More Unusual Suspects by Northern Lights Gaming is a captivating sequel that delves deeper into the world of whimsical criminals and enigmatic detectives. Released in March 2024, it invites players back to an evening cityscape and promises more twists and turns than its predecessor, Unusual Suspects. With a familiar yet refined theme, it builds on the original with new features, including a Vault Jackpot Game awarding up to 5,000x the bet.
About Mores Usual Suspects
Set in a huge city at night, teeming with life and mysteries, More Unusual Suspects is a visually engaging slot. The transparent reels allow you to immerse yourself in the urban environment, with towering skyscrapers and the hustle and bustle of the city life below. Symbols on the reels include low-value card suits wrapped in black and yellow tape, while the higher-paying symbols include a gun, handcuffs, a suitcase containing cash, and paying between 2x and 10x for a full payline.
This medium volatility slot boasts an RTP of 96.06%, offering a balanced mix of frequent wins and the potential for significant payouts. Bets range between 2p and £15 per spin. The max win potential is an impressive 15,000x the bet, a substantial increase from its predecessor. The wilds substitute other symbols but also pay on their own. More about this later. The Detective and scatter symbols trigger bonus rounds.
Wild Symbols
More Unusual Suspects boasts two Wild symbols in the base game and Free Spins. If a golden wild lands, it brings additional Wilds or another golden wild onto the reels. These symbols substitute for all symbols, barring the Scatter and Detective, enhancing winning combinations and adding more excitement to the game.
Wild Sticky Frame
Whenever a Wild symbol lands, it leaves behind a Sticky Frame with a multiplier starting at 1x. During the Detective Wild bonus, these frames can increase their multiplier value up to 5x, although the multipliers only apply within this feature.
Detective Wild Bonus
Landing the Detective symbol activates the Detective Wild bonus. All the Sticky Frames are filled with Wild symbols, enhancing the potential for bigger wins. When the bonus round ends the sticky frames dissolve, however, during the free spins they stay, and their multiplier values significantly boost the win.
Scatter Symbols and Free Spins
Scatter symbols trigger the Free Spins feature, providing an opportunity to unlock various bonus perks through a pre-spin selection process. The inclusion of the Bonus Perk Bar, Nudging Scatter Respin, and Bonus Perk Pick prior to entering Free Spins introduces a layer of interaction and anticipation, as selections can lead to additional spins, multipliers, and more enhancements.
Landing 3, 4, or 5 scatters awards 10, 15 or 20 free games respectively. Every time a Detective symbol lands, it moves one position on the free spins trail. Every 3rd position (Big Boss position) on the trail awards 5 extra spins. A multiplier starts at 2x on the first Big Boss position but increases to 3x, 5x and 10x as you reach the next levels on the trail. Once the free spins end, you could be offered a Getaway Spin for the potential of landing more prizes.
Vault Jackpot Bonus and Feature Buy
The Vault Jackpot Bonus is a new feature of the series. It offers the chance to trigger a jackpot mini-game with four jackpot prizes:
Mini – 20x
Minor – 75x
Major – 1,000x
Grand – 5,000x
You can buy into the free spins feature without playing through the base game for 100x the be. You’ll receive a spin with 3 scatters guaranteed.
If you fancy taking a risk during the base game, you can choose to gamble your win for a chance to trigger the free spins.
Conclusion
More Unusual Suspects enriches the narrative and gameplay established by its predecessor, introducing new features and opportunities for substantial wins. With its immersive theme, balanced mechanics, and the potential for huge jackpot wins, the sequel is a worthy addition to the Unusual Suspects series.
