More Unusual Suspects Slot Review

More Unusual Suspects Slot Overview

When I first fired up More Unusual Suspects from Northern Lights Gaming, it felt like stepping into a slick cops and robbers cartoon set high above a New York style city. The base game plays out on a rooftop at night, then shifts to a grimy alley for free spins and a laser filled vault for jackpots. Smooth jazz, helicopter noise and voice lines keep the whole thing feeling lively.

Under all that polish, More Unusual Suspects runs on a 5x4 layout with 20 fixed paylines. Stakes span from 0.20 to 15 per spin, so it sits squarely in low to mid stakes territory. The maths model is medium volatility, paired with a default 96.06 percent RTP. On top of that you get sticky wild frames, Bonus Perk Bar progress, Big Boss free spins, a Vault Jackpot and optional bonus buys.

Symbols and Payouts in More Unusual Suspects

The paytable in More Unusual Suspects sticks to the same line up as the first game. Low wins come from 10, J, Q, K and A, paying up to 1x your stake for five of a kind. High symbols are themed handcuffs, a pistol, dynamite and a suitcase packed with cash, worth between 2x and 10x for a full line. All lines pay left to right from the first reel.

Wild symbols appear in regular green form and as golden wilds. Both substitute for every standard symbol and pay 2x, 5x and 20x stake for three, four or five on a line, making them the best paying symbols by far. They do not replace Detective or Scatter symbols. Those act as feature triggers only, so you are always hoping to land them in the right spots rather than for line wins.

Wild Mechanics and Core Features in More Unusual Suspects

In More Unusual Suspects wilds do far more than simple substitution. Every time a wild lands, it leaves behind a sticky frame marked with a 1x multiplier. If new wilds hit inside that frame, the multiplier climbs, up to a cap of 5x. Golden wilds go further and spawn extra wilds or another golden wild on random positions, so whole clusters of frames can appear off the back of one spin.

The Detective symbol is the key that turns those frames into big hits. When he lands, the Detective Wild Bonus triggers and every active frame fills with a wild symbol for that spin. Any multipliers on frames apply to wins along those lines. In the base game the frames vanish once the bonus resolves, while during free spins they stay on the grid until the feature ends.

Scatters only appear in the main game, but they have two jobs. Hitting two scatters anywhere adds a token to the Bonus Perk Bar above the reels, edging you closer to extra perks in the free spins round. If those two scatters land on the top three rows, the Nudging Scatter Respin steps in, holding the scatter reels and nudging them down while the other reels spin again.

Free Spins and Bonus Perks in More Unusual Suspects

Free spins in More Unusual Suspects arrive when 3, 4 or 5 scatters land, giving 10, 15 or 20 spins. Before they start you play the Bonus Perk Pick, choosing suspects who can add +2 spins, extra wilds, extra frames, extra Detectives or a perk that starts you on the first Big Boss step. During the round each Detective collected moves you along a trail that grants +5 spins and x2, x3, x5 then x10 multipliers. A random Getaway spin with a guaranteed Detective can follow.

Vault Jackpots and Extra Bets in More Unusual Suspects

Gold Bar overlays can land on any symbol in More Unusual Suspects. These are collected in the vault to the side of the reels, and at random the Vault Jackpot Bonus can trigger. You then pick from closed vaults until three matching jackpots appear. The Mini, Minor, Major and Grand prizes pay 20x, 75x, 1,000x or 5,000x your bet, so even a single lucky pick round can swing a whole session.

If you are impatient for action, the game lets you shortcut into free spins. The Feature Buy costs 100x stake and gives a spin that guarantees at least three scatters. There is also a Gamble wheel, where you pay between 10x and 90x stake for a single shot at triggering the bonus, adjusting the chance from 10 to 90 percent. Bonus Perk Bar progress and stored Gold Bars are tracked per bet size.

RTP, Volatility and Win Potential in More Unusual Suspects

On the maths side, More Unusual Suspects sits on that familiar 96.06 percent RTP setting, though lower settings at 94, 92 and 87 percent exist, so checking the info panel is wise. Volatility is rated medium, backed up by a 35.34 percent hit rate, so small wins turn up often enough while the bigger stuff tends to come from Detective Wild Bonuses and free spins. The official max win sits at 15,000x stake, or 225,000 at top bet.

More Unusual Suspects Slot Verdict

As someone who already put a lot of spins through Unusual Suspects, I like how More Unusual Suspects keeps the sticky frame and Detective combo but piles more around it. The city backdrop, jazzy soundtrack and voice work all tie the theme together, while the Bonus Perk Bar and Nudging Scatter Respin keep the base game ticking over instead of feeling like dead space between features.

For me the real hook is free spins with a decent perk, a few early frames and then a Detective dropping in to flood the screen with wilds. That is where I saw my larger hits, though the Gamble wheel can chew through a balance if you get stubborn. The Vault Jackpots feel like extra icing rather than the main course, but having those fixed prizes hanging there does add some tension.
