The Phantoms Curse

The Phantoms Curse Review

The Phantoms Curse Reviewed January 24 2018 by Casinogamesonnet.com

NetEnt's Phantom of the Opera slot recreates one of the most-famous musicals (and novels) of all time. The musical is known for its haunting melodies and dramatic storyline. And NetEnt doesn't disappoint in this department, opening with a high-quality introduction where the phantom overlooks Paris from a rooftop.

From here, you're taken inside the Paris Opera House, where you'll see the story play out on the reels. Let's continue discussing what to expect from this game when it hits online casinos on July 24, 2017.

Gameplay and Atmosphere

The big reason to play Phantom of the Opera slot is definitely its atmosphere and graphics. You get to see the Paris Opera House with both empty and full seats – all while hearing the musical scores that add drama to this story.

Symbols that we see during the preview include: Christine, Erik (phantom), a broken heart, mirror, knife, rose ring, and chandelier. The phantom is the wild symbol, while the chandelier acts as the scatter.

The animations are quite good in this game. These include: the phantom's face in the mirror; phantom putting his mask on; a heart breaking; chandelier shaking; the phantom revealing his face before free spins; and the chandelier ropes being cut one by one as it's about to fall on the crowd.

Phantom of the Opera Slot Special Features

Masked Phantom Re-spin – When Erik appears, he puts his mask on and can award you free re-spins.

Free Spins – 3 or more chandelier scatter symbols start free spins. These continue until all of the ropes have been cut and the chandelier falls on the crowd.

Pick and Click – Christine sits down in her dressing room and picks roses to win coins. She also selects a mirror to reveal a multiplier.

Final Thoughts on Phantom of the Opera

While Phantom of the Opera has some nice features, the primary reason to play this game is its atmosphere. NetEnt did a great job of making the game feel just as eerie as the story. The animations really help sell the atmosphere too. And we also like how the free spins and pick-and-click feature have cutscenes before they take place.

All in all, Phantom of the Opera slot is definitely worth checking out when it's released on July 24 – no matter if you're a fan of the story, or know absolutely nothing about it.

You can play Phantom of the Opera online slot for fun here on its releaseday or play other Net Entertainment slots for fun until then.
