Haunted Opera

Editors Note : Phantom of the Opera has been re-released as Haunted Opera

The story of the Phantom of the Opera goes back to 1909 although it is best known as Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical which is now the longest running Broadway show in history. Realtime gaming have released the Phantom of the Opera slot as part of their Real Series Slots range.

The game uses the popular 5 reel, 20 line layout and features a max bet of 20 coins per spin. It's always good to see a theme being developed well and this is the case with Phantom of the Opera. The game really captures the theme with both the graphics and the sounds.

With a 20 coin max bet you are looking at spending at least 20c per spin if you are going to bet max. Of course if you have a big budget or are feeling lucky you can go as high as $100 per spin. Obviously the bigger you bet the bigger the potential jackpots.

Speaking of jackpots the top jackpot on Phantom of the Opera is 10,000 coins. There are two ways to win this with either five of the wild masks or five of the music sheets with at least one wild mask. The wild mask doubles your win so getting five music sheets without a wild still pays a nice 5,000 coins.

Other god jackpots include 1000 coins for five Christine symbols (2000 coins with a wild), 1000 coins for four music sheets (2000 coins with a wild) and 2000 coins (100X your bet) for five scattered letters. In total there are 26 unique winning combinations and all wins pay left to right except scatters.

Both the scattered letters and the wild are needed to activate the free spins. In this case you need one letter on reel 1 and a mask anywhere on reel 5. You then win 5 free spins with all wins tripled. This might seem like a low amount of free spins but there is a bit of a twist.

During the free spins the Phantom can appear on any of the reels and awards between 1 and 3 additional free games. This means that you almost always get quite a few more spins than the initial 5. With the three times multiplier you are looking at jackpots as high as 30,000 coins during the feature.

Phantom of the Opera is another high quality online slot game from RTG. It makes good use of the theme and offers enough jackpots to keep most players happy. As an added bonus it also has a random jackpot which can hit at any time and starts at $1,000.
