The Phantom of the Opera Link & Win Online Slot brings the legendary stage play of the same name to life on the reels. Characters and objects from the theatrical tale appear a symbols and I was impressed at how much the overall theme captured the magic of the play. This is thanks to the rich graphics, although an accompanying orchestral soundtrack would have made it even better. What got me most excited was the prospect of winning the game’s top prize of $253 000.

When the game launches, you will see the reel set with a Win Booster button alongside it that allows you to increase your bet by 2.5x in exchange for more Link & Win symbols appearing. While this is a great feature, it will drain your bankroll faster than normal so be sure to keep an eye on your balance.
This title offers simple gameplay, and you will have the ability to adjust the spin speed, Autoplay, your stake, and sound settings from the home screen. Remember that Autoplay does not apply during Link & Win, so you will have to hit the spin button manually while this feature is running.
Free Spins
If you want to receive 10 free spins, you will have to land 3 scatters land on reels 2, 3, and 4. The middle three reels merge into a mega-reel where 3x3 sized jumbo symbols can appear. If you land a jumbo scatter symbol, you will receive 10 extra free spins, while a Link & Win jumbo symbol is equal to 9 of the standard-sized ones.
Link & Win
To trigger this feature, you will need to land 6 or more Phantom Mask Link & Win symbols as pictured below.
When they appear, the Link & Win feature activates. The Link & Win symbols display values of up to 20x the bet, or the Mini, Minor, or Major jackpots, worth 50x, 150x, or 750x the bet, respectively. You will be allocated 3 respins where the triggering symbols remain locked on the reels for the duration of the feature.
Only blank positions or Link & Win symbols can appear on each respin and when the symbols do appear, they also become sticky and the respins tally will reset to 3. The round will end when you run out of respins, or when all positions on the grid are filled. If you do fill the grid, you will receive the Mega Jackpot of 5000x, otherwise, you will receive the total of the displayed values on-screen as well as any jackpots.
While this title is entertaining, the bonus features aren’t anything you haven’t seen before. That being said, their familiarity does not detract from how the help your winning potential. You could walk away with as much as $253 000 from a single spin in this rewarding theatrical homage, and if this doesn’t satisfy your hunger for classic entertainment-themed slots, you have other options. The Great Albini offers the wonder of a magician show and The Creature from the Black Lagoon brings golden-age celluloid glory to the reels.
