The Vampires Slots
Vampires are a classic horror theme, and horror-based slot games are plentiful. It is only logical that Endorphina would also create horror games, and The Vampires is an invitation to get better acquainted with the famous nightly creatures.
Those who are faint of heart should think twice before they venture into the universe of the Vampires! Or at least do not forget your garlic and crucifixes, because you certainly will need all of those if you are aiming at the jackpot.
Let’s review in more details what are the best ways of taming The Vampires and stealing their treasure on your way out.
Welcome to the Manor
You would probably not expect the bloodthirsty creatures to live in a regular home, and you would be right. The game takes place in an old crypt, on a night with a full moon.
The moonlight crypt is full of macabre details such as faceless statues and human skulls, along with a colony of bats flying ominously in from of the lonely window.
The music is discreet and eerie, the perfect accompaniment for a horror film. Watch out for the extra creepy sound effects after each win, they might startle you at first. Overall, the developers have done a great job setting up the décor.
Vampire Hunter Checklist
Before venture into the lair of the monsters, a good hunter must make sure that he or she is fully prepare for what is lurking into the dark.
Therefore, use the Coin icon in the top left-hand corner to setup 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 plenty of potential ways to win, but it is ultimately up to you to decide how many paylines 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 wager itself, before you hit the Spin button and hope for the best. Combinations of symbols on an activated payline trigger a corresponding cash prize, and in such even you can also click the Take Risk button to play a simple guessing game against the computer and try to double your win. Pick a card with a higher value than the computer’s, and you will be twice as rich as before! Beware though, as a single mistake will make all your stash disappear.
Lastly, you may also use the Auto function to let the game take the wheel and bet on several spins in a row; that is the perfect way to enjoy an uninterrupted and exciting game.
Meet the Owners
Let’s take a closer look at the horrifyingly rewarding paytable of The Vampires. You will find eight different basic symbols there.
We begin 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 no to keep an eye out for them as you play.
The last four basic symbols are the vampires themselves, starting with a Brunette, a Blond and a Red-Haired. Do not be fooled by their looks, they are dangerous creatures! Dracula tops off the menu, with a 500x reward for a five-of-a-kind combination.
Secret Weapons
We have three more symbols to review, and they all come with a little extra. The first one of them is the Bat, acting as the Wild card of the game. It simply means that the Bat can replace any of the basic symbols to help create even more winnings combinations as you play.
The second special symbol is the Scatter, depicting 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 extra Bonus symbol. Align three or more of them on an activated payline to trigger a mini game where you have to wake up as many vampires as possible in the cemetery, and collect extra rewards along the way.
Spooky Fun for All the Family
The Vampires is a slot game filled with fun and classic horror elements that will delight every fans of the genre. The rewards are decent and you will have many occasions to trigger some extra Free Spins during your game, which is always appreciated.
A Bonus game is always welcome, but it is perhaps not as rewarding in The Vampires as in other games – though very fun to play nonetheless.
