Play Ghostlight Manor for Free

My first impression of the Ghostlight Manor slot machine is that’s it’s a game for fans of spooky horror with an eerie, Victorian twist. Intricately detailed high card symbols, a staring doll, mounted head of a deer, and a wind-up box feature on the 5x5 grid. A genuinely scary ghost woman who would suit any movie in the Conjuring series, a creepy clown, and one of those monkey toys with an accordion also feature here. I like a good scare, so it’s a great choice for my taste, but won’t suit everyone.

The hallway and stairs of the manor house, covered in cobwebs has the same exceptional level of detail seen across the game. It’s part of the Playnetic range that I’ve enjoyed at some of the best casinos online. 

When I played the Ghostlight Manor slot, it soon became clear that stacked wilds hold the key to extra base game wins. While coins can also pay high prizes at any time, I found that they don’t turn up that often. It’s in the choice of free spins or respins where I found the greatest rewards. It’s a game for anyone who enjoys high volatility, where wins can be relatively few and far between, but once they hit, prizes can be high compared to lower volatility slots.

Bet options start at just 0.1 credits, topping out at 100.00, which covers most bankrolls. Once I checked out the demo version at VegasSlotsOnline, I played at a real money online casino to see how the gameplay and features work in practice.

• Lights - A gemstone sits above each reel, lighting up at random times. If a ghost wild symbol lands on a lit reel, it expands to fill all five rows, which helped me to complete winning combinations as wilds substitute for others. Expanded wilds hold two multipliers from a range of 2x to 100x. If the ghost holds a toy clown, any prize gets a lower value multiplier, and if she has the monkey in her grasp, a high value multiplier then applies to your win. It’s an innovative feature that I think helps the Ghostlight Manor slot machine stand out.

• Coins - Decorative coins hold values of 5x to 1,000x the bet and they pay their prizes right away. If coins land on wild reels, their multipliers combine. It’s a simple feature, but I only saw lower value coins and only on rare occasions, which is a downside of this game. The upshot is, don’t rely on coins to boost your bankroll.

• Haunted Free Spins - Key scatter symbols in any three places offer a choice of Haunted free spins or Cursed Treasure respins. After waiting a while for enough keys, I took the plunge and bought into the Haunted feature for 100 credits upfront. During this Ghostlight Manor online slot bonus feature, extra coins and expanding wilds hit over the 10 spins. Red lights can now feature, locking expanded wilds in place for the rest of the round and I was lucky enough to get one of these early on.

• Cursed Treasure Respins - Take this option and the grid changes to 3x3 size with only 1x multiplier coins or blanks appearing for an initial three respins. All sides of the game hold 2x, 3x, and 4x multipliers that apply to coins as they lock in place and fill rows or columns. The grid then expands in the direction of the multiplier, to a potential maximum of 6x6. Lives refill on full columns or rows and respins run until there are three in a sequence with just blanks, or coins fill the 6x6 grid. You then collect all combined values in view. I thought Cursed Respins were even more rewarding than the free spins, but that’s just my experience and there’s no advantage to one feature over the other.

Here’s a list of how many credits symbols pay when matched across any of the 15 paylines running from the left of the 5x5 grid -

Keys pay in any places, with four or five worth 50x and a huge 500x respectively.

• I loved the fabulous graphics, that captured the whole haunted house vibe in a suitably scary style.

• The chance of features on any spin certainly kept me engaged throughout my session.

• It’s good to have a choice of free spins or respins, and each round has something to make it stand out from other games.

If the spine-chilling style is to your taste, be sure to try similar games such as the House of Doom slot from Play’n GO and the Demon Gems slot by Inspired Gaming. Both offer real shocks matched to multiple features.

If you like eerie horror films, console games, or creepy tales, then be sure to play this game as I rate it as one of the best online slots of the genre. It looks fantastic, but in my experience, the high volatility led to fairly long runs of losing spins, so don’t bet a large percentage of your bankroll at once. Spread it out and you have a better chance to hit coin prizes, expanded wilds, or a pick of bonus rounds.

Try the demo version here, then explore the Ghostlight Manor slot if you dare, at the best casinos, where it comes om desktop and mobile versions to suit your preference.
