Casino equipment supplier Aristocrat Gaming has launched “The Phantom”, a slot title based on a comic book character, according to a Thursday press release.
The game was developed in partnership with King Features Syndicate Inc, a U.S.-based content distributor and animation studio owned by Hearst Corp.
The product, offered on the Baron Upright cabinet, is already being rolled out in North America, stated the gaming supplier.
The game includes “dynamic graphics, sounds, bonuses, and all the action from the original comics, telling the legend of ‘The Ghost Who Walks’,” it added.
The announcement cited Kurt Gissane, Aristocrat Gaming’s chief revenue officer, as saying: “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.”
He added: “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 company said the title includes “epic character integrations, popular mechanics like bonus meters and feature triggers, as well as the chance at free games and Hold & Spin features”.
“The Phantom slot game also offers players the chance to win a grand progressive jackpot that starts at US$10,000,” it added.
Jolie Roberts, vice president of domestic licensing at King Features, said in prepared remarks that the partnership with Aristocrat Gaming enabled her company to “reimagine how a brand like The Phantom comes to life in the casino space”.
She added: “With The Phantom front and centre, 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.”
