Ghost Glyph

Ghost Glyph Review

As Halloween approaches, numerous developers are launching slots dedicated to the holiday. As the title suggests, the game explores a ghost theme, but it's not scary at all. The ghosts are friendly and helpful, so it's nothing like the horror genre.

Some might recall another game with 'Glyph' in the title, but this game is different. Ghost Glyph is like a recent slot, with a ghost-inspired theme and interesting features to keep you entertained. Let's see if Ghost Glyph can be the best Halloween slot of 2020.

Ghost Glyph - Technical Info

The game features a 7x7 grid with the Cluster Pays system. Its math model is medium-high, rated 4 out of 5, so wins might not be frequent. The RTP is 96.18%, above the industry average of 96%. With a hit frequency of 33%, returns are fairly often, as every third spin should theoretically win.

Playable from 0.2$ to 100$ per spin, it has a wide betting range for all players. High-rollers can win up to 226,000$ on a spin. Though 2,260 times the bet is decent, we've seen higher payouts.

Ghost Glyph - Design and Symbols

The action occurs on a driveway to a haunted mansion. The slot's visuals are great, and everything looks perfect. The animations are smooth and the soundtrack is another highlight, fitting the gameplay perfectly and enhancing the atmosphere.

The symbols are high-quality and detailed, including 7 regular symbols, 4 lows and 3 highs. The low pays are coins with patterns like stars, moons, skulls, and spider webs. The valuable symbols are emeralds, rubies, and diamonds. A golden ingot with a W is the Wild symbol, substituting any regular symbols but having no value itself.

The game uses the Cluster Pays mechanic. At least 5 horizontally or vertically matching symbols score a win, with the highest payouts for clusters of 15+ symbols. The low pays have the same value, with 15+ clusters awarding 15x the bet, while the premiums award 150x, 300x, and 600x the bet, respectively.

Ghost Glyph - Bonus Features

Ghost Glyph has many features. The goal was to create an entertaining game with a story based on player interaction.

One key feature is the Tumble Mechanics. Winning clusters disappear, allowing new symbols to fall and fill the empty spaces. This can trigger a chain of consecutive wins and connects to other features.

After a winning cluster, a Ghost Glyph symbol appears and continues to appear after each cascade. This triggers the Ghost Urns feature. It acts as a Wild and collecting it fills one of 5 urns displayed above the reels, randomly determined each spin, with the last one always blue.

There are 4 Ghost Urns, each corresponding to a ghost: yellow, red, green, and blue. Filled urns activate after each non-winning cascade to help form new winning clusters. Each urn awards a bonus:

? Yellow - spreads Wild symbols across the grid. From 4 to 10 Wild symbols will be added to random positions.

? Red - removes low-paying symbols. One low-paying symbol is removed from the grid.

? Green - transforms low-paying symbols. One low-paying symbol turns all instances into another low-paying symbol.

? Blue - gives access to the bonus game. Unlocks the Free Spins game or awards 3 additional spins if already in the bonus game.

Activating the 5th urn starts the Free Spins with 8 spins. New urns appear during the bonus game, and a Paranormality Meter appears on the opposite side of the reels. Filling the meter requires 8 tumbles, leveling it up and unlocking a Massive Wild feature awarded on the final free spin.

The feature has 22 levels. If the meter reaches less than level 3, the Massive Wilds disappear after winning combinations. The Wilds are 2x2 in size at level one or 3x3 for higher levels. At level 3 or higher, they move across the grid after each tumble and do not disappear.

The 200 Spins Experience

The ghost action was appealing so we decided to try it. We're sharing our subjective opinion based on our experience, not statistics.

We tested before the game's release, opting for 1$ per spin. We started with non-winning spins, taking about 20 spins to get the first decent win of over 15x the bet, which didn't trigger Free Spins. It was a struggle to trigger the blue urn, often stopping after the 3rd or 4th urn. Smaller wins helped us save our bankroll. Free Spins finally came around the 180th spin, saving the day. The first spin awarded 3 Free Spins and a win of over 20x the bet, with Colossal Wilds leading to a 77.5x Mega Win.

The total win during the bonus round was 112.25x the bet, but the surplus was only 25 bucks. The base game wasn't as fruitful, but the ghosts kept it interesting.

Ghost Glyph might be perfect for those appreciating interesting gameplay with authentic features. Hopefully, you'll be luckier and get big wins.

Ghost Glyph - Verdict

This game delivers great entertainment. All aspects are top-notch, with exceptional graphics and features, but the potential is only 2,260x the bet. If potential isn't your main concern, you'll love it.

The visuals are amazing and charming. The animations and soundtrack immerse you from the start.

The features are the main draw. The urn modifiers are interesting and lucrative. Paired with Cluster Pays and Tumbling mechanics, it's entertaining. With a 33% hit frequency and moderate feature hit rate, the base game isn't boring as bonuses appear often.

Ghost Glyph is a decent choice for Halloween and beyond, with the potential to be a hit.
