About the game

Every point is checked against the studio's documentation or seen in session.

A benchmark built on one number

Few gothic titles left a bigger mark on the catalogue, and it was not the artwork that did it. NetEnt's manor, coffins and bats belong to a graphics generation that is now well behind us: readable, but dated.

Its reputation rests on a single line of data: 98% theoretical return. When it launched, the industry average sat near 96%, and two points of difference on a single machine is a lot.

What 98% actually means

A return rate guarantees nothing about one session; it describes average behaviour across a very large number of spins. For every hundred units staked, the machine theoretically returns ninety-eight, against ninety-six on a standard title.

Over a short session that gap is invisible, buried in variance. Over serious volume it changes how fast a bankroll erodes, and that is the only honest promise the figure supports.

Low volatility, low ceiling

The trade-off is low volatility and a 1,014x maximum. The machine pays often, pays small, and holds nothing spectacular in reserve.

The two settings belong together: a high rate with a low cap means the maths budget goes into frequency rather than the tail of the distribution. Anyone hunting a big multiplier is in the wrong game.

The stake bonus and the free spins

The feature side rests on two things: a bonus round where you open coffins until you uncover a sleeping vampire, and free spins carrying a multiplier.

The pick round is classic pick-and-click with no real decision: you choose, the machine decides. It is short, and it gives rhythm to a session that would otherwise be very flat.

Who it still suits

It remains a sound choice for playing long on a fixed budget, or for working through wagering requirements without being emptied by variance. Casinos know this, which is why it often appears among excluded or capped titles in bonus terms.

It suits neither players who want modern visuals nor players chasing a maximum: the artwork is over a decade old and the ceiling does not move.

The rules

Rules

Settings and mechanics taken from the studio's published documentation, line by line.

Base game

The provider does not publish the reel layout or the number of lines for this game. A win is formed by matching symbols according to the paytable and the active lines or ways as shown by the provider during play.

Details of winning combinations and symbol values are given in the in-game paytable; the provider did not publish the grid or number of lines in the supplied data.

Listed mechanics

Blood Suckers mechanic, Bonus Game, Pick Objects and Wild are declared by the provider. The provider supplies these mechanic names but does not provide detailed descriptions or parameters in the supplied data.

The "Pick Objects" mechanic is indicated as a type of bonus game associated with the Bonus Game, without further published details. The exact role of the Wild in combinations is not detailed by the provider here.

Free spins and multiplier

The game lists Free Spins and a Free Spins Multiplier. The provider does not publish the number of free spins awarded nor the multiplier values applied during those spins in the supplied data.

The triggers for free spins (requirements, symbols) and how the multiplier is applied are not specified by the provider here.

RTP and volatility

The published RTP for the game is 98 % and volatility is indicated as LOW. RTP (theoretical return) corresponds to the average percentage returned over the long term according to the provider.

LOW volatility indicates that, per the provider, the game’s win profile tends toward more frequent and generally smaller wins than higher-volatility games.

Maximum win

The published maximum win is 1014x the stake. The provider communicated this multiple as the game’s maximum possible payout.

Verdict · NetEnt

Blood Suckers in one sentence

Blood Suckers is played for one reason, and it is a perfectly good one: 98% theoretical return at low volatility. Everything else, from the artwork to the 1,014x ceiling, belongs to 2013. This is an endurance machine, not a thrill machine.

Paytable not published

The studio does not publish this game's table and we have not yet recorded it spin by spin. No plausible-looking multiplier is written in its place: an invented value here would distort every comparison in the catalogue.

Author of this review

Étienne Marchal

Étienne Marchal, 54, spent fifteen years repairing pinball tables and arcade cabinets before he started writing about slot machines. That first career left him one habit: open the cabinet before giving an opinion. On Vampire Slots he tests every game in demo mode to a fixed protocol — at least three hundred base-game spins at a constant stake, a record of small-win frequency, then a full pass through the paytable and the rules screen to check what the studio actually claims. Anything he cannot verify himself is attributed to its source or left blank. He writes the game pages and the casino reviews, and will happily say that a title is slow, expensive or derivative: a slot machine is judged on its behaviour rather than its artwork.

Frequently asked

Blood Suckers — FAQ

Short answers; the detail lives in the guides.

Is the 98% RTP guaranteed?
No. It is a theoretical rate calculated over a very large number of spins; any individual session can land anywhere.
What is the maximum win?
1,014x the stake, a very low ceiling even by the standards of its time.
Why do some casinos exclude it from bonuses?
Because a high return rate combined with low volatility makes wagering requirements easier to clear. That is an operator decision, to be checked in their terms.
Is the volatility really low?
Yes, and it matches the ceiling: wins are frequent and small, without dramatic swings.
