Sherlock Bones

Sherlock Bones starts on a 5-reel, 3-row grid with 243 ways to win, but the rows expand to a maximum of 7 as the Rolling Respins feature adds height. Electric Elephant's detective-dog slot puts a Sherlock Wild on the reels that digs up hidden Bone symbols, triggering the mechanic that grows the grid and increases ways to win up to 16,807. The max win is 2,324x the bet, RTP is 96.21%, medium volatility, playable with crypto at Wild.io on desktop and mobile.

What is Sherlock Bones?

Sherlock Bones is a 5x3 video slot from Electric Elephant with a 96.21% RTP, medium volatility, and a top win of 2,324x your bet. Ways to win start at 243 and expand up to 16,807 as the game adds rows during the Rolling Respins feature.

The Rolling Respins mechanic drives the entire game. The Sherlock Wild symbol acts as a detective: when it lands and uncovers a Bone scatter nearby, it sets off a respin chain. Each winning respin adds a new row to the grid, growing the configuration from 3 rows up to 7. The expanded grid means the ways-to-win count multiplies with each addition, and the Sherlock Wild moves left one reel per respin until it exits the grid.

Sherlock Bones Slot Theme & Graphics

Sherlock Bones is a direct reimagining of the Sherlock Holmes detective world with dogs cast in all the human roles. The Sherlock character is a beagle in a deerstalker hat and cape, and Watson is his canine companion. The reel backdrop evokes a Victorian London study: dark wood panelling, scattered case notes, and a fireplace glow. The cat premium symbol is the game's villain, paying the highest of the regular symbols.

Electric Elephant keeps the art style accessible and slightly humorous rather than gritty noir. The pipe, magnifying glass, and pawprint symbols fill the middle tiers with genre-appropriate props. Animations for the Rolling Respins show the Sherlock Wild character visibly sniffing and digging across the reels, which communicates the mechanic without needing a tutorial. Mobile layout handles the expanding rows cleanly, with the grid scaling vertically as new rows appear.

Sherlock Bones Slot Symbols & Paytables

Sherlock Bones carries nine symbols: seven regular pay symbols, a Wild, and a Bone Scatter. The regular symbols split between three card-rank lows and four themed premiums, all tied to the detective-dog narrative.

Low Value Symbols

The three card-rank low symbols are K, Q, and A. They land frequently and generate the minor wins that keep the hit pattern moving between Rolling Respin triggers. On their own they pay modestly, but on an expanded 7-row grid with 16,807 ways to win they can appear across many simultaneous winning paths.

High Value Symbols

The four premium symbols are: the pipe, the magnifying glass, the pawprint, and Watson the dog. Above these sits the cat, the highest-paying regular symbol at 10x the stake for five of a kind. The cat functions as the opponent in the game's narrative and as the premium target during any Sherlock Wild expansion sequence. Landing the cat symbol repeatedly across an expanded grid is the main route to the 2,324x max win.

Special Symbols

The Sherlock Wild substitutes for all regular pay symbols and is the trigger for the Rolling Respins. When it lands and uncovers the Bone Scatter, a respin fires. During each respin, the Sherlock Wild moves one reel to the left. Winning respins add a new row to the grid, growing the configuration from 3 up to 7 rows. The feature ends when either the Wild exits the leftmost reel or a respin produces no win. The Bone symbol itself is the scatter that initiates the chain when Sherlock digs it up.

Sherlock Bones Bonus Feature & Special Features

Rolling Respins

Rolling Respins is the only bonus feature in Sherlock Bones and the game's entire value driver. The sequence begins when the Sherlock Wild lands on a reel and exposes the Bone Scatter. A respin is awarded. If the respin results in a win, a new row is added to the grid. The Sherlock Wild then moves one reel to the left and another respin fires. The grid can grow from 3 rows to a maximum of 7, pushing ways to win from the opening 243 all the way to 16,807. Each new row increases the number of winning combinations available, so the feature compounds: the later respins in a long chain play on a fundamentally larger grid than the earlier ones. The chain ends when a respin produces no win or the Sherlock Wild steps off the left edge of the reels.
