LAS VEGAS, NV – Aristocrat Gaming and King Features Syndicate, a unit of Hearst, have announced the release of a new slot game featuring the comic book character The Phantom. Available on the Baron Upright™, the game includes dynamic graphics, sounds, bonuses, and all the action from the original comics, 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,” said Kurt Gissane, Chief Revenue Officer at Aristocrat Gaming. “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.”
The game includes character integrations, mechanics such as bonus meters and feature triggers, and opportunities for free games and hold-and-spin features. The Phantom slot game 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, VP of Domestic Licensing at King Features. “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.”
The announcement comes during a dynamic period of growth for The Phantom franchise. Earlier this year, the brand launched its original video game, The Phantom, from Art of Play Interactive, and a new comic series from Mad Cave Studios is set to debut this September. This slot game marks a key milestone in the brand’s broader momentum as it gears up to introduce fresh fan touchpoints in celebration of its 90th anniversary next year.
The Phantom is part of the game portfolio available on the Baron Upright™, which also includes Bao Zhu Zhao Fu Ignite™ Blue Prosperity and Red Prosperity, Lucky Looters™ Leprechaun and Devil, and Buffalo Gold Cash Collection™, all currently available for sale.
