Aristocrat Gaming is launching a new slot game featuring comic book crimefighter The Phantom, the company, along with King Features Syndicate, a unit of Hearst, has announced.
The title is featured on The Baron Upright cabinet and includes graphics, sounds, bonuses, and action inspired by the original comics, telling the legend of “The Ghost Who Walks.”
“We are thrilled to once again introduce The Phantom to casino players with a game that is packed with excitement and adventure, on the latest hardware, The Baron,” said Kurt Gissane, Chief Revenue Officer at Aristocrat Gaming.
“The Phantom has a legion of fans spanning across the world, and we’re excited for them to experience this new iteration of the brand, while also introducing unfamiliar players to comics’ first costumed hero.”
The game caters to fans of slot games and The Phantom alike, featuring character integrations, mechanics like bonus meters and feature triggers, as well as the chance at free games and Hold & Spin features. The Phantom slot game also offers players the chance to win a grand progressive jackpot that starts at $10,000.
