A good murder mystery novel is difficult to put down. The same can be said of good online slots with the murder mystery theme. Two such video slots from different software providers can be played at Bovada Casino.

It's a Mystery is from the portfolio of Realtime Gaming. The mansion is the scene of the murder. The characters include a Sherlock Holmes like detective, the lord and lady of the mansion who can be easily mistaken for Colonel Mustard and Miss Scarlet of Cluedo fame and the butler who as always seems to be the perpetrator of the crime. The question mark is the wild symbol. The game logo is the scatter symbol that also triggers the Portrait Puzzle Feature. In this feature, a portrait in nine pieces is shuffled. Any piece that is in its correct position is fixed and the remaining pieces are shuffled again. The process is repeated a number of times. The pieces of the portrait in the correct positions determine the number of free spins up to 50 and the multiplier up to 6x. If the complete portrait is correctly formed you win bonus credits as well. It’s A Mystery includes the popular Realtime Gaming Win-Win Feature. It you are unlucky in the free spins feature, then you will be awarded compensatory payouts. The slot game also includes Feature Guarantee, which assures that the Portrait Puzzle Feature will trigger after 150 continuous spins if not triggerered earlier in the normal manner.

Moonlight Mystery is from the software provider Rival gaming. The setting is similar but definitely 19th century London. You can see the famous gas lit street lights in the background. The characters are dressed in the period costume from that time and include professor, constable, doctor, inspector, butler, maid, Lady and Colonel Dunnit. The largest line payout is awarded by the magnifying glass symbol. The poison bottle is the wild symbol with a multiplier property. In the free spins it becomes an expanding wild. The lantern scatter symbol awards 10 free spins. The corpse symbol triggers the Who Dunnit bonus game on the second screen. A video clip of a dark rainy night on which a murder has been committed at Dunnit Manor introduces the game. You are called to help the inspector and the doctor in solving the mystery. You select the crime scene, the weapon, the culprit and the motive from the options provided and win bonus credits for each choice.
