Overview
By Sophie Lang, Games & Mobile Editor. Catalog RTP last refreshed 24 August 2026 — not a live lobby scrape. Confirm the cash info panel after login.
Holmes and the Stolen Stones is Yggdrasil’s detective hunt: 2,000× class, prefer ~96.40% after CAD login. It is not Valley of the Gods’ Egypt GigaBlox at 5,000× / ~96.20% and not Easter Island’s moai GigaBlox at 5,000× / ~96.20%.
Lobby search stacks Valley of the Gods, Easter Island, and Valley of the Gods 2 beside it. Open the cash title that reads Holmes and the Stolen Stones, then read the panel — 94.40% and 91.00% Yggdrasil builds still ship.
Confirm the live contribution table. Some tables still cap max bet. Confirm before you opt in.
