Before you take a peek at the Crime Scene, decide how much you want to bet. The game uses all possible combinations from left-to-right, so paylines are not an issue. Just push the buttons beside “Coin Value” to set your denomination, and then use the “Level” buttons to set how many sets of 15 coins you would like to bet. Push the Circular Arrow Button to begin playing, or use “Max Bet” to spin with a bet level of 10. Use “Autoplay” if you want to spin multiple times in a row.
Crime Scene pays out for any matching set of three or more symbols from the leftmost reel to the right. The Wild Badge symbol is incredibly valuable, as it will stick to the reel it appears on for up to 5 spins. Any winning combination with at least one Wild Badge will pay out 3x.
To advance your mission, activate the Bonus Round by getting 3 or more Fingerprint symbols. Once triggered, you’ll select from folders that mostly contain instant cash prizes. Some also contain evidence pertaining to the mystery. If you collect all the necessary evidence, you will be able to win even more cash. Avoid the Red X symbols as these will end the Bonus Round.

I love watching crime investigations TV series, like CSI for example, but getting involved in such investigations is another matter altogether. This 15-paylines Netent game offers such intrigues and mysteries, so it should be fun to watch, but I also found out that playing the game was another matter. Why? Simply because the game doesn't have any free spins feature - it only offers a 'Pick And Win' Bonus game, which has never been to my liking all this while. I would prefer free spins than merely picking out items to win some prizes. I find it very boring!
Anyway, the Sticky Wild symbol, the Badge, does make up for some interest, but only because I do love Sticky Wilds. Unfortunately, the Wild symbols do not pay anything for themselves, which I don't like at all, but I do quite like that the Wild symbol can stick up to 5 spins randomly, and that wins with it are paid tripled. On top of that, even the Bonus symbols are non-paying, yet again a disappointing aspect in this game, and serving only to trigger a Bonus game with 3 Bonus symbols anywhere on the reels. A lot of winning opportunities are indeed lost by these omissions.
I would have expected a good win value for the highest paying symbol, the Footprint, to compensate for the non-paying Wild and Bonus symbols, but no, getting 5 Footprint symbols would only pay a very low 750x the line bet. The other symbols have even lesser and lower values, making the paytable a very low one indeed. Not to my liking at all, so you can forget about getting nice big wins with this game! I would say that this Crime Scene game is a low variance game, especially created for players who like to get frequent small wins. I'm not one of them.
Okay, I do admit that some other low-paying games could indeed play quite well, despite giving low payouts most of the time, but my plays on Crime Scene have not been of any good so far. My best win to date is only a miserable 52x my bet amount, and that is absolutely disappointing to me! Picking those items to win cash prizes isn't my cup of coffee either, so there isn't anything else in the game to make me like it more. Nothing like watching CSI shows for me!
