LONDON, Dec. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- International Game Technology (NYSE: IGT), a global leader in casino gaming entertainment and systems technology, today announced the online release of Ghostbusters^TM, one of its most popular land-based titles.

Ghostbusters^TM is branded entertainment of the highest calibre, featuring more video clips and more character animations than any other IGT online slot.

Two compelling interactive bonuses, inspired by the original film, allow players to re-live – and cash-in on – iconic moments from the movie.

Based on the unforgettable scene in the haunted Sedgewick Hotel, players will instantly recognise the Ballroom Busters Bonus where the objective is to shoot up the room and capture ghosts. The Stay Puft Free Spins Bonus gives players free spins with lots of marshmallow wilds. These special wilds stick to the reels and promise a sticky good time with larger reels and extra paylines.

Players join Slimer in a world of paranormal payouts. With four base-game mystery features, there is the potential for a surprise feature on any reel spin that does not trigger a bonus.

The Multiplier Gag sees Slimer pull a fast one, randomly assigning a 2x to 5x multiplier to increase all line wins. Slimer's Credits Gag pays a random award. Wild Reels slimes between one and three reels and turns them completely wild. Extra Wilds initially turns between one and four reel positions wild. Reel positions sharing a corner or edge with those wilds may also turn wild.  

"Ghostbusters^TM continues our strategy of utilising the most successful IGT land-based games online," said Leigh Nissim, IGT Commercial Director of Interactive, EMEA. "As well as its proven casino heritage, the game shows a branded slot at its best. Ghostbusters^TM is absolutely packed with exciting features and incredible production, all faithfully based on the film, to ensure that it will appeal to all types of players."
