The Phantom of the Opera, a romantic slot machine powered by NetEnt, transports you back to the good old times depicted in the Gaston Leroux's novel and the later Universal Studio movie recreation of the same name, that the artistic title is largely based on. The 5-reel 40-payline video slot provides plenty of action with its incredible bonus features like free spins, stacked Wilds, re-spins and multipliers. There are a number of opportunities to grab hefty payouts while also enjoying the romance pervaded by some horror elements.
The musical title features the jackpot worth 160,000 coins, whereas the betting starts at $0.20 and can go all the way up to the maximum of $200 per spin. In terms of visuals, you will equally be mesmerized by the state-of-art graphics where an extravagant theatre interior serves as the backdrop to the reels, while the opera-like soundtrack engages your attention even further and creates an air of mystery and romance.
The video slot is home to low-value symbols represented by different card suites – spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds. On the other hand, daggers, hand mirrors, rings and flowers fall into the higher paying category. Finally, the Phantom himself and his heroine named Christine stand for the most generous ones among all, where the first one acts as Wild, substituting all other icons, except for Scatter and Bonus symbols.
The amazing NetEnt release uses 5 reels and 40 paylines. It offers various wagering options with the coin value ranging between $0.01 and $1.00. The game is playable from as low as $0.20 per spin, while the highest stake you can place amounts to $200.
The Autoplay button is also available and useful if you want to choose the number of automatic spins. It is located in the central bottom section, right next to the Spin feature. Last but not least, the Max Bet feature is housed to the right of the Spin button.
In order to hit a win, you are required to align at least 3 symbols of a kind on adjacent reels. The Phantom of the Opera pays in both directions, from left to right and right to left as well.
Stacked Bonus symbols like the mask, stacked mask, Phantom, stacked Phantom and stacked Christine can land on the first and fifth reel. To be more precise, you can encounter the stacked Phantom only on the first reel, whereas the stacked Mask and stacked Christine pop up on the fifth reel.
The Scatter is represented by a chandelier which shows up on reels 1, 3 and 5. The Phantom himself acts as Wild replacing all other icons apart from Scatters and Bonus symbols. Pick and Click feature is triggered once the stacked Phantom expands as to cover the entire reel 1, while stacked Christine spreads to cover the entire reel 5. Here, you will be required to choose between 8 roses hiding different cash prizes. After that, you will proceed to the next stage with three mirrors on the display and concealing 1x, 2x and 3x multipliers behind.
Last but not least, the Free Spins Feature is activated with the help of chandelier Scatters landing on the reels 1, 3 and 5 at the same time. Keep in mind that the Phantom icons also become stacked during the free spins round, turning into sticky Wilds and expanding on the full reel.
The amazing game can be experienced on desktop, tablets, laptops and smartphones alike, which will come in handy for all those punters who enjoy trying their luck on the go. Moreover, you will like the fact that the graphic quality and smooth gameplay is guaranteed regardless of the device you choose to play it on.
