LAS VEGAS (August 14, 2025) – Today, King Features Syndicate, a unit of Hearst, and Aristocrat Gaming announced that the iconic comic book crimefighter, The Phantom, has returned to casino floors in an all-new slot game. Featured on the latest hardware, The Baron Upright™, this game includes dynamic graphics, sounds, bonuses, and all the action from the original comics, telling the legend of “The Ghost Who Walks.”
“We are thrilled to once again introduce The Phantom to casino players with a game that is packed with excitement and adventure, on the latest hardware, The Baron,” said Kurt Gissane, Chief Revenue Officer at Aristocrat Gaming. “The Phantom has a legion of fans spanning across the world, and we’re excited for them to experience this new iteration of the brand, while also introducing unfamiliar players to comics’ first costumed hero.”
Fans of slot games and The Phantom alike will find plenty to be entertained by in this new release, including epic character integrations, popular mechanics like bonus meters and feature triggers, as well as the chance at free games and Hold & Spin features. The Phantom slot game also offers players the chance to win a grand progressive jackpot that starts at $10,000.
“Teaming up with Aristocrat Gaming on this launch let us reimagine how a brand like The Phantom comes to life in the casino space,” said Jolie Roberts, Vice President of Domestic Licensing at King Features. “With The Phantom front and center, we’re proud to celebrate the legacy of The Ghost Who Walks and give fans a bold new way to connect with the brand through visually striking gameplay.”
This announcement comes during a dynamic period of growth for The Phantom franchise. Earlier this year, the brand launched its original video game, The Phantom, from Art of Play Interactive, and a new comic series from Mad Cave Studios is set to debut this September. This slot game marks a key milestone in the brand’s broader momentum as it gears up to introduce fresh fan touchpoints in celebration of its 90th anniversary next year.
The Phantom joins the star-studded game portfolio on The Baron Upright, including Bao Zhu Zhao Fu Ignite™ Blue Prosperity and Red Prosperity, Lucky Looters™ Leprechaun and Devil, and Buffalo Gold Cash Collection™, which are now available For Sale.
