Personal testers’ opinion about Universal Monsters: The Phantom’s Curse slot

• Beyond a shadow of a doubt, this is one very appealing qua graphics and design game. Whether you’re into this topic, or not, the orchestral music is just appropriate for gambling, period. While you’re spinning the reels, it gives you a positive vibe, no matter if you’re winning or losing.
• The paytable here consists of only low-priced symbols (for the 5OAK top symbol – the Phantom the payout is negligible 10x total bets), which makes the base game potential of a maximum 400x total bets. So, the expectations from this slot cannot be other than countless small win spins (1x-10x bets), and fewer average size payouts (40x-60x). This way the low variance game keeps the balance well and it proves suitable for completing the bonus requirements, reaching a wagering index of 6.29 (out of 10).
• The bonus feature is launched quite often. Statistically, it’s triggered every 34th spin (2.97%). 46% of the total prize pool is reserved for payouts in the bonus spins. The probability of any hit reaches only 18.93%. Approximately, only every 5th spin.

Bonus features

• When you land 3 Scatter symbols (on reels 1, 3, and 5) the Free Spins are triggered. The chandelier symbol rises up and an undetermined amount of Free Spins is awarded. Every time a Wild symbol is included in a winning combination, one of the ropes from which the chandelier is suspended, is cut. When all the ropes are cut, the chandelier drops down and that’s the end of the Free Spins bonus game.
• Land Stacked Phantom symbols on reel 1, Stacked Christine symbols on reel 5, and the Pick and Click bonus game is triggered. A) Initially you get to pick (coins) from 8 roses. The first pick is always a coin win (20, 40, and 100 coins, multiplied by the bet). The second and third picks can be coin win or blocker (void). B) In the next stage of this feature you have a choice between 3 mirrors. 1 pick is all you get and the mirror you chose will reveal a multiplier of 1x, 2x, or x3.
• When you land Stacked Phantom symbols on reel 1, and Stacked Mask symbols on reel 5, a Re-spin is rewarded. Any Bonus symbols or Mask symbols appearing during the Re-spin, turn into Wilds, which will bring you decent winnings every single time.
