Vampires are a classic horror theme, and horror-based slot games abound. It is only logical that Endorphina would also create horror games, and The Vampires is an invitation to get to know the famous nocturnal creatures better.
Those with a weak heart should think twice before entering the universe of vampires! Or at least do not forget your garlic and crucifixes, because you will need all of them if you want to hit the jackpot. Let’s take a closer look at the best ways to tame the vampires and steal their treasure on your way out.
You would probably not expect the bloodthirsty creatures to live in an ordinary house, and you would be right. The game takes place in an old crypt on a full moon night.
The moonlit crypt is full of macabre details such as faceless statues and human skulls, along with a colony of bats that fly in ominously from the lonely window.
The music is subtle and eerie, the perfect accompaniment for a horror movie. Watch out for the extra creepy sound effects after each victory, they might scare you at first. Overall, the developers have done a great job with the setting.
Before venturing into the lair of the monsters, a good hunter must make sure that he or she is fully prepared for what lurks in the dark.
Therefore, use the coin icon in the top left corner to set your preferred coin value (between 0.01 and 5 credits per coin). There are 25 paylines in The Vampires, spread across five reels. That is a lot of potential ways to win, but it is ultimately up to you to decide how many paylines you want to bet on – use the side tabs to do so. The up and down arrows at the bottom of the screen are there to let you adjust the amount of your bet before you hit the spin button and hope for the best. Combinations of symbols on an active payline will trigger a corresponding cash prize, and you can even click the Take Risk button to play a simple guessing game against the computer and try to double your winnings. Pick a card with a higher value than the computer and you will be twice as rich as before! Be careful, though, because a single mistake will wipe out your entire stash.
Finally, you can use the Auto feature to let the game take over and bet on several spins in a row, the perfect way to enjoy a continuous and exciting game.
Let’s take a closer look at The Vampires’ terrifyingly rewarding payout table. There are eight different basic symbols. We start with some Holy Water, a Revolver (probably loaded with silver bullets), a Stake and a Hammer, followed by a heavy looking Bible. The perfect basic weapons for any vampire hunter, you would be a fool not to keep an eye out for them as you play.
The last four basic symbols are the vampires themselves, starting with a brunette, a blonde and a redhead. Do not be fooled by their appearance, they are dangerous creatures! Dracula tops off the menu with a 500x reward for a five of a kind combination.
We have three more icons to check out, and they all come with a little something extra. The first of these is the Bat, which acts as the game’s Joker. This simply means that the Bat can substitute for any of the basic symbols to help you create even more winning combinations as you play.
The second special symbol is the Scatter, which represents a vampire biting an innocent young woman. Three or more Scatters anywhere on the reels trigger ten Free Spins, during which all wins are automatically tripled.
Finally, the cup of blood acts as an additional bonus symbol. Line up three or more of them on an active payline to trigger a mini-game in which you must wake up as many vampires in the graveyard as possible, collecting extra rewards along the way.
The Vampires is a slot game filled with fun and classic horror elements that will delight any fan of the genre. The rewards are decent and you will have plenty of opportunities to trigger some extra Free Spins during the game, which is always appreciated. A bonus game is always welcome, but in The Vampires it may not be as rewarding as in other games, but it is still a lot of fun.
