Blood Suckers Megaways

Review Blood Suckers Megaways

Also impressive, when you consider what Red Tiger Gaming usually puts out there when it comes to the RTP, is the 97.66% RTP this game comes with. This is awfully close to the classic 98% you get in the 2013  game, and now you’ve got an excellent 20,521x potential to trigger as well. The base game awards 4 random modifiers, and you will need to pick from 4 modifiers before the bonus round gets relevant. Players who loved the original title will not be disappointed, and we expect this part to welcome plenty of newbies as well.

How to Play

Playing Blood Suckers Megaways is fairly easy. Pressing the yellow button with two dark cursors on the right, will start to play a single round in the Blood Suckers Megaways pokie.

• You can see the 6 reels with up to 7 rows of this release spin a few times before revealing new icons. If the spins seem slow to you, then make use of the fast-forward sign as this will speed up the game.
• The auto button on the left will lead you to the auto-play feature which comes with up to 100 auto-spins and gives users the opportunity to set various limits too.
• With the Stake icon, you can change your current bet. There are 7 betting limits, set at $0.2 to $4 per spin.
• There are two options to check the paytable and game rules. Both the pay and help signs in the lower-left part of the screen can be used to do so.
• In addition, you can also press the triple lines diagonally. Lastly, the square will make you adjust the screen size, whilst the speaker symbol will regulate the sound.

Symbol Wins

On the reels of the game, you will see garlic, crossbows, daggers, holy bibles and holy water as the low values. The high values are displayed by a female vampire, Succubus (the female demon), Nosferatu, an aristocrat and Vlad the Impaler (a 15th-century warlord). Vlad is also the most valuable symbol with 0.8, 1.2, 1.7 or 3x the total stake awarded for combos of 3, 4, 5 or 6. Those familiar with the original pokie game will enjoy that the symbols are almost the same as in the 2013 pokie. Furthermore, the Blood Suckers Megaways pokie comes with different wild symbols. You have the Animated Vampire Bite Wild as well 2 different Super Wilds. As expected, wilds substitutes for pay symbols. There is a Vampire Bride scatter symbol with +3 activating the free spins.

Bonus Features

The Blood Suckers Megaways pokie comes with a whopping total of 7 bonus features. This includes chain reactions/cascades and 4 base game features which randomly award Super Wild reels with multipliers up to 7x, multipliers up to 5x, random wilds, and extra scatters. Then there is also the Free Spins feature. Here is what the features do:

Chain Reaction Feature (Avalanche/Cascade)

When a winning combo is created by landing 3+ matching symbols on successive reels beginning from reel 1), the Chain Reaction feature will help you form better combinations. In this case, winning symbols will disappear to make way for new symbols that can form new wins. This continues until no more new wins are created.

Random Base Game Features

Coffins can randomly appear on any base game spin. Make sure to open the heavy, skull-engraved stone top of the coffin as this reveals a sleeping vampire who is enveloped in red velvet cushions. If you manage to kill the vampire inside the coffin, you will activate the respective bonus feature which we’ll dive into below:

• Random Wilds feature: between 2 and 10 random wilds will land on the reels 2, 3, 4 and/or 5. These wilds substitute for all other symbols in the game.
• Bonus Scatters feature: 2, 3 or 4 Vampire Bride Scatters are added to the reels of the game which will increase your chances of activating the Free Spins feature.
• Super Wilds feature: up to 2 Super Wilds can land on reels 2, 3, 4 and/or 5. Super Wilds are wild reels and come with multipliers, somewhere between 2x and 7x.
• Wins Multiplier feature: a random multiplier of 2x, 3x or 5x is applied to all wins in the spin. This feature can only be activated on a non-winning base game spin. When this happens, the multiplier will reset for the next spin.

Free Spins Feature

The Free Spins feature is triggered by landing 3+ Vampire Bride Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. With 5 free spins awarded, each scatter gives you one pick in the picker before the free spins begin. As a rule of thumb: 3, 4 or 5 scatters will therefore reward you with 3, 4 or 5 picks respectively which should be easy to remember. Once you’ve found your way to the picker, you’ll come across 10 closed coffins. When you pick a coffin and the vampire inside is slain, a random feature is activated for the rest of the free spins.

Buy Bonus Feature

Available to New Zealanders, there is also a Bonus Buy feature. With 4 options available in total, you can buy a coffin for a random base game feature or entry to the Free Spins feature with 3, 4 or 5 coffin picks. Conveniently, the RTP rises to 97.73% when you make use of the bonus buy feature. Here is what you can choose from:

Payout Metrics

Summary

From a graphical point of view, Blood Suckers Megaways pays tribute to the Blood Suckers pokie but with better graphics and a marvellous soundtrack, especially notable during the free spins. Graphically, it’s more Blood Suckers than its part II. As for the overall gameplay, we very much like that there are 4 randomly activated base game features awarding random wilds, extra scatters, super wild reels with multipliers and multipliers up to 5x. These features come into play in the free spins feature. The free spins feature is one of the in total 7 features waiting to be triggered in the Megaways edition.
