Cluedo Cash Mystery Review

WMS’ first slot version of the popular board game, Cluedo: Spinning Detectives, was never a huge success. Apparently, this hasn’t stopped them from taking another stab at it some years later. Cluedo Cash Mystery is certainly a visual improvement from the first game, and the math model is also improved. The RTP of 96.51 % is higher, and the medium volatility offers more casual oriented gameplay.

It’s always fun with lots of variety in a game, and 180 bonus round combinations sounds like a lot. However, it’s really the Character modifiers that make the biggest difference here, and there are “only” 6 of these. You will always want the highest number of spins and the largest possible multiplier, so this is really a given. Still, casual players will find some decent entertainment here, at least until you’ve seen what all 6 of the characters have to offer.

Cluedo Cash Mystery Features

You will find a standard wild symbol in this game, and it can land on all reels both in the base game and during the bonus round.

It’s hard to miss since it spells “wild” with big golden types, and it will step in for all regular symbols, as wilds usually do.

The big attraction of this game however, is the 180 different bonus round combinations you can trigger. You will find 17 different scatter symbols here, and these come in 3 distinct categories. You need to land 3 scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5 to trigger the bonus round, and each reel will only land scatters from a specific category.

You can land 5 different Weapons scatters on reel 1, and these will determine the bonus round multiplier from 2x to 6x. The weapons scatters are: Lead Pipe (2x), Wrench (3x), Candlestick (4x), Knife (5x) and Revolver (6x).

On reel 3, you can land 6 different Room scatters, and these determine how many free spins you get as follows:

• Lounge - awards 5 free spins.
• Kitchen- awards 8 free spins.
• Study - awards 10 free spins.
• Hall - awards 12 free spins.
• Conservatory - awards 15 free spins.
• Library - awards 25 free spins.

Finally, you have 6 different Character scatters that will land on reel 5. The characters determine the free spins modifier you will benefit from in the bonus round.

These are as follows:

• Mrs. Peacock (Infinite retriggers) - you get 1 extra free spin per scatter you land.
• Colonel Mustard (Expanding wilds) - makes all wilds that land fill the entire reel.
• Miss Scarlett (Persistent wilds) - all wilds that land are sticky for the duration of the bonus round.
• Professor Plum (Multiplier wilds) - all wilds come with multiplier values of 2x, 3x, 4x or 5x.
• Dr. Orchid (Both ways pays) - all winning combos will also pay from right to left.
• Reverend Green (Growing symbols) - a random pay symbol is chosen up front to be the expanding symbol. Land enough instances of this symbol anywhere, and the symbols will expand to give you a larger win. This feature is similar to what you find in most Book of slots.

The 200 Spins Cluedo Cash Mystery Experience

We had some trouble recording the base game play this time, so you will only get the bonus round in our highlights video below. We get 8 free spins with a 2x multiplier, and the Colonel Mustard Expanding Wilds modifier. You can see how it all played out by hitting the play button, and the feature lasts for about 2 minutes.

Review Summary

Cluedo Cash Mystery is a decent enough follow-up title to WMS’s previous Cluedo: Spinning Detectives, but the 2 games are not all that similar. The predecessor title had many different bonus features, while this game is focused solely on the all-important bonus round.

The 6 different Character modifiers offer somewhat varied gameplay, and we like how they’ve “snuck in” the Book slot mechanic as one of the modifiers.

The biggest wins are bound to come from the wild multiplier modifier however, and the 3,750x potential is decent for a medium volatile game like this. Overall, we like this follow-up title better than the first version, but the base game becomes tedious pretty soon. Luckly, you will get the bonus round relatively often here, or around every 126 spins on average to be precise.

Pros

• Bonus round with 180 combinations of spins, modifiers and multipliers
• Medium volatility for casual gameplay
• Win up to 3,750x your stake

Cons

• No features makes the base game a bit tedious

Cluedo - was the first ever adaptation of the board game to the slot format, and IGT had the honor back in 2014. The visuals are somewhat dated in this version, but you will benefit from wilds, free spins, bonus games and payouts up to 12,500x your stake.
