Released in 2009 by Aristocrat Leisure Limited, the Australian gambling machine manufacturer, the Phantom poker game made its debut in Australia and, interestingly, at the Graton Resort and Casino in Rohnert Park, Northern California, USA. Aristocrat, founded in 1953 and listed on the Australian Stock Exchange in 1996, has its headquarters in North Ryde, Sydney, Australia with additional offices in South Africa, Russia, and the United States.

This durable plastic topper houses a circuit board controlling various lighting features, adding to the game’s visual appeal and creating a captivating presence on the gaming floor. It measures 19inch x 14inch x 9inch.

The Phantom pokie features a 5-reel, 25-payline configuration with a minimum bet of 5 credits, making it an accessible option for players of various budgets. The game offers generous prize potential, enhanced by stacked scatter and wild symbols that can significantly multiply winnings. What sets the Phantom apart from traditional pokies is its immersive multimedia experience. The game boasts impressive graphics and sound effects that transport players into the world of the iconic comic book hero, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of console video games. This attention to audiovisual detail is a hallmark of superhero-themed poker machines, elevating the gaming experience beyond simple reel-spinning. The game places significant emphasis on its bonus round features, a common trait in superhero-based pokies. These bonus games offer players additional opportunities for engagement and potential winnings. Crowning the machine is a striking, independently affixed bust of the Phantom, complete with his iconic skull ring.
