Ghost in the Shell from 888: Slot Review - defeat the baddies in New Port City!

Visit New Port City where humans and cyborgs live together in a society filled with crime and corruption.

This slot is based on the extremely popular Ghost in the Shell franchise. It’s a famous Japanese graphic novel that spawned a whole series of movies, TV shows and video games. If you are not a fan of Japanese anime or manga then don’t worry as the new Hollywood movie version starring Scarlett Johansson is going to introduce this series to a whole new generation.

Ghost in the Shell is set in a cyberpunk future where humans can become cyborgs and get hacked through their cyberbrains and it follows the main character Motoko Kusanagi as she battles other cyborgs and corrupt officials in New Port City.

It’s a 5 reel slot game with 9 paylines and features include Wild multipliers and a Pick Me option.

Special Features

The first thing to highlight is the Wild symbol and this is depicted by the word Wild with a gold frame around it. It substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter symbol which is illustrated by the word Scatter with a purple background. There is also a second Wild symbol and this is quite similar to the main Wild symbol but it has a red frame surrounding it. This Wild symbol awards a 3X multiplier when it completes a winning combination on a payline.

If the Motoko or Batou symbols appear on the centre of reels 1 and 5 at the same time then the Pick-Me feature is triggered. This feature involves picking symbols. If you choose the correct symbol then your bet can be multiplied between 3X up to 40X. However, if you choose incorrectly then the game will end and you will be taken back to the base game.

If you land 3 or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels then you will activate the Free Spins bonus game. The more Scatter symbols you land, the more free spins you will get. For example, if you land 3 then you will be given 10 Free Spins but if you manage to land 5 then you will be given 30 Free Spins.

The last feature to mention is the Jackpot. This is awarded randomly you don’t even have to match some symbols in order to win it. The bet size you place determines your chances of winning this Jackpot.

Theme, Graphics and Sound

The game is a fantastic rendition of the Ghost in the Shell series. I really enjoyed the anime myself and I noticed right away that the whole slot layout is completely based on the anime. It is a nice touch and one that fans will enjoy.

The symbols spark and animate nicely when you land a winning combination on the reels.

The music is full of techno and big beats and is very reminiscent of the Ghost in the Shell anime movies.

Win lines, Payouts and Jackpots

The game has 9 paylines, an RTP ranging between 94% and 95%, a top maximum payout of 3,000X your bet, and a progressive jackpot.
