The Moonlight Mystery slot machine is a brand new online slot offering from Rival Gaming. Although this developer is not as prolific in its rollout of online slots as WagerWorks, nor as aggressive as Microgaming; this does not make their games any less compelling. As this newly launched game is themed on Sherlock Holmes, and we all enjoy a bit of mystery, it is very persuasive to play. Its elementary dear Watson, we all like to find out whodunit!

Set deep in the heart of foggy London town in the early part of the 20th century, where Mr. Holmes would ply his trade; Moonlight Mystery, like Mr. Sherlock Holmes, makes use of unique detective skills to help you keep your eyes on the prize. The reel icons reveal a cast of interesting characters, and it is up to you to find out which one of these committed the dastardly deed. In other words you replace Sherlock Holmes' skill with some skill of your own, and do the 'detective-ing' to find out which character or characters committed the cunning murder.

If you fancy your-self along the lines of a detective as well as a super slots player, this Rival-powered online slot game is certainly worth a try. It offers a plethora of play appeal which could keep you content for a very long while. There is also a free play option available in 'Demo Mode' to let you test the game thoroughly first and get the advantage, before you spend any real money.

This is a five-reel, fifteen pay-line slot, which is suitable for both low and high rollers; newbies and expert players. The standard coin range is 0.01, 0.05, 0.10, 0.25, 0.50, 1.00; with up to 5 coins per pay-line per spin. Although players may adjust their own coin ranges, this also depends very much on the casino where you are playing. For example, VIP membership levels sometimes dictate how the slot player may wager.

The base game on Moonlight Mystery carries a 2000 coin top prize, however, this can be substantially increased by playing more coins per line spin. This action multiplies the jackpot amount by the amount of the wager, and bonus games offer more winning potential. The player return over a complete game cycle is advertised at a generous 96% payout percentage.

There are obviously Special Symbols and there are also Bonus Games. The scatter symbol is the Lantern and the Wild icon is very wild indeed, this is the 'Poison' symbol. Free Spins are awarded for spinning at least 3 Lantern symbols, and they may appear anywhere on the screen. This will award you 10 free spins which pay a 4 x multiplier. We are not going to tell you any more about this game, as the telling would spoil the whole aura of mystery, and what is a mystery after all if it loses all of its mystique appeal? We will even keep it a mystery where you can play, have fun finding out for yourself!
