It’s a Mystery! Slots

Are you puzzled about the slot called It's a Mystery? Is the theme a mystery in this one or is there something else going on? We are about to see if we can find some answers as we chase the clues and find out what's at the end of the trail. Let's gather everyone together and reveal the answers as we explain what's happening in the It's a Mystery slot game.

Can we solve the mystery of the game studio?

This is an easy one, as it comes from Realtime Gaming. You might also recognize the letters RTG to point to the same name.

Try the demo game to see what you can find out about it first

This makes it much easier to see whether you like the game, so you don't need to waste money on it if you'd rather play something else.

Does this theme pose a mystery to solve?

The title suggests a mystery and that is really the theme here. We are inside a mansion, populated by several people who all look as if they've done something they shouldn't have… does this remind you of Clue, by any chance?

What did we make of the design of the slot game?

It looks cool, but you may get a sense of familiarity about it because of its age. Older titles from RTG all used the same rough format, so the controls are all in the same place and those elements look almost identical. That said, there are some promising elements about it as you'll see when you play.

How to start playing this slot game

The usual five-reel approach is taken once again here, but you might be pleasantly surprised by the appearance of two progressive jackpot prizes. A question mark lands in action as the wild symbol, appearing over a green background. The only thing it won't substitute for is the magnifying glass, which you might guess is the scatter. You'll also see the title of the game on this symbol, along with some footprints.

Paylines in action in It's a Mystery

You've no doubt played games offering 25 lines before, and you've got another one to consider here.

Available bets you can choose from

The game offers coins ranging from a penny each to five dollars, so we think most players are going to find something suitable in there.

Is there a decent paytable to read through?

Yes, and we suggest you do just that before you play. The Feature Guarantee appears in this game - a feature cropping up in a few older slots - and you'll be able to read about this if you access the paytable. It means you will always reach the feature by the time you play a set quantity of spins if you haven't already got there.

Does It's a Mystery include a bonus round?

How about a Portrait Puzzle? Three scatter symbols usually trigger some free games, and that's true of this slot game too. However, you'll play the Portrait Puzzle part of the game first. You can't see what the picture is to start with because none of the pieces are in the right places. The idea is to complete the picture if you can, but if you cannot do that, get as close as possible.

Free spins are then awarded

You can guess that the better you are at completing the picture - or getting close to doing so - the more spins you'll receive to play through afterwards. Completing the portrait triggers the highest quantity of spins, and that means winning 50 of them, so you can see there is plenty at stake here.

RTG doesn't give the RTP

That sounds confusing, but really it just means that the paytable doesn't include the return to player percentage. See if the casino offering the game can give you the amount instead.

Our rating for It's a Mystery revealed…

There's no mystery here, as we are giving it a solid 8.5 out of 10. Its age lets it down a little now, but the portrait is the highlight and can lead to some satisfying free games.

Progressive jackpots are tricky to find

We believe they have random triggers, so it's best just to hope you can get one of those. As for the regular prizes, the wild is the best one to find, as it gives you the chance to pick up 7,500x your bet.

Demo play for It's a Mystery

This is ideal as a starting point if you're unsure whether you are going to like the game. We think the theme and the interesting free spin round combine to bring you a cool game though.

Play for real if you like a good mystery

We wonder what the portrait shows, and whether it has any bearing on whodunnit?
