Our take

Dark Sherlock Holmes reskin with 6-reel Megaways, 96% RTP, and cascading wins up to 37,500×.

Moriarty Megaways flips the Sherlock Holmes narrative by placing Professor Moriarty centre stage. iSoftBet builds the game on a 6-reel, 2–7 row Megaways engine, where symbols cascade to create new winning combos. The creepy London setting pairs well with a tension-inducing violin soundtrack, establishing an atmosphere that matches the villainous theme.

Feature set includes cascading reels, mystery symbols that reveal matches, free spins that can trigger across three separate reels, and random multipliers during base play. The game's Megaways mechanic means payline counts shift with each reel, typically yielding thousands of potential winning combinations. With a 96% RTP and high volatility, you're signing up for swingy sessions with rare but substantial payouts.

Max win sits at 37,500×—a rare result, but achievable. The graphics and sound design lean heavily into the detective-noir aesthetic, which will appeal to players who value mood alongside mechanics. Hit frequency data is sparse in reviews, but the cascading nature means even non-winning spins can lead to chain reactions.

Pros

  • Megaways mechanic creates dynamic payline counts and frequent cascade chains
  • Immersive dark detective theme with atmospheric violin soundtrack
  • Free spins trigger across three separate reel sets simultaneously
  • High max win potential of 37,500× appeals to volatility seekers

Cons

  • High volatility means prolonged dry spells between significant wins
  • 96% RTP is below-average for premium Megaways titles
  • Sparse hit frequency data makes strategy difficult to plan
  • Feature triggers feel infrequent; bonus buy option not mentioned
