Ghostbusters Plus Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Ghostbusters Plus slot is played with 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 fixed paylines. Winning combinations are simply formed when you see 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols across any of the 20 paylines, beginning from the first reel.

Playable from 25p to £750 per spin, the max bet will vary at different slot sites. There’s a Total Bet box below the reels. Click on the plus and minus buttons to change accordingly. Like with other IGT slot games, there’s a simple Auto Spins function where up to 50 autospins can be chosen. Auto Spins will stop when the max win is won, a feature is triggered or the single win limit is reached.

The Ghostbusters Plus RTP is up to 98%. Beginning at 93.99%, you can level up which sees the RTP rise up to 98% for level 9 and higher (more details below).

The variance is in the middle (medium) which means it’s nicely balanced. That said, the max win is 25,000 x your total stake per free spin. This can be achieved with the potential 25x multiplier in the feature.

Theme – zap ghosts with this official slot

The Ghostbusters Plus slot game is based on the 1984 fantasy/comedy film which is about a team of scientists who device to battle ghosts for money. Set in a New York City street at night, you will see characters from the actual movie. The soundtrack is eerie which adds to the excitement.

Symbols include A, K, Q and J playing cards as well as the 4 Ghostbusters. You’ll see Peter Venkman (played by Bill Murray), Raymond Stantz (played by Dan Aykroyd), Egon Spengler (played by Harold Ramis) and Walter Peck (played by William Atherton). Peter Venkman is the most rewarding of the standard symbols giving you 2, 8 or 20 x stake for 3, 4 or 5 in combination.

There’s also a Ghostbusters logo wild which performs all the usual substituting duties. 3, 4 or 5 on a payline will reward you with 4, 20 or 40 x your total stake. There are various other symbols including a Bonus scatter (more details below).

Ghostbusters Plus Mobile

Despite the film being an 80s cult favourite, Ghostbusters Plus has been created by developer IGT using HTML5 technology. This means it’s available to play on all devices including mobiles, tablets and desktops. The 5×3 layout works well on handheld smartphones too.

Ghostbusters Plus Bonus features

When it comes to extras, Ghostbusters Plus has plenty. With 5 bonus features, it focuses on the Level Up Plus feature which increases the RTP up to 98% and brings lots of different extras into play. There’s also free spins with multipliers up to 25x.

Ghost Battle feature

First up is the Ghost Battle feature that is triggered when 1 of the ghost symbols appears on the middle reel. You then tap the ghost to zap it. Each ghost will take up to 3 zaps before it retreats.

Each zap adds a Ghost Wild symbol into the Ghost Queue. Any ghost that has 0 health will be captured with you benefitting from a Level Up. The leftmost Ghost Wild in the queue is awarded and then removed from the queue. The Ghost Queue can hold up to 20 Ghost Wilds.

More importantly, there are 3 types of Ghost Wilds: Multiplier Ghost Wilds, Expanding Ghost Wilds and Extra Ghost Wilds. Each type has 4 variants with 3 available in the base game (the 4^th is available in the Zuul Free Spins Bonus feature).

You can unlock Ghost Wilds by levelling up with only Multiplier Ghost Wilds on offer at level 1. All wilds will be placed to give you the best possible win:

Equipment feature

Ghostbusters Plus comes with an Equipment feature. This is triggered randomly in the base game. At level 1, only the Proton Pack is unlocked. Here’s what the various extras offer:

Level Up Plus feature

The Ghostbusters Plus slot is all about the Level Up feature really. The higher the level you reach, the bigger rewards on offer. You can do this by capturing ghosts in the Ghost Battles. You will see the current ghost’s health bar to the top left of the screen. With the RTP increasing with each level, here’s what to expect:

The Tobin’s Spirit Guide feature is unlocked once you reach level 10. This allows you to choose the ghost that appears during the Ghost Battle feature.

Zuul Free Spins Bonus feature

The Zuul Free Spins feature is played when you get 3 Bonus scatter symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 in the base game.  You zap Zuul 5 times to give you 5 free spins and a Ghost Wild for each. You can also retrigger by getting 3 scatters to give you 2 more free spins with 2 more Ghost Wilds.

There’s up to 25 free spins up for grabs in total. More importantly, all Ghost Wilds are in play but they are much higher value:

Ghostbusters Plus Review Summary – lots of ghost-zapping action with big wins possible

The Ghostbusters Plus slot has a lot to offer when it comes to gameplay. Key to big wins are the Ghost Wilds which give you plenty of extras from the Ghost Battle feature. The more levels you work your way up, the more lucrative the potential payouts.

Saying that, the 25,000 x stake max wins will come in the Zuul Free Spins Bonus feature. This is because a 25x multiplier is possible. Filling the reels with wilds will result in a 1,000 x stake win Add in the 25x multiplier and that could lead to a 25,000 x stake payouts on each free spin.

Ghostbusters Plus isn’t as complicated as it reads. I would recommend you try it in demo mode (above). Overall, it’s a decent slot with lots of extras and big win potential.
