Ghostfather – Awakened Resurrects the Chaos With Enhanced Gameplay

Game studio Peter & Sons is unleashing the next chapter in one of its most memorable slot franchises with the release of Ghostfather – Awakened. Available across a wide range of platforms beginning May 22, the follow-up to the beloved Ghostfather promises to ramp up the eerie charm and winning potential with a fresh suite of features, mechanics, and creative design elements.

Set against a backdrop of haunted mansions and ghostly whispers, this 5x3 reel, 20-payline slot retains the original’s quirky style while significantly expanding the gameplay. Players are invited to navigate a haunted world where they can win up to 10,000 times their stake, guided by the restless spirit of Igor Vasilievich and a host of spooky companions.

Expanded Features and Winning Mechanics

True to Peter & Sons' creative DNA, Ghostfather – Awakened is brimming with unique mechanics that enhance every spin. Returning fans will find familiar offbeat humor, but with a slew of new tools to unlock big prizes. Key elements include cash-paying ghost icons, multipliers via Collect Wilds, multiple Free Spins modes, and the dazzling new Ghost Rain event.

The Golden Bet feature lets players amplify their base game experience for an additional 0.5x per spin. When activated, Wilds and ghost symbols begin appearing in the base game. Wilds not only substitute for other symbols but also collect the values of all visible ghosts, applying multipliers to both payline and ghost win amounts.

Free Spins and Booster Mechanics Offer Layered Strategy

Triggering the Free Spins round requires landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols. Depending on the number of Scatters, players enter one of three escalating modes—regular Free Spins, Super Free Spins, or Mega Free Spins—each offering progressively greater potential for Wild activity and ghost value collection. If two Wilds appear during these rounds, ghost prize values are doubled, significantly boosting payout potential.

A Spectral Sequel With Artistic Flair

Ghost Rain, a standout new feature, floods the reels with random ghost symbols when triggered, each of which is immediately collected for potentially massive wins. This high-impact event can turn the tide of any session, especially when combined with multiplier-boosted Wilds.

Evgeny Viitman, Art Director at Peter & Sons, explained the vision behind the sequel: “Ghostfather – Awakened is more than a sequel – it’s a full-blown resurrection of one of our most iconic titles. The original was a fan favorite, but with Awakened, we’ve taken things to a new level. From the hand-crafted visuals to the eerie, cinematic soundtrack, every element has been reimagined to push the boundaries of what a slot game can be. Players aren’t just spinning reels – they’re stepping into a ghost story filled with cool features and quirky characters.”
