Time to head into the spooky Ghostly Towers mobile slot; but don’t worry. There are hauntingly good wins here if you can wait for Pierre to show up.
You have to play this mobile slot game in portrait mode, though mostly this is for drama than for any real use. That’s because you get to see two massive staircases rolling down onto small 5×3 reels with 40 paylines.
At first, we thought it was a shame because you need to see the reels and all the spooky symbols to get that drama on the reels right? Especially when everything here is so dark in tones – not unlike the North Storm slot.
And then the Pierre showed up in a dazzling display of Blue, Red and Green and that’s all the colours you’ll need.
From the portrait on the top of the stairs Pierre the Ghost may pop up his head and float down to the reels. Depending on which one shows up, you may get any of the following:
The best one is, of course, the multipliers – though getting any multipliers over 7x is pretty rare unless of course, the wins don’t happen. But hey, it’s bigger multipliers than in games like the Gonzo’s Quest phone slot.
Usually, the bonus game in video slots is the most exciting feature, but honestly, it can be a little difficult to love. Why? Because you only get 5 Ghostly Towers free spins. Which isn’t much.
You do get gems before you start, and when you collect 5 gems of the different ghost colours, you will trigger 5 free spins with that feature on each and every spin. Which is fun. But when most of the time you get 3 scatters only, 6 random gems rarely gets you over the line to trigger this bonus.
In short, we got frustrated and annoyed before we realised that all this bonus was doing is giving us the same features they were giving us in the base game. And it’s not like Pierre didn’t show up often enough.
Perhaps this Ghostly Towers online slot would have had a little more jazz if the bonus games could have given us more, or been freer with the features. Still, you can’t deny, that for the base game alone, we’d be happy to play Novomatic slots like these.

Pierre the Ghost: During any spin, the ghost Pierre may show up and do any of the following:
Scatters and Free Spins: You always trigger 5 free spins, regardless of how many free spins scatter symbols show up. But, you may start your jackpot board with more gems.
Collect 5 matching symbols to get 5 extra spins with one of the five features above triggering on each of the 5 spins.
It feels like Pierre is on your side here as he pops in and out of his tower to give you wilds, multiplier and even a few avalanching spins. It's a well-crafted Undead slot game.
We can't give it more than 3 stars because there's not enough momentum in the Ghostly Towers slot free spin bonus to give this game the energy it needs to make it playable for more than 100 spins.
But it is fun, thanks to the three features that come often and give you surprises and wins that will give you a hauntingly good time.
Ghostly Towers is a 20 paylines 5x3 reel slot machine with random wilds, multipliers, shuffle symbols and scatters that trigger 5 free spins.
