Baker Street

"Baker Street" is one of the best slots from iSoftBet that have ever passed through my hands; on it you can see a very elaborate design and an atmosphere of mystery and suspense rather suggestive, and although I am not a fan of iSoftBet, do not understand the reason why some players complain about this game, since being objective, I can say that I find this a very interesting and entertaining game on one hand, and on the other, I think its payouts are hundred percent fair and special features they can become quite generous.

The theme of this slot is based on the fictional story of Sherlock Holmes and his partner Watson, who incidentally lived in the direction 221B Baker Street, and just like in the novel, all the clues that appear are collected and analyzed in order to solve the crimes, and this is precisely what is the bonus round about, where the player must collect 10 pieces of evidence to enable this feature, then you should choose one of three cases to investigate and choose three evidences you deem most relevant to unravel the mystery. The prize awarded in this round is multiplied by the bet value, but according to what I saw, it appears that the software averages bet values on each of the turns in which the clues were collected in order to grant the credits, it seems not to be a very good idea to increase the bet just before getting the last clue to pretend a greater reward from this bonus round.

The other special feature is the round of 10 free spins that are triggered by the occurrence of 3 or more scatters with the image of a magnifying glass, and all profits obtained in this round are multiplied x 2. Baker Street only has 9 paylines, but generally speaking, I cannot say these free games are somewhat disappointing, but rather the opposite, especially in those rounds where wild symbol seems to behave more active than usual.

Although I do not normally play in casinos using iSoftBet software, I hope this company continues with this mentality of high quality and attention to details that both contribute to players’ satisfaction so much. This one is a very good slot in my opinion.

Baker Street is a crime solving 9 paylines video slot. The key to it's bonus game requires finding 10 pieces of evidence to gain entry into the mystery that awaits the player. These items are scattered about on the reels like glasses, blood stained cloth, a jewel, a shoe, a half eaten apple, a fingerprint and so on. The only way the evidence items can be collected towards the bonus is if it lands anywhere on the centre of each reel. In other words, an easy way to put this is on Line 1. There is a log book to keep track of the collected items. Some of the problems arising from this feature is that most of the items needed to trigger the case solving bonus lands mostly on the top part and bottom part of the reels, making these evidence items fade at the conclusion of a spin......so it can take a long time to collect the 10 evidence items.

I only play for $0.54 bets a spin because the video slot only has 9 paylines, the winnings are always fairly rewarding...that I win 3x my bets give and take should I use the double feature and for the most part the bonus is not very interesting. I would be outraged by the amount of credits I could earn from picking one of the 3 case files, then the 3 evidence items that I think will help solve the case. Each pick awards credits but I think I was unlucky at the time. The lowest I've won inside the case solving bonus gave me $3.24 from three picked evidence in the robbery case fill (I picked the middle file). The highest I got which is from a murder case is $9 on another trigger, the rusted key was the most profitable for $7.50.

I however should be lenient about the collection of evidence because there are more than 10 items I see on the reels and once collected it's not a hassle collecting "that last item" just to hit the bonus. I thought at first the last item would be just "one single item" but I was totally wrong about that fact....fortunately to say.

Fairly rewarding pays, a bonus that needs to heat up for a while/long time depending on how lucky I get, 10 free spins at 2x which I don't see often for 3 scattered magnifying glasses and by the overall view of Baker Street is a 6.8 out of 10! It is more for entertainment than for rewards.
