Universal Monsters is the name of a series of slot games from NetEnt. They’ve done a deal with Universal to bring us some engaging and thrilling games based on some of the most familiar monsters of all. The series has been going since 2011, but Phantom’s Curse is the latest in a long line of successes. Will this be just as good as the others? Let’s find out.
Format of reels and win lines
The five reels are superimposed over a classic theater… does that remind you of Phantom of the Opera, by chance? Each reel has four icons on it. You also get 40 paylines included in the mix.
Coins to choose from
The lines are fixed in this game, but you’ll play just 20 cents per spin at the lowest end of the range. The top end reaches a huge $200 per spin.
Special symbols in Universal Monsters: Phantom’s Curse
We all recognize the mask worn by the Phantom. It is used in this slot as the wild icon. It can appear anywhere in a spin and will replace everything with two exceptions. The first of these is the chandelier scatter, which can appear on the odd-numbered reels but not on the other two. The bonus symbols cannot be replaced by the wild either. More about these shortly.
Special bonus features to unlock
You can win unlimited free spins whenever you secure the chandelier on each of the odd-numbered reels. These take place on another set of reels. Each reel becomes highlighted when the masked Phantom appears on it. You can continue playing the free games until the Phantom has appeared on all the reels. You will also benefit from the Phantom being wild in this feature. He will be stacked whenever he shows up on a highlighted reel.
If you get the Phantom appearing without his mask in two spots on the first reel, together with the stacked mask on the fifth reel, you get a respin. Better still, the bonus icons, wilds, and all appearances of the Phantom are held for that spin. Oh, and they’re all wild too!
But there’s more. If you find the Phantom minus his mask in stacked format on the first reel and a stacked version of Christine on the fifth reel, you play a picking game. This takes you through two levels and gives you a chance to win up to 7,200 coins.
