Inspector Wilds Demo Review
Iron Dog Studio brings us Inspector Wilds, a crime-solving slot with a magnifying glass in one hand and a wild symbol in the other. First impression? Feels like Sherlock Holmes meets Saturday morning cartoons, which honestly isn’t the worst vibe if you’re burned out on ancient Egypt and oversized fish.
Now, the theme — it’s your usual detective shtick, but with enough charm and polish to avoid feeling like a cheap genre reskin. Think moody alleys, trench coats, and a jazz lounge soundtrack that’s more classy than cliché. The visuals hold up — crisp, colorful, and not afraid to lean into the comic book vibe.
Under the hood, you’re looking at a 5×4 setup with 1,024 ways to win. Wilds expand in the base game and you’ve got mystery symbols popping up to keep things moving. Are they life-changing? Not quite. But they help break up the spin-spin-nothing rhythm a bit.
The main attraction is the Free Spins bonus. Land 3 or more scatters and you’re in — with sticky wilds that actually stick around for more than a single spin (thank you), and the potential to retrigger for some extended detective work. It’s not rewriting the slot playbook, but it’s enjoyable if you’re not expecting miracles.
RTP sits at a fair 96.18%, volatility leans high, and bets range from €0.10 to €50. The headline win cap is a juicy 25,000x — though let’s be real, that’s in Bigfoot territory for most of us. Still, the bonus does have enough bite to keep things interesting, especially if you hit a good setup with sticky wilds on reels 2 and 4.
The verdict? Inspector Wilds isn’t breaking new ground, but it’s a solid effort with slick production and just enough feature juice to hold attention. If you’ve got a soft spot for detective themes and appreciate a bit of wild action in your spins, it’s worth a few cases.
