In the end, Phantom Cash offers something a bit different from the now common free spins bonus. We like the Ghost Catcher Feature although we would have liked to see a multiplier on the free games which would have boosted the potential jackpots. Still if you’re looking for a spooky slot to play during Halloween then Phantom Cash is worth a peek.
Ghoulish slots always seem to deliver the unearthly goods to the Earth-bound slots punters. And prolific slot developer Microgaming’s 5 reel, 25 pay-line online slot, Phantom Cash, will have you howling at the moon for more.

The Scatter is the ghostly mansion icon. Five Scatters awards a top whack of 47,500 coins. If that sounds pretty sweet, wait till you see the bonus round.
When both our ghost busting heroes appear on the same row, each captured ghost reveals a bonus prize of 4x the total bet.
If you catch a ghost your meter drops down gradually to zero, but you can re-trigger the feature and get more ghosts to catch.
Weird takes on the horror genre are nothing new in online slots. Anyone who’s played Microgaming’s wacky horror-themed slot, Halloweenies, or the all-out weirdfest, Alaxe in Wonderland, from the same developer, it seems slots developers have pretensions of being the next Tim Burton of the gaming world. It’s obvious someone at Microgaming has something of a soft spot for the master of Gothic schlock.
Back to the base game and there are several good mid level pays with the four Ghost symbols offering the best line wins.
Five of a kind pays come in at between 1,000 and 400 coins for the Ghosts and between 200 and 100 coins for the remaining symbols. All of these wins can be multiplied by up to 20 depending on your bet per line.
Phantom Cash is a 25 line Microgaming video slot released in time for Halloween, 2012. The game features spooky graphics as well as a unique style of free spins where the Ghost Hunters catch ghosts. The game comes in a range of coin sizes and max bet is 500 coins.
When both our ghost busting heroes appear on the same row, each captured ghost reveals a bonus prize of 4x the total bet.
The reels are filled with some pretty steampunk-looking ghosties, including a top-scoring red ghost Napoleon lookalike (if Napoleon was in an early ‘80s post-punk outfit) and awards 19,000 coins.
There are three other ghoulish beauties to look out for, plus the obligatory 9-through-Ace card symbols.
In a bit of a twist the highest paying win during the base game is for the five scattered Mansion symbols which award 2,500 coins per coin bet or 50,000 coins at max bet. The Mansion symbols also trigger the games only bonus feature – The Ghost Zap.
Three or more Scattered mansions anywhere triggers the Ghost Zap Feature. The ghost meter starts at 8 and shows the number of ghosts you need to capture. Our daring duo, Thurmingham and Carstairs will capture all colored ghosts that land in their row to reveal a capture bonus prize of 2x your bet.
The way the Ghost Catchers work is that every time a wild appears on the screen all ghost symbols on that row are caught. Each ghost that is captured awards X2 your total bet if one wild is in the row or 4X your bet if both wilds are on the row. The free games can be re-triggered with three or more Mansions. It’s worth noting that there is no extra multiplier for the free spins which is a bit of a negative in our opinion.
The Wilds are actually Victorian ghost-catchers called Thurmingham and Carstairs.
(Thurmingham is the younger of the pair and looks like Daniel Day-Lewis, while Carstairs looks like Bob Hoskins in bugger chops.) They substitute for all regular symbols in the game other than the Scatter – although they only appear on reels 1 and 5 respectively – and multiply all winning combos they help form by a factor of 2.
Phantom Cash has two wild symbols which only appear on the first and last reel. The Ghost Catchers are wild with Thurmingham appearing on reel one and Carstairs appearing on reel 5. While you cannot get five wilds the wild symbols are still important as any win with at least one wild is doubled.
Getting three or more scatters awards the feature where you are awarded 8 ghosts. Your free spins continue until you run out of ghosts. This makes the feature interesting as you never really know how many free spins you’ll get. It also gives you another way to win.
