Baker Street Slot
The game is afoot with Baker Street, a mysterious slot machine from iSoftBet that takes up the mantle of Sherlock and Watson to create a new world in which these fictional protagonists can roam.
There’s never been a more suitable pairing them the story of Britain’s most intelligent investigator and the intrigue of the slot machine. Both of them invoke excitement, entertaining us in various different ways. If there was ever a moment that iSoftBet really got their theme right, it’s with this title right here.
But it isn’t just the way it looks that has this game miles in front of all the others, it’s the content as well. Baker Street has quite an exceptional bonus round that is always in play. That’s right, it’s always active, it just takes a certain requirement for the rest of the feature to reveal itself to you.
The Story Begins
Out on the streets of Victorian London is where this game is set, though it’s a more illustrative version of the capital than what we’re used to. Policemen and polite young ladies mill about the streets, all of them oblivious to any danger that might be lurking in the shadows. It’s not until it’s too late, and the deed has been done, that they’ll know to call for help.
That’s when Sherlock, Watson and yourself will stroll onto the scene, looking for clues in a bid to solve the biggest mystery of all: how to get the jackpot prize.
Hunting for Clues
Even though you’re always looking for combos and such on the 9 winlines of this slot, you’re actually searching for a collection of items as well. These items are needed in order to access the feature game, with a total of 10 being the max number which unlocks the round. They could be any old items, even smelly worn shoes, but whatever you find will be recorded whenever it happens onto the grid.
Let’s for a moment pretend that you found all of the clues needed, you’ll be asked to make a selection, of which your decision will have far reaching consequences; you have to choose one of the cases from the files. It can be any of them, but once you have you must investigate and match three symbols that present a strong connection to the investigation chosen. The amount of credits you can expect to receive are affected by how well you match the clues.
As you can see, when we said this part of the game was exceptional, we really wasn’t lying or over exaggerating. It truly is a masterpiece of game design.
Like a Bloodhound
Seeing as you’re sniffing out injustice and righting wrongs, it’s about time you properly entered the fray and made a small bet. Baker Street allows its players to make a punt that starts off as a meager 0.01, but that can increase up to 0.05, neither of which are large stakes. However, they can soon become larger than you realise as these figures are just the value of the coins you can play, with a maximum of 10 available to you. This many coins on that many winlines means you end up with a juicer bet.
Gamers can by all means take away some of the paylines if they wish to, or they can play with less coins, they need only tap the appropriate minus buttons and the game will change accordingly. However, for the most intense and fulfilling experience, we advise to play the game as it was intended to be played.
In addition to moving coins around and their worth, you also have a series of autospins to activate should the mood take you, allowing the reins to be handed over to someone else while you take a breather. You can start off with a low amount of x5 or increase upward until you hit the maximum amount; you’ll always be able to stop them early.
Another Case Closed
Baker Street is the best game we’ve played from the brand so far, which is a bold statement for us to make, but it’s true nonetheless. The way the game has been crafted to tell a rich story, mainly all through the bonus round, makes this activity one of the most interactive slot machines currently on the market.
Of course, there’s the downside that should you never activate the feature game, you’ll never experience what Baker Street has to offer.
