Crime and police work provides ideal content for films and television series and not surprisingly it also leads to some action packed online slots.  Bonus features can be built around arrests and mugshots and the more creative developers have pushed the boundaries with this particular theme.

Crime can of course be a serious subject but who wants to play a completely humourless slot? For that reason all crime-related slots contain an element of fun and the list below is our five favourite from this genre.

	The Sopranos features five reels and twenty paylines and transfers our favourite Italian-American gangsters from the small screen to the reels. Loads of bonus features mean you can ignore Playtech's slightly under par graphics Click here for the full review.
	Crime Scene from Net Entertainment is a little different from other crime slots in that it centres on the aftermath of a crime scene in a CSI kind of way. The highlight of this five reel and fifteen payline slot is a really hi-tech bonus game. Click here for the full review.
	Cops N' Bandits is a pretty simple slot from Playtech but it's great fun to play. Five reels and thirty paylines are complemented by two entertaining bonus games and high rollers will appreciate the opportunity to splurge up to $15,000 per spin. Click here for the full review.
	Mugshot Madness is one or Microgaming's additions to the crime slot genre and it all revolves around catching a range of animal criminals. This leads ultimately to the free spins bonus game where you can actually catch the blighters. Click here for the full review.
	Jack Hammer 2 Fishy Business is the second in the Jack Hammer series and a brilliant comic book conversion. Five reels and 99 paylines offer loads of small wins, the graphics are entertaining in a comic book style and two funky bonus games add to the fun. Click here for the full review.
