Base-game payout table and units
All 40 lines are fixed. Wins run left to right, with only the highest win paid on each line. The help screen says to multiply these awards by the bet per line, not the whole spin stake. These figures replace the previous review’s currency-scaled values.
| Symbol | Three | Four | Five |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heart candies | 5x | 10x | 40x |
| Liquorice sweets | 5x | 10x | 50x |
| Wine gums | 10x | 15x | 60x |
| Wrapped chocolate | 10x | 20x | 70x |
| Chocolate coins | 15x | 25x | 80x |
| Blue ghost | 20x | 40x | 100x |
| Green ghost | 25x | 50x | 150x |
| Orange ghost | 30x | 60x | 200x |
| Red ghost | 40x | 80x | 300x |
| Game-logo wild | 60x | 200x | 1000x |
Example: a 2.00-credit total stake across 40 lines gives a 0.05-credit line bet. Five red ghosts on one line pay 300 x 0.05 = 15.00 credits. If this is the only award, subtracting the 2.00-credit stake leaves a net gain of 13.00 credits. Five logo wilds on one line pay 1,000 x 0.05 = 50.00 credits, or 25 times this total stake. These are single-line awards, not the maximum possible total spin win.
Ghost collection and free spins
The game logo substitutes for other symbols. The original help describes stacked wilds on all reels in the base game and super-stacked wilds on reels four and five during free spins.
The ghost-catching character on reel three can zap one ghost per reel. Captured ghosts enter the Ghost Meter and add to the free-spins starting win. Collecting ten ghosts triggers free spins; up to thirteen spins can be awarded, with the number of collected ghosts determining the number of spins.
Free spins change the game to 1,024 ways. The help specifies left-to-right adjacent-symbol combinations and only the highest winning combination per symbol combination. Each free spin uses the bet size of its corresponding collected ghost. Way awards use the base-game line bet and the number of winning combinations. The help explicitly says free spins are played in credits only: do not assume every collected ghost uses the most recent stake or multiply the table directly by the total cash stake.
Edition limits
The screenshots establish these rules, but not a universal current minimum stake, maximum stake or RTP. The earlier review’s exact currency limits and return figure are not carried forward as current facts. Check the actual edition’s help for its denomination, configured limits and return information. A displayed coin ceiling is not a cash amount.
Frequently asked questions
Is this the three-reel Peek-a-Boo?
No. This review covers the five-reel, four-row edition. The classic game has different paylines and prizes.
Can I switch off paylines?
The photographed base-game rules specify 40 fixed lines. Adjust the stake using the controls offered by the edition you are playing.
Are the table awards multiples of the total stake?
No. They are base-game line-bet multiples. Divide the total stake by 40 before applying a listed line award.
How do free spins start?
Collect at least ten ghosts in the Ghost Meter. The photographed instructions allow up to thirteen spins, depending on the collected-ghost count.
Do free spins use 40 lines?
No. They use 1,024 ways and the corresponding collected ghost’s bet size, as explained in the original help screen.
Evidence: original game captures preserved on Games and Casino’s Peek-a-Boo 5 Reels page. The payout table and feature explanations were visually checked against those captures; current availability is not inferred from the listing.
