Haunted Opera Slots

For theater nerds, lovers of anything haunting and gothic and opera fans, Phantom of the Opera has it all. Many know Phantom of the Opera from the 2005 movie with Gerard Butler, or the countless stage adaptions of the famous story. However, Phantom of the Opera is actually based on a book by Gaston Leroux. This is a captivating story to say the least. Now, when I saw 'Haunted Opera' by RTG I was initially on the fence, worried it would be a cheap rip off and present a low quality version of Phantom of the Opera. However, after actually playing the game I can confirm that 'Haunted Opera' is so much more than a game using the legendary phantom theme.

This game is played on five reels and features twenty total pay lines. As you play, you will hear enchanting classical music that will place you smack dab in the middle of a French opera house. Graphically, this slot is brilliant. There are special symbols, such as wild symbols, and scatter symbols. You can land free spins and multipliers, which will increase your odds of landing wins. The minimum bet on all twenty pay lines is $0.20 per spin, or $0.01 per line. If you want to bet big, you can bet up to $100 per spin.

Theme

Haunted Opera very much is designed to embody Phantom of The Opera in many ways. At the top of the game there is a chandelier hanging down. Curtains are framing every side of the game grid except for the at the bottom of the screen, because the control panel is built out of the stage itself. The game takes place within the curtains of a grand theater, or rather a grand opera hall. The symbols within the reel contain the romantic gothic symbolism of Phantom of The Opera, such as masks, sheets of music, sealed letters, magic mirrors and majestic roses. The phantom itself is a character along with young Christine. There are also lower valued symbols, which are represented by the J,K,A,Q, 9 and 10.

Special Features

The white mask in a veil of smoke means you've landed a win! It'll replace all other symbols, except for the scatter letters. It'll also double your winning combinations when they appear. If you land a win during the free spins, the prizes are multiplied by 6x. Meanwhile, the phantom's letters are scattered within the reels. You can land a win wherever. they appear, not just on the standard pay lines.

The scatter symbol will also help you land five free spins if you land a letter on reel one and a mask on reel five. Once you activate the five free spins, you can land an endless amount of free spins. The phantom can appear on any reel and will award up to three additional free spins. While you play these games, all the prizes you win are tripled. While the reels themselves aren't hugely generous, you can still land a nice payout with the help of the phantom.
