Verdict
Great Ghosts!
is a Halloween slot built around a single idea, and the execution is more interesting than the theme suggests. The 96.5% RTP is a shade above average at its top setting, but high volatility means long stretches of nothing while the maths waits on the respin round. Play it if you want a money-feature slot with a twist and a free way to see how the grid behaves when it grows. Skip it if you want a busy base game, since the spins between features are deliberately quiet.

How it plays
The grid is five reels wide, and the row count moves between four and eight depending on where you are in the game, across 50 paylines. In the base game the reels carry card ranks and a cast of cartoon residents of a haunted house, all set in purple and blue tones against a dark mansion backdrop. The feature is the Triple Ghost Respins. Money symbols land on the grid carrying individual cash values, and the respin mechanic is what makes this different from the standard hold-and-win template: rather than simply locking positions and respinning, the round interacts with the grid's row height, so the playfield can grow as the feature develops and more positions become available to fill. Money symbols pay their own values rather than forming combinations, which means the base game contributes little and the round carries everything. Three coloured orbs sit above the reels as feature indicators, and an Ante Bet option is offered to raise the chance of reaching the respin round. Bets run from 0.20 to 240.00 per spin, which is a wide range for a 2026 release. Pragmatic Play has not published a hit frequency for this title.
Bonus features

Who it's for
Made for players who have seen a hundred hold-and-win games and want to know whether this one does anything different. The growing grid is a genuine answer to that question, and the demo is the only cheap way to find out. It also suits anyone who wants to test a wide bet range against a high-volatility maths model without spending anything. Not for anyone who wants a rich base game, or anyone who finds cartoon haunted-house art tiresome after a few minutes.
