Universal Monsters: The Phantom’s Curse Slot Demo » from NetEnt

Universal Monsters: The Phantom’s Curse is a proper top slot machine game from Netent, tied release-wise with Microgaming’s hugely-popular “Phantom of the Opera” slot.

While this drew some criticism from critics, as a whole, the game’s gone relatively well. Within this review, we’ll be looking at what makes the game so enjoyable for players and how you can begin to enjoy it from the comfort of your computer, laptop, or mobile device.

Universal Monsters: The Phantom’s Curse Slot is a 5-reel, 40-pay-line slot which can be played from as little as 40c per spin.

The maximum spin amount – depending on which casino you choose to play it at – can reach as high as €200.

The game benefits from several different features and bonuses, and you’ll see the masked phantom re-spin feature, the stacked phantom re-spin feature, and the wild random feature. We’ll cover those in more depth later in this post.

The first is the symbols on the reels themselves. You won’t see any traditional playing card symbols, including Ten, Jack, Queen, King, and Ace, with the game opting – instead – to use symbols like Hearts, Clubs, Spades, Diamonds, Daggers, Hand Mirrors, Yellow Roses, Sapphire Rings, along with a couple of characters from the opera; Christine and the Phantom himself.

Of course, the Phantom Symbol is the higher-paying symbol on the reels, and if you manage to land this, you’ll be in for a massive win!

Game Features

There are a couple of features to be aware of during the gameplay, and the first is the “Pick Me Bonus”, triggered whenever the Phantom Symbol lands fully on the first reel and the Christine Symbol lands fully on the fifth reel.

You then enter the bonus round, where you can win cash prizes, multipliers, and even entry to the main free spins feature.

There’s the Masked Phantom Re-Spin bonus, triggered by landing a stacked Phantom symbol on the first reel and a stacked Mask Symbol on the fifth reel. These symbols will then turn wild, and a re-spin is awarded. Any further mask symbol that land also turns into wilds and a further re-spin is awarded until you no longer get a win.

The final – and most desirable feature – is the free spins bonus round, triggered by landing three scatter symbols on reels one, three and five. Once you do, you’ll win unlimited free spins, with these continuing until a masked phantom symbol lands on all of the five reels.
