The Phantom of the Opera is a 5 reel, 243 ways to win slot from Microgaming that is based on Andrew Lloyd Webber’s world-famous musical which was subsequently made into a film. Playable from 30p to £15 a spin on all devices, it comes with 2 base game features and 3 further bonus features including free spins with various wild extras.
Visually, The Phantom of the Opera perfectly depicts the award-winning film and has a dark and sinister feel to it – set inside the opera house, symbols on the reels include Phantom Masks, binoculars, letters, roses, scrolls, poison, Don Juan, the Monkey and various characters (including Carlotta, Raoul, Christine and the Phantom himself) from the highly acclaimed musical.
There’s also a wild which replaces all symbols bar the Phantom Mask and Letter – the wild, as well as Phantom, Christine and Raoul symbols can land doubled stacked. In terms of the soundtrack, it’s 1 of the best we’ve ever come across as it uses the original one.
When it comes to bonus features, you have 2 base game features. Firstly, there’s the Letter Bonus feature which is triggered when the Letter symbol appears anywhere on reel 5. This will simply reward you with a cash prize of up to 20 times your stake.

Then you have the Chandelier Bonus feature which is randomly triggered in the base game – basically, the Opera House Chandelier will randomly drop onto the reels and turn between 2 and 3 reels turn fully wild.
The other symbol to look out for the famous Phantom Mask as 3 or more anywhere on the reels will allow you to pick from 3 bonus features:
The Music of the Night Free Spins feature rewards you with 10 free spins with random Phantom features in play on each free spin. You can benefit from up to 5 randomly placed wild symbols, up to 3 random wild reels, between 2 and 5 extra free spins and a win multiplier between 2x and 4x.
The Masquerade Pick Bonus feature is a 3 level pick me style game where you pick from masks to win cash prizes. You can also win more picks to win more.
The All I Ask of You Free Spins feature gives you 10 free spins but it benefits from Dancing Wilds – Christine and Raoul symbols become wilds and dance above the reels. They then move to a random adjacent position on each free spin. When the Raoul and Christine wilds land on the same position, you will benefit from a 3x multiplier. If they land on the same reel, the whole reel becomes wild and if they land next to each other, both reels will become fully wild. If they land diagonally on adjacent reels, the wilds expand to give you a 2x2 wild.
As you can see, there’s plenty going on in The Phantom of the Opera – it’s a medium variance slot but the key to winning big can come in the base game with up to 3 random wild reels and the 2 free spins features where you can get lots of extra free spins, up to 5 wilds per free spin, up to 3 wild reels per free spin, multipliers up to 4x and Dancing Wilds which give you treble wins, wild reels and 2x2 block wilds.
I found it to be a very good release from Microgaming and it has the potential to payout over 7,733 times your stake on each spin (with the 4x multiplier naturally). Overall, 1 of Microgaming’s better slots – and about time too. I would also recommend you try some of Microgaming’s other favourites such as Immortal Romance and Avalon II.
One of Microgaming’s biggest releases of 2017 appears to be Phantom of the Opera, a slot machine for which they signed a licensing agreement and which is based on the 2004 film, rather than the 1968 musical.
5 reels are going to be populated with a fixed number of ways to win, 243 of them since each column has 3 symbols. You will be able to experience a lot of very interesting features, such as wilds, multipliers, free games, bonus games and even random features.
Betting and Prizes
The game gives you the option to use a full betting range of $0.30 to $15. It pretends that it uses 30 lines, so that the betting is smoother, but it actually relies on ways to win for its combinations. The bet that you place on one line will vary between $0.01 and $0.50, which explains the total betting range. The number of bet lines is fixed.
You can’t expect for a huge payout to come your way just from regular combinations, especially since the wagers don’t have high margins. On the other hand, you can rely on multipliers and on a variety of other features to make the game’s RTP a good reason for you to try out the slot.

Features
There are several symbols inside Phantom of the Opera that will appear stacked, but covering only two positions on the reels, out of the three available. One of these symbols is actually the wild feature. You can expect the wild to do its job fairly often, particularly in a game where symbols don’t have to appear on fixed positions, just on the right columns. Don’t rely on wilds to substitute for Letter or Phantom Mask icons though, as those are both scatters.
The game doesn’t rely only on special symbols to bring its features to life. It also triggers them at random, as it is the case with the Chandelier Bonus. If this feature does trigger for you, then you will find that the Chandelier of the Opera House will fall on the reels and will turn 2 or 3 into wild reels.
A simple feature, but coming via a scatter symbol, is the one offered by the Letter when it shows up on reel 5. The simple feature that results from this will get you a cash reward of up to 20x the bet.
One of the more interesting parts of the game will come via the Phantom Mask, a scatter that’s going to give you one of three potential features when it is in three positions or more. The choice is yours, to make between the free spins and bonus games that are available this way.

The bonus game is called Masquerade Pick and it gives you picks to make, as you pass through three levels. Winning additional picks is possible as well.
All I Ask of You is the name of one of the free spins features, with 10 rounds to give you and with Dancing Wilds acting as the extra features. 3x multipliers and 2x2 wilds are available inside.
Music of the Night also gives you free spins, and it’s still 10 rounds. The features are different though, giving you something random each round. You can get 2x to 4x multipliers, 2 to 5 additional free games, a maximum of 3 wild reels or up to 5 random wilds.
Theme & Design
I’m not crazy about the look of the game, but that’s natural since it’s inspired by an actual film from 2004 and it uses photos of the actors in several positions. It’s also going to have different objects from the film, such as masks, binoculars or red roses, among others.
