Play The Phantom’s Curse Online Pokie Free
If you were quick on the ball back in October, you might have had a chance (a very brief chance, mind you) to try your hand at Net Entertainment’s Phantom of the Opera pokie.
Before you could really get to grips with it, the Scandinavian casino software providers whipped it away, without warning. We now know that it was to avoid a clash with Microgaming’s identically named game.
Redesigned, readjusting, renamed and rereleased with a tie-in to the Universal Monsters franchise, the remodelled The Phantom’s Curse is a far better game and one which is directly superior to its Microgaming rival.
How to play
The game is cheaper to play than its counterpart, too. This game features 40 paylines of action, but rather than costing $0.40 per spin, you can actually get away with bets which set you back just $0.20 per spin. If you have cash to burn, you can flash that cash to the tune of $200 a spin on this excellent value for money pokie machine.

Features
Wild symbols: The Phantom’s mask symbol appears as a wild icon in this game. Of course, like all wilds, it can substitute for all standard paying symbols, though not special icons.
Scatter symbols: Chandelier symbols appear as scatter icons, and when they pop up on reels 1, 3 and 5, they will start the free spin bonus round that this game has to offer players.
Free spins bonus: In that feature, players will get to play with an unlimited number of free spins until all 5 reels become highlighted. A reel is highlighted (and thus turned wild) when a masked phantom shows up on that reel. During the feature, masked phantoms are secondary wilds.
Instant Win feature: The masked phantom may be a wild in the free spin bonus, but it is the unmasked phantom which can trigger an instant win feature in the base game. Land him on the first reel (and Christine on the fifth) to trigger a two-tiered bonus. Firstly, you get to pick a rose for a cash prize, then you get to pick a mirror to win a multiplier. The total amalgamation is then paid out to you.
Re-spin feature: Alongside the free spin bonus, this game also contains a re-spin feature. Again, landing the unmasked phantom on the first reel is the key, although this time a phantom mask symbol must appear on the fifth reel. When this happens, any phantom, scatter/bonus or wild symbols you have on the reels will turn to wilds whilst a re-spin is issued.
Maximum pay-outs
This Phantom of the Opera-themed pokie coughs up terrific wins with its generous 200x your total bet non-progressive jackpot being worth the most. A solid return to player rate of 96.57% also ensures that your wins are considerably fairer than its Microgaming rival.
Summary
We all know that NetEnt and Microgaming are going to go head-to-head with these games. Many casinos will even feature both pokies. Our money is on Universal Monsters: The Phantom’s Curse coming out on top, though. It is better value for money, has more generous wins, and better features to boot.
