The larger than usual five reels means that the slot has more win lines than found at the majority of Blueprint slots – this game having a total of 40. Setup and Play for Casper’s Mystery Mirror The four ghost characters on the reels are drawn in a cartoon style and feature some nice animation when gaining a win – these being joined by the playing card symbols from 9 to Ace, all of these in suitably dark colouring.
The reels are set against the backdrop of a forest at night and the soundtrack has something of a horror movie air about it – the piano music building up the atmosphere. The Mystery Mirror comes into play during the free spins round.Īs you might expect at a slot featuring a series of ghosts, the game has a slightly spooky air. The slot has a slightly different look to many this due to each of the five reels showing four symbols as opposed to the usual three. Now Casper finally has his own slot, this developed by Blueprint, which sees Casper himself appear as the wild at the slot, this slot based upon the movie depiction of the character. He would eventually make it to the big screen in 1995, a live action movie, where Casper and his wicked uncles (Stinkie, Fatso and Stretch) would be computer animated. He was also something of an outcast with fellow ghosts, not conforming to the usual ghost persona – these ideas making the books and comics particularly popular. Casper is a friendly ghost, who instead of haunting people would much rather make friends with them, although being a ghost he would never find it particularly easy.
Casper was first seen in children’s books in the 1930’s and later as part of cartoons and an animated series.
