How We Rate Slots

I have been reviewing slots for many years, and I’ve been an avid fan for even longer, so I have a good idea of what to look for and what kind of features players want.

If you have seen our page on how we rate slots, you’ll know that I’ve put a lot of work into this one. Every review I write undergoes a strict critical process that accounts for elements such as:

• Metrics like RTP and volatility
• Design and visuals
• Base game mechanics
• Features and bonus rounds
• Maximum payouts

Every review is informative, factual, safety-conscious, and user-friendly, making it easier for you to pinpoint the best slots based on your budget and preferences.

Pro Tips

Mystery Mice is very volatile, so I recommend being cautious. This is not the sort of game where you increase your stake and take a handful of spins. In such situations, you could spin your way to an empty balance.

It also means that the “Buy Free Spins” option (100x the stake; not available in the UK) is a risky move. It worked out for me, as discussed below, but you could easily walk away with a payout of less than 10x, leaving a 90x hole in your balance.

I recommend reducing your stake, playing considerately, and trying to get a long session out of this one.

Mystery Mice Slot Bonus Features and Free Spins

The Cluster Pays/Tumbling Reels combo takes centre stage here. The symbols, which include playing card icons and paraphernalia right out of a rodent detective story, cluster together on a 6×6 game grid. Payouts are awarded for clusters of at least five; the biggest come from 15 or more, and it’s possible to get as many as 36.

Once a payout lands, the Tumble feature kicks in, removing winning clusters to create space for new symbols.

This base game mechanic is complemented by several modifiers and a big bonus round.

Wilds

Known as Power Wilds, the Wild symbols display a level from one to 10. If it helps to form a winning combination, and the number is great than one, the Wild will remain sticky. Every clearance reduces the number by one, and the Wild disappears after this.

Scatter Symbol

You need three or more Scatters (a magnifying glass over the word “Scatter”) anywhere on the grid to launch the feature. Scatters can also appear during the free spins, activating more spins.

These symbols also award an instant payout of 1x for every Scatter.

Free Spins

Three Scatters give you 8 free spins. It might not sound like a lot, but with Cluster Pays, Tumbling Reels, and Power Wild active throughout, it can create some big payouts.

Outside of the UK, you can purchase the Mystery Mice feature for 100x the stake. This should also be available in demo mode, which I tried. The first time I unlocked the feature, I won around 155x, but be careful, as it felt like a highly volatile feature.

In fact, 50x of that 155x came from a single spin, and by the end of my eight free spins, I had a fraction under 100x, with the rest coming from additional Scatters that retriggered the feature for an extra four spins.

Mystery Mice Slot Design and Visuals

Mystery Mice imagines a world where Sherlock Holmes is a mouse, scuttling around the lamplit streets of London in search of criminals. It’s a fun vibe, and there are some great graphics and a dynamic backdrop to bring it to life. The game’s protagonist also stands alongside the reels throughout.

The reels are huge and take up most of the screen, but the developers have still spent some time creating an immersive backdrop to bring this title to life.

How to Play the Mystery Mice Slot

One of the great things about Cluster Pays and Tumbling Reels is that there’s a lot happening on the reels, but you don’t need to contend with fiddly mechanics, changing paylines, and other elements that can delay the experience.

Get started by changing your stake using the plus and minus icons in the bottom right. The default is usually set at £2, and this could be too high for some. It certainly would be for me. So, change it before hitting the big spin button.

If you’re playing in the UK, there will be no option to buy the feature, and you can’t race through the spins, either, as there is a mandatory delay.

If you need more info on playing the Mystery Mice slot, click the “i” button to access the paytable. I also found a bunch of game options under the settings (gear) icon, including those related to the sound.

Mystery Mice Slot Mobile Compatibility

The huge size of the Mystery Mice grid made me a little dubious about playing this one on mobile, but it actually fits perfectly. You lose some of the background, but everything else remains the same, and it’s much easier to play these kinds of games on handheld devices.

Conclusion

My first spin on the Mystery Mice slot gave me a return slightly above my stake. My second returned a win of nearly 20x. It went downhill for at least 20 spins after that, but it wasn’t long before I unlocked the feature, and overall, I had a lot of fun with this slot.

Of course, my playthrough is irrelevant, as your experience will be very different, but while my success on this slot got my attention, it was the stylish design and excellent features that held it.
