The Phantom of the Opera

Take your seats, the opera is about to begin! The Phantom of the Opera is here, inside your mind and inside your desktop so it seems. This blockbuster video slot has been created based on the world famous 1986 musical/play about a soprano opera singer who becomes deeply intrigued by a mysterious figure who lives in the labyrinth beneath the Opera Populaire where the musical is based.

This is a very well known and loved play, so it’s not totally unexpected that there is now a stunning slot game based on this blockbuster. When the curtain drops you are greeted with an array of the main characters and symbols featured in The Phantom of the Opera slot game, such as the masked phantom of course, Christine the young singer, a beautiful red rose, opera glasses, music notes and so on.

It’s always very exciting when our top casino games providers create a masterpiece from another masterpiece, It’s easy to get lost in the world of opera in this video slot, and if the grand entrance and trailer doesn’t excite you from the very start then I don’t know what will.

The Phantom of the Opera slot game consists of 5 reels and 40 fixed paylines. The 40 paylines is another element in this game which makes it extra exciting, because it means that you will be able to win in 40 different ways. Before singing at the top of your lungs it will probably be a good idea to adjust your bet, the minimum amount that you can bet on this slot is £0.30, and the maximum amount that you can bet is £15.

Now for a Microgaming game this is a strange amount considering on some of their other games you can bet as much as £100-£200, and I actually expected The Phantom of the Opera slot to have had a bigger max bet. We will not hold this against them though because it is a very beautifully thought out and well made slot game.

Once you have made your betting adjustments, you can go ahead and start spinning!

The Phantom of the Opera Wild symbol is actually a symbol with the writing ‘The Phantom of the Opera’ inside it. The Wilds in this game can end up being Double Stacked during the main game, and the Wild will also substitute for all symbols except for the Scatter and the Letter symbol.

The Scatter symbol is the mask of the phantom, and by winning with 3 or more of these in the main game it will trigger the Bonus Selection. Scatter symbols will pay in any position and will be multiplied by the total bet staked.

The Chandelier Bonus game is a very important part of The Phantom of the Opera slot game, it is based on the well known scene from the original story where the Phantom actually cuts down the beautiful crystal chandelier in anger. However, when this occurs during the main-game it will randomly trigger a main-game feature where the whole scene goes dark, the chandelier falls down and the Phantom begins to laugh.

But don’t be too scared because this feature also makes two or three of the reels Wild!

The Letter Bonus game symbolizes the letter in which the Phantom sends to the new owners of the eerie theatre! Just like the famous play, this letter symbol is featured in The Phantom of the Opera slot game and if it lands on rel 5 it will award players with a random cash prize.

The Bonus Selection feature has to be one of the most fun and exciting elements in the Phantom of the Opera slot game. It basically consists of a feature where you have the ability to trigger any, or all of the below listed features. They all have various different types of in-game elements giving us players a bigger and better chance at winning some high note wins!

• The Music of the Night Free Spins is a bonus game where random Wilds, Wild Reels, Multipliers and Extra Spins can be added to the reels which of course gives you much better chances of winning, along with more excitement.
• The Masquerade Bonus consists of a three-tier Pick and Click feature where we can be awarded with some generous cash prizes, additional picks and there is even a level-up option where we can progress onto the next tier. Depending on which tier you are, there are some very generous cash prizes available, and the higher the tier you are, the higher the cash prizes. The music throughout the bonus game also changes with the different levels, and once you run out of Pick and Clicks, this feature will end.
• All I Ask of You is the last feature that you can choose from in the Bonus selection. This will award you with 10 Free Spins which all have a unique gaming mechanism. Two of the Phantom of the Opera character symbols will feature as Wilds ( Christine and Raoul). They will then move around randomly between each spin which will be in sequence to the music soundtrack in the background. When these character symbols land in a specific way, you will have the possibility of winning standard Wilds, single Wild reels, adjacent Wild reels, a 2x2 Wild Block, and also a 3x Multiplier.
