Ghostbusters Game Information
“Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!” IGT have another classic on their hands thanks to the Ghostbusters online slot. If you are unfamiliar with the comedy franchise, Ghostbusters is based on a group of parapsychologists who start a ghost hunting business based in New York City. The original movie released in 1984 grossed over $290 million worlwide and was followed up with a sequel in 1989, however it received mixed reviews despite grossing over $215 million worldwide. A third movie in the franchise is currently being produced, though there has been no release date announced as of yet, so enjoy this incredible Ghostbusters slot until then!

Ghostbusters Gameplay and Symbols
The Ghostbusters slot machine by IGT contains 5 reels and 30 paylines. Unlike other slots the paylines cannot be adjusted (you must play all 30 lines) and neither can the amount of coins bet per spin (50 coins is the only option). It is only the coin value which can be changed with options ranging from 0.01 to 5, meaning you can play for up to a maximum of £250 per spin.
As you would expect from a licensed slot machine by IGT, characters from the actual movie are used as symbols in the game. Firstly we have the three doctors of parapsychology (Dr Ray Stantz, Dr Peter Venkman, and Dr Egon Spengler), who are joined by Winston Zeddemore and Louis Tully. Joining the characters is the quirky Ectomobile (their vehicle), Ghost Trap, Ecto Goggles, Proton Pack, Psychokinetic Energy Meter, a Slimer Ghost (Wild) and three Scatter symbols which are used to trigger bonus features – the Ghostbusters logo, Slimer Bonus, plus the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man bonus symbol. The highest value symbol is the Slimer Ghost and should you land five of them on the reels you will be credited with 500 credits, whereas the Psychokinetic Energy Meter and Ecto Goggles are the lowest paying symbols each paying just 100 credits for five.
Ghostbusters Bonus Features
To begin with Ghostbusters is loaded with four exciting, and very lucrative, Mystery Features which are:
Multiplier – A multiplier worth between 2x and 5x is awarded to your initial win
Cash Award – You are credited with a random amount ranging from 50x to 1,000x your coin value.
Wild Reels – Between 1 and 3 reels are taken over by the Slimer Ghost turning them Wild
Extra Wilds – Between 1 and 4 reel positions are turned Wild, and any positions sharing a corner or edge with an Initial Wild can be turned Wild too
In addition to the Mystery Features you can also enjoy the following two bonus games.
Ballroom Busters – The Ballroom Busters bonus feature is activated when you land a Ghostbuster symbol on both reels 2 and 3 along with a Slimer Bonus symbol on the fourth reel. You are then given five proton shots to fire at various types of furniture in the ballroom in order to find any of the 6 Slimers hidden in them. If you find a Slimer you could receive a multiplier bonus worth 2x or 5x.
Stay Puft Free Spins – The free spins mode in Ghostbusters is by far the most rewarding feature, and it is activated when you land a Ghostbuster symbol on both reels 2 and 3 along with the Stay Puft Bonus symbol in reel 4. You are then given 8 free spins, which are played on 40 lines (10 more than in the base game) and contain different symbols. Marshmallows fall onto the reels and some turn into Roasted Marshmallows which then lock into place and turn Wild for the remainder of the feature, though sometimes the Marshmallow will be eaten by the game and reward you a cash prize instead. One other thing to remember is that the free spins mode cannot be retriggered during the feature, however wins are usually very generous which makes up for this.
