With a fun cartoony theme, this Keystone Kops mobile slot is so much fun, it’s almost criminal.
Anyone born this close to the millennium is unlikely to know that ‘Keystones Kops’ refers to slapsticks movies from around 1914s to 1920s black and white film. We certainly didn’t.
And yet there’s something about the bumbling policemen stumbling through life as they chase criminals that require little to no explanation.
This IGT phone slot certainly looks the part, as you start in a car travelling through 3 different reels and ending on your main base game.
What we really enjoyed in this Keystone Kops slot is the fact that there’s so much happening on the reels, but you really don’t have to do much about it.
That’s because, randomly, a criminal will show up on screen and shuffle symbols around. Or a safe will land on the cop on the left of the reels and you’ll get stacks of upgraded symbols.
The point is, there are 3 great random features that can genuinely give you wins of over 40x to 80x your bet and it keeps the action light and constant.
You can trigger two free spin bonus games that will get you in a car and drive you to the corresponding reels which will now have 100 paylines like in the Wolf Rising game.
These means huge reels, and you’ll need stacks of symbols to get any wins. You don’t get those here in the Keystone Kops online slot, but you do get two types of wilds: massive wild reels and spreading wilds.
Then there’s the click-me safe cracking bonus where you find instant cash prizes and a chance to win one of four jackpots – two of which are progressive and climb above 20,000 in cash.
Look, there are big wins in this medium variance IGT mobile game, so of course, there are big wins. Even Golden Goddess slot has big wins, and it’s as low as IGT goes.
And the good news is that there’s a random police car that shows up at any time to give you up to 10x multipliers on a win, and that’s where the big wins are.
But mostly you’ll survive from feature to feature, catching the occasional decent win, and watching these bumbling fools put a smile on your face.

Wilds: The rainbow coloured wild will replace all the other symbols to create a win, except for the scatter bonus symbols.
Scuffle Shuffle: randomly upgrades and shuffles symbols to create more and bigger wins in the base game.
Shuffle Up Feature: Again, randomly, can extend 3-of-a-kind wins to 4 and 5-of-a-kind wins, in the base game only.
Symbol Upgrade feature: Upgrade wins to the next highest-paying symbol in the paytable, in the base game,
Mystery Multiplier: A random multiplier from 2x to 10x your bet can be applied to any win at any time.
The Pilfering Pooch Free Spins Bonus: 2 scatters and the Pouch symbol will trigger 8 free spins with 100 paylines and spreading Wild symbols. One wild will start a chain reaction where it will spread, giving you anything from 4 to 10 extra wilds on screen.
In the Pie Patrol Free Spins Bonus: 2 scatters and the Pie symbol triggers 8 free spins. Not only are there 100 paylines but when a Random Wild symbol lands on the centre reel, that reel will now turn wild and additional Wilds are thrown onto the reels in a massive pie fest.
Progressive Jackpot slot Picks Bonus: Get 2 scatters and the progressive symbol and you'll get taken to the bank. Here you'll open vaults to get cash prizes. If you are really lucky you can trigger the Progressive Picks Bonus for a chance to win a progressive jackpot that starts at 20,000 and 4,000, and keeps on climbing.
You don't have to understand the theme of this Keystone Kops slot on mobile to understand that these policemen are on your side.
Whether it's by shuffling symbols during the base game or giving you random multipliers, any spin can bring surprises and win, and that's what makes this a 4-star slot.
The addition of 3 bonus games add to that, but they don't hit often to be the real gems in the crown.
If you prefer your slot machines with fewer bonus games and more 'spins' then try Laser Fruit by Red Tiger Gaming for something a little different.
