Scientific Games has released a new slot, Cluedo Mighty Ways, which is a Cluedo-themed game. It’s likely that it’ll be developed by the same company as the previous two slots with this theme, therefore we can expect it to be published by WMS before the end of Q2 2022. Cluedo, a popular murder mystery game, served as inspiration for the series. The Mighty Ways are also notable, and we’re excited to see what this engine can accomplish.

Cluedo Mighty Chances begins with 6×4 reels and 4,096 ways to win, but as you produce winning combos, the gaming area expands thanks to the Mighty Ways algorithm (it can go up to 262,144 ways to win). The possibility of winning up to 50,000x is touted, which is remarkable, but the 94.24 percent RTP is not. Cascading reels, a trail to follow, reel extensions, wilds, numerous modifiers, and a couple of bonus games are among the highlights.

Prizes and Betting

The lowest and maximum wagers on the Cluedo Mighty Ways slot are $0.20 and $20, respectively, with a wide range of numbers in between.

When it comes to the worth of its top jackpot, a truly modern slot machine has a lot to offer. Cluedo Mighty Ways does exceptionally well there, with payouts of up to 50,000x the bet ($1,000,000) stated.

The portion where the game falls short is in providing a reasonable return to the player. The RTP in this situation is 94.24 percent, while various values may be found as part of a range.

Features of the Cluedo MightyWays Slot

One of the most intriguing aspects of this slot machine is the Mighty Ways engine. It starts with 6×4 reels with 4096 ways to win, but when new combinations are produced, the cascading reels that follow will add one extra symbol to each winning reel. It continues to grow across multiple cascades, reaching a maximum of 8 symbols per reel. With all six reels maxed out, there may be 262,144 chances to win.

Wild symbols, which can be used to replace ordinary symbols in combinations, appear on the last five reels of the game.

A Trail with 9 steps may be found on the left side of the screen. For each cascade you complete, you move one position. The 5th step is the first one when something happens, and a Mystery Modifier is given. Each of the steps 7, 8, and 9 will start a distinct version of the bonus game (Bonus, Super Bonus, or Mega Bonus). The trail is reset at the end of the spin.

The following Trail 5 modifications can be triggered:

• You proceed to one of the three extra games after completing the Secret Passage.
• Mystery Symbols: selects up to eight symbols from the game area and replaces them with a single symbol type.
• Multiplier: Chooses a multiplier (10x, 5x, 3x, or 2x) to apply to all winnings from subsequent cascades.
• Random Wilds: On the last five reels, up to five random wilds are added.
• One of the middle four reels is transformed into a full wild reel.
• Symbol Removal: this one clears the gaming area of any low-value Royals. A cascade occurs as a result of the explosion, but only with premium symbols.

• The symbols are removed from the game area, and the reel is spun again with the same number of Mighty Ways.

The bonus games that are triggered at steps 7 and onwards award you 5 to 7 free spins, depending on the version you activated. Following that is a Card Picker function, in which you make selections and receive various extras for the free spins.

• 1 to 10 additional free spins
• All winning combos receive a 2x multiplier.
• 5x to 100x the stake is paid out right away.
• The Royals are removed in groups of 9 and 10.
• The capacity to expand is granted to regular wilds.
• With Time Watch symbols landing on reel 6, the number of free spins is reset.

Up to three Cluedo Cards, depicting Suspects, Weapons, or Locations, may appear on the reels. If they match the shown cards, you will be awarded a prize ranging from 5 to 2,000 times your stake. If none of them match, you’ll earn one more spin added to your total.

Design & Theme

It’s a murder mystery if it’s inspired by Cluedo. The design will be familiar to players of the board game because it is a branded slot machine. The setting is a mansion, which was the customary location for murders in early twentieth-century mysteries. The lowest paying symbols, from 9 to A, have Art Deco-style Royals. The Cluedo logo is next to a magnifying glass, and we receive icons with dusters, urns, whiskey glasses, jewellery boxes, and the Cluedo logo.

Conclusion

Overall, Cluedo Mighty Ways has several intriguing aspects, especially if you’re looking for unusual features and hefty payouts. Unfortunately, it has a low RTP, and unless you can find a better version, I’d only recommend it to die-hard lovers of the board game.
