Theme – a classic cops and robbers game

Unusual Suspects is a police themed slot, though it’s hard to tell which side your on. The name is obviously a play on the 1995 film, The Usual Suspects, yet the graphics lack the Neo-noir touch. Instead, the game is bright and full of sirens. The soundtrack has a jazzy feel, reminding us that we are dealing with the NYPD.

On the reels, lower paying symbols are represented by police-tape 10 to Ace royals.Other symbols include handcuffs, guns, and dynamite sticks. The briefcase full of cash is the highest paying symbol, rewarding you with up to 10 x your stake.

The slot also comes with 2 types of wilds, both of which substitute for all other symbols apart from the scatter. Regular wilds pay up to 10x the bet and appear on all reels. We’ll talk more about how the other special symbols work in the ‘Bonus Features’ part of this review.

Unusual Suspects Bonus Features

Unusual Suspects comes with 4 bonus features. This includes special wild symbols, a Free Spins feature, and a Free Spins boost meter. Outside of the UK, there are also Bonus Buy and gamble options.

Golden Wilds Feature

As mentioned earlier, there are 2 types of wilds in Unusual Suspects. Both kinds can land on any reel, and the Golden Wilds spawn more wilds. They can create either another Golden Wild or extra regular wilds.

When a wild lands, they leave a frame around the position they landed in which carries a 1x multiplier. If another wild then lands in a framed position, the multiplier then increases up to 5x.

Detective Wilds Feature

If you land a Detective symbol on the reels, all framed positions are filled with wilds. Any multipliers the frames are carrying are also added to the win total, and a new payout is calculated.

In the base game, all sticky frames are removed from the reels after the Detective bonus ends. In the free spins feature, however, sticky frames remain in place until the round ends.

Free Spins Feature

If you land 3 or more scatter symbols on the reels, you will trigger the free spins feature. Landing 3, 4 or 5 scatters in the base game, gives you 10, 15 or 20 free spins respectively.

During free spins, a Bonus Meter will appear above the reels. This fills with each Detective symbol you land. You need 3 Detective symbols to trigger a Big Boss bonus. Here’s what’s up for grabs:

• Collect 3 Detectives to unlock Boss 1 – 5 extra free spins with a 2x multiplier
• Collect 6 Detectives to unlock Boss 2 – 5 extra free spins with a 3x multiplier
• Collect 9 Detectives to unlock Boss 3 – 5 extra free spins with a 5x multiplier
• Collect 12 Detectives to unlock Boss 3 – 5 extra free spins with a 10x multiplier

This means there’s a total of 40 free spins on offer each time you trigger the round.

Free Spins Booster Feature

If don’t quite manage to collect the needed scatters to trigger the bonus feature, don’t worry too much. Landing 2 scatters adds 1 token to the booster meter above the reels. You need 50 tokens to fill the meter and, when this happens, the Free Spins feature plays out as normal.

Whilst it might sound hard to collect 50 tokens, this is made more likely by the nudging respins feature. If you land your 2 scatters on the top 3 reels, any reel with a scatter is held and nudged down 1 row while the other reels respin

Bonus Buy and Gamble Features

Outside of the UK, the Unusual Suspects slot also comes with options to buy, or gamble for, entry to the Free Spins feature.

Buying your way into the round costs 38.6 x your current bet, which isn’t bad compared to a lot of new slots. The gamble feature is a little more complicated.

With the gamble feature, you can set your chance of success, ranging from 10% to 90%. Naturally, the higher your chance of success, the higher the price of the feature. For example, gambling with a 10% of success costs 3.86 x your current bet, whilst gambling with a 90% of success costs 34.74 x your bet.

Unusual Suspects Slot Review Summary —wild frames are key to success

Firstly, the Unusual Suspects slot is a good looking game. Whilst there may be some controversy about being on the side of the cops at this moment in time, it’s well designed with a great soundtrack.

When it comes to gameplay, there’s a couple of things that are quite exciting, even if they’re not as ‘unusual’ as the title suggests. The framed positions can lead to big wins in the base game, as they stick around until filled with wilds and add multipliers. What’s more, as the Detective symbol automatically fills them with wilds, you’re going to get a decent sized win sooner or later.

The Free Spins feature also hinges on the framed positions, as they never leave the grid. This means you can build multipliers and combine them with the other multipliers won on the bonus trail. This gives you your best chance at reaching those 12,500 x bet max wins.

All in all, whilst the game’s feature aren’t anything too out of the ordinary on their own, they work together well. In our eyes, the Unusual Suspects is a decent slot that’s worth a spin.
