Clue was one of my favorite board games when I was a kid. I think it was the mystery aspect of the game that I liked—the Whodunit question that hangs over the game. Naturally I was quite happy when I learned that there was an online slots game that had been based on Clue.
For some odd reason when Wagerworks created this online slots game they named it Cluedo rather than just calling it Clue, like how they called the Monopoly online slots game Monopoly. Oh, well, I am not going to try to divine the workings of game developers.
On to Cluedo.
Cluedo is a five reel online slots game made, as already stated, by Wagerworks with twenty paylines. The theme of this online slots game was taken from the board game Clue, and as such features the infamous cast of Clue: Miss Scarlet, Professor Plum, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock, Ms White and Colonel Mustard.
Cluedo features my favorite presentation of the traditional 9, 10, J, Q, K and Ace symbols in any slots game. Recall that there were six weapons in the board game. And that the traditional symbols are six in number. Guess what graces each of the traditional symbols. That is right—a weapon.
Like any good online slots game this one does offer players two Wilds and a Scatter. The Wilds will substitute for all symbols except for the Scatter. The Wild symbol quite plainly says Wild, and the other Wild symbol says MegaJackpots. Both will give a 2x multiplier for any combination they complete.
The Scatter is the Mystery symbol. Landing three or more will trigger a flash of lightening and review five golden secret reels. The free spins feature begins with 15 free spins, but more can be triggered during a free spin session.
Cluedo does offer a progressive jackpot, but there are some things you need to know before playing about this one.
Only players who are betting the maximum have a shot at triggering it. The only way to trigger it is to land five MegaJackpots symbols on the center payline. It must be the center payline. Any other payline will only award the standard amount for landing five of that symbol.
One more downside to this online slots game is that it is one of the few out there in the online casino world that you cannot play for free. It is real money players only.
Overall, I like the theme of the Cluedo online slots game. But the real money players only part is a big turn off, and the center payline being the only line for triggering the MegaJackpots is another downer.
