Slot Summary

Players who prefer medium volatility but still want progressive-jackpot stakes get a distinctive combination here: Sherlock and Moriarty WowPot pairs a 92.1% RTP with the four-tier WowPot network. Just For The Win created it exclusively for Microgaming as the fifth game connected to that jackpot. Its Victorian London setting gives the mystery symbols, sticky wilds, respins and wheel a coherent case-solving identity.

How It Plays

Each paid spin uses a 5x3 reel set and 20 paylines, while mystery symbols can enter after a spin and alter the immediate result.

The respin sequence rewards continued symbol arrivals rather than one isolated reveal. Existing mystery symbols and wilds stay fixed, and qualifying additions prolong the attempt before its final respin.

Theme & Atmosphere

Victorian London provides the setting for a contest between Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty, giving the Detective, History and Mystery themes a clear narrative center.

The European period treatment suits an investigation story rather than a modern police procedural, with the opposing characters framing every feature as another turn in their rivalry.

Features & Win Potential

Mystery Symbols initiate the principal reel interaction, while Sticky Wilds preserve useful positions through Respins and give each continuation a visible connection to the previous result.

The Progressive Jackpot and Bonus Wheel form a separate prize route. Pot Collection provides access to the wheel, which resolves one of the network's jackpot tiers.

Bonus & Free Spins

Free Spins retain landed Sticky Wilds, and Increasing Multipliers strengthen the round as it continues. Additional Scatter Symbols can increase the number of remaining spins.

The bonus does not replace the jackpot route. Its sticky positions and multipliers create a contained feature sequence, while the Bonus Wheel handles the Progressive Jackpot outcome separately.

How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (Medium). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (92.10%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (1,000×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
