The Phantom of the Opera is one the most popular musical theatre productions of all time. It therefore comes as no surprise that game developer NetEnt would come up with a slot game inspired by this masterpiece. Just like the play, the slot is set inside the theatre where Christine performs and beneath which the phantom hides. The operatic soundtrack reinforces the crisp graphics to give you the complete dramatic experience.

Gameplay begins with setting your bets. Set your preferred coin denomination by clicking on the Coin Value tabs, and the number of coins to bet per spin by clicking on the Level tabs. If you want to bet the maximum amount allowed, click on Max Bet. Set the reels into motion by clicking on the Spin button in the middle of the control panel. For a chosen number of uninterrupted spins, click on Autoplay.

Feature Symbols

In keeping with the theme, the lower-value symbols in this game are depicted as cracked mirrors. They take the form of playing card symbols. There’s a red heart, a green club, a blue diamond, and a golden spade. Higher-value symbols include a ruby ring, a dagger with a blue handle, a yellow rose, and an elegant green handheld mirror. You will also see high-value symbols depicting the main characters, Christine and the unmasked Phantom.

The phantom’s mask serves as the game’s Wild symbol. It can substitute for any of the other base game symbols, with the exception of the Scatter symbol. The Scatter symbol is a golden chandelier with the word “scatter” printed at the bottom. You will also see the Masked Phantom, which is a special symbol that appears during free spins.

Bonus Rounds

The game has the usual Free Spins feature, which is triggered when you land three Scatter symbols anywhere on the first, third, and fifth reels. The number of free spins you get depends on the symbols you land. In the bonus spins, each reel corresponds to an arm of the chandelier. When the special masked Phantom symbol appears on a reel, he cuts the corresponding chandelier arm. The bonus round is over when all chandelier arms have been cut. The masked Phantom isn’t all bad, though, as it also serves as a Wild during the free spins.

One interesting bonus feature in this game is the Masked Phantom Respin. This feature is activated when you land a stacked unmasked Phantom on the first reel and a stacked Wild on the fifth reel at the same time. All matching symbols will now be locked in place and transformed into Wild symbols for one free spin.

Another bonus round is called the Point & Click Bonus. This is triggered when you land the stacked unmasked Phantom on the first reel and the stacked Christine on the fifth reel. In Stage 1 of this round, you get to choose form 8 roses, which reward you with cash prizes. In Stage 2, you get to choose from 3 mirrors, which reward you with multipliers of as much as 3x your stake. You could win as much as 36x your original stake in this round.
