Ghost Glyph slot review (Quickspin)

Ghost Glyph slot from Quickspin is a spooky grid slot with lots of action

Lately, Quickspin has surprised me in a positive way withs slots that are different from what we are used to.

For example, take their last two slots, Vampire Senpai and Artemis vs. Medusa. The features are, in both slots, innovative.

The same for this slot. Some ghosts help you make winning combinations in a 7×7 grid slot.

The slot will be released in September 2020, and as Quickspin indicates, nicely in time for Halloween.

And what about the win potential?

On Ghost Glyph, the maximum win is a modest 2,260x bet

Nowadays, a maximum win of just under 2,3000 times the stake could be called modest, but the odds of winning something decent are better!

Ghost Glyph slot – Gameplay and Features

Ghost Glyph is a cluster pays slot, with a 7×7 grid. You get winning combos if you spin groups of at least five adjacent symbols (horizontally or vertically).

Like most grid slots, you have the Tumbling (Avalanche or Cascading) mechanism, where you get a free respin after a winning combo. The symbols of the winning combo disappear, and new symbols replace these.

There are three premium symbols (Diamonds, Rubies and Emeralds) and four lower paying symbols (stone coins).

The Wilds are the gold-coloured “W” symbols.

The Urn Features (boosters)

The main symbol is our Ghost Glyph himself (a blue-coloured ghost spinning in a kind of bowl).

As soon as you spin a winning combo, the winning symbols disappear, and new symbols appear. One of these new symbols is the Ghost Glyph symbol.

When you get another winning combo with a Ghost Glyph symbol, the Ghost Glyph flies to the top right end of the screen and gets one of the ghosts to wake up from its Urn.

These ghosts (in fact, boosters) provide convenient extras. You have the:

Yellow Ghost Urn: It gets you 4 to 10 Wilds, and these appear at random places.

Green Ghost Urn: It transforms certain low-paying symbols into other low-paying symbols, so you have new chances to land a winning combo.

Red Ghost Urn: It removes some low-paying symbols, making way for new symbols.

Blue Ghost Urn: This is the most attractive booster, as it activates the bonus game (+8 free spins). If you are in the bonus game itself, this booster yields 3+ free spins.

The free spins – the massive wild feature

The gameplay of the free spins is similar to that of the main game, but now you the so-called “paranormality levels”, where you “collect points” to activate the massive wilds feature. If things go your way, you end up with a 3×3 Colossal Wild.

The 3×3 Wild appears in the last spin, and if you’re lucky, it makes its way for several respins.

If you’re fortunate, you get five or even more respins with the 3×3 Wild. If you have a several Diamonds or Rubies adjacent to the 3×3 Wild, you’re talking about a massive win.

Payout percentage (RTP)

The payout percentage of Ghost Glyph is 96.18%. It’s around average for an online slot.

The variance (volatility) of Ghost Glyph is medium to high

Quickspin does not reveal the variance. Based on the maximum win (2.260x) and the Colossal Wild feature, I expect the variance is medium to high.

The top wins will, realistically, be around 500x.

Pros and Cons

Advantages:

• It’s a mysterious and surprising slot.
• The free spins are incredibly exciting.
• Original features

Disadvantages:

• You won’t land the real mega wins.
• The free spins action takes way to long for impatient players.

So, who’ll like the slot? And who won’t?

Many online casinos will hype this Quickspin slot come Halloween because it looks fantastic and is lots of fun to play.

Recreational slots players who appreciate so many original features will embrace this one.

If you are looking for spectacular wins, however, you need to find a more volatile slot.
