Slot Summary

Tracking the Ghost Ship Wild as it crosses the reels is the decisive act in Phantom Tides, because its position governs how long Cursed Tide Respins continue and how far the multiplier rises. Realistic Games pairs that moving feature with a 96.1% RTP, expanding wild behavior, and a fixed-jackpot wheel, giving the ghost-pirate theme a clear mechanical center rather than treating it as decoration.

How It Plays

Regular wins use 20 fixed paylines, while an Expanding Symbol can fill its reel whenever that expansion creates or improves a winning combination.

Once the Ghost Ship Wild appears, play shifts into Respins. The ship moves left, and Spirit Surge can push it back to prolong the sequence.

Theme & Atmosphere

Ghost and Pirate themes meet through an undead captain and a spectral ship, making the Sea setting part of the central moving-wild mechanic.

Treasure is represented through collected Spirit Coins and Fixed Jackpots, so the hunt for riches has a defined place outside ordinary payline wins.

Features & Win Potential

Expanding Symbols support the base game by covering full reels when useful, while Stack behavior lets the Ghost Ship Wild occupy a larger vertical position.

Respins carry the main Multiplier growth, and Spirit Surge can alter the wild’s route before the Bonus Wheel handles the Fixed Jackpots separately.

Bonus & Free Spins

The Bonus Wheel follows the collection of Spirit Coins and awards one of the Fixed Jackpots, keeping that prize route separate from the traveling-wild Respins.

How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (Medium). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (96.10%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (2,000×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
