The Ghost Busters movie was the biggest film of 1984 and now Microgaming have paid tribute to the film with the release of the Jonny Specter slot machine. The game also has a new 3D style feature which is as close as you will get to the Reel Depth style slots from IGT online.
The game uses the 5 reel, 20 line format and has a maximum bet of 100 coins per game or 5 coins per line. There are a good amount of coin sizes available which range from 1c to 50c. This means you can be hitting the max bet button for anywhere between $1 and $50 per game.
Jonny Specter has a haunted theme with symbols such as scattered ghosts, clocks, cats, pianos and safes all on the reels. You also have the Jonny Specter logo, Jonny himself and the girl symbol. In total there are 35 different unique winning combinations.
As soon as you press spin you will notice that a ghost floats over the reels. This ghost is a wandering wild symbol. Once the reels stop spinning the ghost haunts one symbol to make it wild. This means you are guaranteed to get at least one wild on the screen on every spin.
The top jackpot during normal play is 3,000 coins (15,000 at 5 coins per line). To win the top award you need to line up five Jonny Specter logos on any active line. Second highest line win is 1,800 coins for five Jonny symbols and third highest line pay is 1,500 coins for five girls.
There is a second way to hit for 15,000 coins with the five scattered ghosts. This means there are two ways to hit the games top award. As you would expect the scatters are also the ticket to the free games. Get three or more and you win 13 free spins with all wins doubled.
During the free games the wandering wild disappears and a new wild feature is activated. On each free spin you are guaranteed to get a whole reel of wilds. This makes getting the bigger wins a bit easier on the bonus. The free spins can be re-triggered and the top jackpot grows to 30,000 coins at max bet.
Jonny Specter also has a pick a box style reel based bonus. Get the building symbol anywhere on reel five and you win the bonus. Three ghosts are displayed and you get to pick one to reveal your bonus win. During our review the highest win we saw on the Ghost Busting Bonus was 800 coins.
In the end Jonny Specter is a great game from Microgaming. It has some of the best graphics we have seen and the jackpots are not bad either. The wandering wild adds to the excitement and the free spins are always fun. |
