Red Rake Gaming expands its slots portfolio with the launch of Sherlock and the Stolen Gems, an exciting new adventure starring the most famous detective of all time. This slot invites players to solve the mystery of the missing gems, combining an immersive atmosphere with innovative features that elevate the gameplay experience.

With a 6×6 reel format, Cluster Pays, and the thrilling “Cascading Reels” feature, each spin can trigger a chain of winning combinations that keeps the pace and excitement alive at every moment.

Among its key features are the “Sticky Clusters,” activated when clusters of seven or more identical symbols connect horizontally or vertically. These clusters lock in place on the screen and trigger a Respin on the remaining symbols. Furthermore, the locked clusters can expand during subsequent Respins, creating a highly attractive cumulative effect. The “Expanding Sherlock” feature kicks in after a win, expanding the reels to an 8×8 format and awarding an additional Respin, significantly increasing the winning potential.

Sherlock’s eternal rival, Moriarty, also makes an appearance with a unique feature that transforms the symbols around him into one single powerful 3×3 cluster with great winning potential.

The Free Spins Round is triggered by landing three or more BONUS symbols and takes place on the expanded 8×8 reel grid. During this phase, the Big Ben meter comes into play, allowing players to collect BONUS symbols to earn extra spins and powerful multipliers, adding an extra layer of excitement and reward.

With a captivating storyline, high-quality graphics, and features designed to maximize player engagement, this slot is a must-have addition for operators seeking differentiated, high-performing content.

With this new release, Red Rake Gaming continues to strengthen its portfolio with dynamic and innovative titles tailored for all markets. Furthermore, this slot—like the rest of the company’s offering—is integrated into Red Rake’s well-established tournament tool, enhancing player engagement and entertainment even further.
