A frenzy of features, modifiers and extras as well as a free spins round will reward you with wins of up to 5,000 times your bet.

Slot Details

Ghostbusters Plus is a video slot with five reels, three rows and 20 fixed pay lines. Wins are awarded for three to five matching symbols on a line from left to right only. Become a ghost hunter on desktop or mobile from 0.25 to 750 credits per spin. The game has medium volatility with an RTP range from 93.99% to 98%.

Loading the game will take you to a dark New York alley with flickering street lights and an eerie soundtrack contributing to the creepy factor. The Ghostbusters car is parked in a garage with the door open ready to go at any moment on the next mission. The frameless game window seems to be floating in the air while a laughing ghost on the left indicates your current play level, of which there are 10 to get through.

The pay symbols start at the low end with the card royals from J through to A, awarding 2x to 4x your stake for a single five of a kind. They are followed by the four Ghostbusters – Raymond Stantz (played by Dan Aykroyd), Egon Spengler (played by Harold Ramis), Walter Peck (played by William Atherton) Peter Venkman (played by Bill Murray). Hit five on a line to win 8x to 20x your stake.

The Ghostbusters logo is the wild and top payer, substituting for all regular symbols and yielding 40x your bet when five land across the reels. A Zuul marked with ‘Bonus’ is the standard scatter while nine ghost scatters, appearing on reel three only, will each trigger its respective feature.

Ghostbusters Plus Slot Features

Just like the movie, there is no time to take a breather as the game is loaded to the brim with modifiers, extra features and a bonus round. Hang tight as we take you through them in the best chronological order.

Core to the gameplay is the Ghost Battle. One of nine different ghost symbols can land on reel three in any round to trigger the battle. One of the Ghostbusters will appear to take up to three shots at the creepy creature to award a range of Ghost Wilds. Simultaneously, the health meter of the ghost is reducing. Reaching zero will see you level up which will unlock and improve the rewards.

The Level Up feature is the second most important part of the gameplay as it will unlock increasingly better rewards and extra features. Here’s what you will get by going through each of the levels. Once you reach level 10, any of the features can be triggered on a spin.

• Level 1: x3, x5 and x10 multiplier wilds (Ghost Wilds), Proton Pack (Equipment feature)
• Level 2: Ghost Sniffer (Equipment feature)
• Level 3: Expanding wilds (Ghost Wilds) – horizontal or diagonal
• Level 4: PKE Meter (Equipment feature)
• Level 5: 2 or 3 Extra Ghost Wilds added
• Level 6: Ecto Goggles (Equipment feature)
• Level 7: Expanding wilds (Ghost Wilds) – cross pattern
• Level 8: Psychogram Helmet (Equipment feature)
• Level 9: 4 Extra Ghost Wilds added
• Level 10: Tobin’s Spirit Guide feature

Any won Ghost Wilds will be placed in the Ghost Queue at the bottom right of the game window and will come into play one at a time on the following spins. The queue can hold up to 20 Ghost Wilds, which come in three varieties:

• Multiplier Ghost Wilds: Are marked with an x3, x5 or x10x multiplier, applied only to the winning combo the wild is part of.
• Expanding Ghost Wilds: horizontal, diagonal or cross-shaped expanding wilds
• Extra Ghost Wilds: 2, 3 or 4 extra Ghost Wilds are added to the reels

The Equipment feature can be triggered at any random time in the base game. However, the available features are based on your current level. There a total of five modifiers which can be progressively unlocked.

• Proton Pack: Two to four card royals are turned into the character symbol with the most instances on the reels.
• Ghost Sniffer: Here the Ghost Battle will be awarded with a random ghost.
• PKE Meter: One of the four royal symbols will be turned into wilds to create a higher win.
• Ecto Goggles: Adds a bonus symbol if you already have two in view to trigger the Zuul Free Spins.
• Psychogram Helmet: Adds two bonus symbols if you have one in view to trigger the Zuul Free Spins.

Catching all nine ghosts to reach level 10 will reward you with The Tobins Spirit Guide feature. You can now pick which ghost to appear in the Ghost Battles and thus control which wilds or modifiers to benefit from. Any progress in the game is stored between your sessions separately at each casino where you play the game.

Get ready for the main act, the Zuul Free Spins, when you land bonus scatters on reels one, three and five in on spin or via one of the two Equipment features. You will now enter a Zuul Battle first. Zap him five times to collect 5 free spins and 5 random Ghost Wilds. You can retrigger the feature to get +2 free spins and +2 Ghost Wilds for each occasion, up to a maximum of 25 free spins. During the Zuul Free Spins, the Ghost Wilds are boosted to provide more potential for big and mega wins.

• Multiplier Ghost Wilds of x25
• Expanding Ghost Wild: Mega wilds which expand to all adjacent positions
• Extra Ghost Wilds: Five extra wilds are added to the reels

Final Verdict

Phew, that was something. Not to worry though as it all looks more complicated and convoluted that it actually is. It will become all clear once you triggered the features a few times as well as unlocked some of the levels. The best potential is in the Zuul Free Spins when the x25 multiplier wild comes into play. A single five of a kind of wild symbols will pay then 1,000 times your bet. Overall, we estimate the maximum potential to peak around the 5,000x mark.
