Where movies, board games and slot machines meet
Would you ever have thought that a board game could have inspired a movie and that in turn the movie inspired an online slot machine?
Yes, that’s exactly the case with the board game Cluedo that was used as inspiration for the 1985 movie of Clue. Now, over 20 years since the release of that movie comes a new Rival slot called: Moonlight Mystery. Its theme is clearly reminiscent of that comedy film. Moonlight Mystery is a 5-reel slot with 15 betting lines. The start of the game features an animated introduction into the plot of the game. After a long and fun dinner party at Dunn’s manor, everybody goes to bed but around 3 in the morning a loud noise is heard. Someone has been murdered, but who did it and why?
The player gets to explore this theme as he or she spins the reels. The game has many engaging features such as sets of Free Spins, an expanding wild icon and an interactive bonus round. The expanding wild icon has a double function. During regular spins it will not expand but can be substituted for any other icon and complete a win. The win will be multiplied by the number of wild icons in that win. So two wilds will double the win while three wilds will triple, and so on. However, when the Free Spins are triggered the wild becomes an expanding wild and will multiply higher any win. For example, one wild will double the win while two will triple it and so on.
The most astounding feature of Moonlight Mystery is the bonus round or mini-game. During this mini-game the player becomes part and parcel of the plot of the story. Joining a detective and chief of police the player will try to solve the mystery of who’s done the murder. The intricacy of the crime is difficult so the player’s intuition must be acute. Several conundrums will arise such as where did the murder originally take place and with what weapon? Who did it and why?
Such is the enigma behind Moonlight Mystery a game that will charm players of all ages and backgrounds. Enjoy this new video slot at any Rival-powered casino.
