The Phantom is returning to casino floors across the country.
King Features Thursday announced the comic book crimefighter, in a collaboration with Aristocrat Gaming, will be featured in a new slot game. Housed on the BaronUpright cabinet, the game will showcase dynamic graphics, sounds, bonuses, and action from the original comic 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,” Aristocrat Gaming Chief Revenue Officer Kurt Gissane said in a statement. “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.”
Included in The Phantom are character integrations, popular mechanics such as bonus meters and feature triggers, and chances at free games and hold & spin features. The Phantom also offers players the chance to win a grand progressive jackpot that starts at $10,000.
“Teaming up with Aristocrat Gaming on this launch let us reimagine how a brand like The Phantom comes to life in the casino space,” said Jolie Roberts, King Features Vice President of Domestic Licensing Jolie Roberts. “With The Phantom front and center, we’re proud to celebrate the legacy of The Ghost Who Walks and give fans a bold new way to connect with the brand through visually striking gameplay.”
This year an original video game, The Phantom, from Art of Play Interactive, was released. A new comic series from Mad Cave Studios is set to debut this September.
The slot game marks a key milestone for the brand as it gears up to introduce “fresh fan touchpoints” in celebration of The Phantom’s 90th anniversary next year.
