Ghostbuster pokie by KaGaming for free

In 2020 KA Gaming released the Ghostbuster pokie, which has absolutely nothing in common with the familiar American (action/fantasy/comedy) production from the 1980s. Although also supernatural in character the story behind the pokie is based on the Zhong Kui personage from Chinese mythology. He is considered a ghost Vanquisher, so that could’ve been a much better name for the game (instantly dissimilar from the aforementioned movie).

Regardless of the title, much like other notable celebrations in China, there is a Ghost Day, a Ghost Festival (somewhere in august) and even a Ghost Month, during which the spirits of the deceased supposedly visit their living ancestors.

Zhong Kui - ghost himself (usually depicted as a huge man with a big beard and a red mantle, waving a magic sword), is said to capture smaller evil spirits and demons, especially when carrying out terrible menaces. In Chinese culture, the Vanquisher is often associated with the 5 bats of fortune (or 5 blessings/elements of life) - wealth, health, love, longevity and serene death. The 5 bats fly vigorously in the video game when you collect enough Scatters to activate the Bonus round.

The Taiwanese Studio had created one highly entertaining machine with beautiful design and gripping features. The betting range is as usual for this producer very extended (up to 125 AUD), and other familiar details are the standard 5x3 playing field and 25 paylines. As is often the case with KA Gaming products, there is no specific technical data available online, so our BNC team is forced to draw conclusions from only our internal testing.

Here we established a Medium Variance of the winning stream, where any hit can appear with acceptable frequency (of 32%), sufficient RTP of 96.24% and we appraise the paytable as weak, with no Multipliers, resulting in a meagre 500x the total bet maximum pokie’s outlook (in a single spin).

See if KA Gaming’s excellent Ghostbuster pokie can be auspicious for you, either in the free version (here on our page) or the real credits version (at any of our featured casinos).

Bonus Features of Ghostbuster pokie

  • Wilds - Zhong Kui - the Vanquisher himself is the Wild factor in the game. It has no price tag on itself (on the paytable) and can only appear on the central 3 reels. During the base spins, there is a chance that the Wild can expand, while in the Bonus each Wild that drops it always extends to a full reel. Naturally, the Vanquisher substitutes for all the missing icons (apart from Scatters) in the process of creating winning combos.
  • Scatters & Free Spins - The hell doors (composed of bats attracting blessing and flames to burn the evil) are the Scatter symbol. Landing combination of 3/4/5OAK in the main game will pay respectively 50x/10x/5x the total bet and will initiate the Bonus round consisting of (always) 12 initial spins. In the course of the Bonus, when 1/2/3 Wilds drop on the grid will: 1) grant additional 1/3/5 extra spins and 2) will perform upgrading of the high-value (picture) symbols to the next in colour/value ghost. Zhong Kui (Wild) collects the low-paid ghost in his gold devouring sack until no more ghosts and Wilds are present on the reels. Then from all the picture symbols, only gold sacks remain.
