Marvel jackpot games, can reward you with varying amounts of cash.

The good news is that that’s not all that this Sherlock Holmes slot machine brings to the table, with it’s five reels and 10 paylines.

All set on the Victorian streets of London, these reels are flanked on both sides by doors, each unlocking and opening when you trigger either the pick me bonus game, or the free spins.

All the symbols are beautifully detailed, with the flat cap wearing, pipe smoking detective himself as the highest paying symbol.

He’s followed closely by his fellow companion Watson, a leather-bound journal, and magnifying glass. Instead of high card symbols, you’ll find the suit symbols in the form of the elaborate, spade, heart, diamond, and club, to complete the set.

Five progressive jackpots for added wins

At heart, this Holmes slot online is very much a low variance machine unlike some of the other Yggdrasil slots that tend to be of medium to higher variance.

So those looking for big wins in the base game, or even in free spins like you’ll find in the Cash Stampede slot for example, will be a little disappointed.

However, the fact that it has not one, not two, but five jackpots, ranging from tens to tens of thousands in cash is probably what will make you stay and play.

Unlike the big hitting jackpots slots, like Hall of Gods or Mega Fortune, this Holmes and the Stolen Stones jackpot will reward you modestly if you manage to seek out those stolen jewels.

The smaller jackpots are more frequently triggered, of course, with the major jackpot seeding at 10,000 and generally bursting at above 30,000.

And how do you win the one of the jackpots?

Simple, the jackpots are tied to the free spin games.  You will have to enter them first, which can be done in two ways.

Either find 3 or more of the free spin keyhole symbols, or fill the diamond collection at the top of the reels with a full set of same coloured gems as you spin in the base game.

Once you are in there, you get 10 free spins to find some more diamonds to fill the five jackpot meters at the top. You will need to find five of the same colour to win a jackpot, and you’d better hope lady luck is on your side.

A fun, if different, way to bring thrills to our jackpot hunting.

Win 10 free spins with 3x multiplier

We’ve mentioned the 2 different ways you can enter the free spin games. 3 Scatter keys is the most common trigger to the 10 free spins.

Find four scatters, and you’ll also get 50x your bet, and find five to get 500x your bet win. So there’s some good wins to be had here, even without the jackpots.

What you will also get is each win multiplied by 3, giving you some bigger wins, and of course the chance to hit any of those five jackpot prizes.

We’ve had varying successes here, on average getting anywhere between 15 – 30x our bet. Then, randomly, you’ll hit the higher paying symbols and walk away with a decent 90x, or more, your bet.

Pick crates for instant cash wins

The second of the bonus games in this Holmes and the Stolen Stones video slot is a pretty hit and miss pick me bonus.

We say hit and miss, because many times we’ve walked away with nothing.

On the flip side of that, pick right, and you get a nice top up to your balance with a few good 50 – 70x our bet wins.

You trigger the bonus games by finding 3 or more of the keyhole ‘Bonus’ symbols across the reels. And much like the free spins, find 4 to give you an instant 50x your bet and 5 to get 500x your bet win.

You’re then taken to a warehouse full of crates, where you get to pick each crate to either reveal instant cash prizes, shards of diamonds to add to your base game meters, or the smoke bomb which ends your bonus round.

A fun, if inconsistent, game that turns up every 80 – 100 spins or so.

Should I play Holmes and the Stolen Stones slot online?

Also available on Android, iOS and Windows phones and tablets, this Yggdrasil jackpot slot can provide some fun and entertaining spins.

Jackpot hunters will enjoy the fact that you get a range of jackpot prizes, whilst a return to player rate of 96.8% provides plenty of low variance entertainment.

It makes a nice change from Yggdrasil’s more dangerous creations, like Vikings Go Wild and Cyrus the Virus slot.

With detailed graphics, sounds, and animations, this slot game stand out from the crowd, and you’ll find yourself spinning for longer, especially as you see your balance stay steady and you spin in hope to trigger just one of those jackpot prizes.
