Almost everyone has already played Blood Suckers at some point, and I play it regularly myself so let’s go over this legendary slot and see what’s so good about it. The slot game was released back in 2009 and has been a firm player favorite ever since, and a staple of all NetEnt powered online casinos. This is just a must-have title for all casinos as it’s one of most-played slots. Things about Blood Suckers that stand out are the good payout, good theme and playability. Theoretical return to player (RTP) is 98.00%, which is really high and rarely seen in slots, so even casual players won’t lose money with this slot, at least not too much as the game is very fair to players. The theme is a particular highlight, there’s nothing like playing a vampire slot. The game is easy to play as it has medium variance, and it’s just an overall very good experience. That’s why so many players come back to Blood Suckers often, including myself. When other games disappoint, this is the title to come back to. Main game and paytable There are a total of eight normal symbols in the game and all have artwork that contributes to the theme. Thelower-paying symbols are Garlic, Crossbow, Bible, Holy Water - the things you need to battle vampires. The main cast of four characters is the Female Vampire and the three Male Vampires. There’s a paying Wild and two Scatters. Graphics and animations of all symbols are excellent. The paytable progresses nicely from the lowest to the highest prize, and the lowest symbol pays 75 coins for five-of-a-kind while the best one pays 500, and two more pay 250. There is that one vampire which pays much better than any other symbol, but it’s still not one of those very powerful symbols that bring riches. The game plays like a classic slot game and it’s the two Scatters that are responsible for all the fun as they trigger the two bonus features. The main game doesn’t pay that often despite 25 paylines, and it’s difficult to land a win in this slot game. But it will be a good one whenever it comes; this game doesn’t bore you with wins that are meaningless or smaller than your bet. Bonus features When you land three Free Spins Scatters you’ll trigger the free spins game, and this happens very infrequently. You’ll get 10, 20 or 30 free spins for three, four or five Scatters respectively. During the free spins feature, all prizes are tripled. The free spins game isn’t that rewarding or fun, as the game itself doesn’t pay often so there is little chance of landing a big win even though they are tripled, and the free spins game doesn’t feel any different than the main game. Fortunately, there’s another bonus feature in Blood Suckers. When you land three Bonus Scatters on a winning payline - meaning it isn’t a true Scatter - you’ll trigger the bonus game in which you’re opening vampire coffins in order to kill them with a wooden stake. You’ll get to open coffins and claim prizes for the kills until you open an empty coffin, which ends the game. Conclusion Blood Suckers is a true classic and a slot game many come back to on a regular basis. It’s a fun slot that is played by casual players as it offers medium variance and a pleasant experience, yet the game pays very well. Blood Suckers found a perfect balance between theoretical payout, frequency of wins and quality of wins, and that’s why it feels so natural to spin the Blood Suckers reels and wait for that game where you get to kill vampires. The free spins feature is a disappointment, and so is the paytable that lacks the punch of that one powerful symbol, but still this is one excellent slot game by NetEnt and a title that brought fame to this Swedish developer.
