Video Slot Transylvania: Night Of Blood - Red Tiger

Review - Video Slot Transylvania: Night Of Blood

Cobblestones tremble under your feet as you walk in the flickering candlelight of the rain-soaked streets. Red Tiger ’s video slot Transylvania Night of Blood takes you back to the dark 17th century when vampires and werewolves first appeared to hunt the souls of mortals.

The game is played on a 6-column game grid, with 4 rows of symbols and 4,096 ways to win. A payout is awarded when identical symbols land on any row across consecutive reels from left to right. Players can expect a highly volatile math model with a default theoretical return value of 95.76%, while the game takes bets of 10 p/c to £/€10 per spin.

Prising the game open further, we come across ten regular paying symbols. The first five are low-pay 10-A card icons, designed in a jagged font, paying 0.8 to 2.5 times the stake for a five-of-a-kind winning way. Next are the high pays – garlic, a chalice, candles, a dagger, and a pistol, which are worth a payout of 3 to 8 times the bet should six matching symbols create a win.

Features

• Vampire Bite - While the reels are spinning, 2 to 10 Vampire Bites may occur on positions present on the middle four reels. Symbols which land on these bitten positions are transformed into wild symbols. Wilds substitute for all paying symbols and count as the symbol forming the longest winning combination on a single way.
• Werewolf Scratch - Also, when reels are spinning, 2 to 10 positions on any of the reels may be scratched. The symbols which land on these positions have a random ways multiplier of x2 to x10 applied to them. These symbols will be counted as the number of symbols the multiplier shows for any win evaluations. Note that these two modifiers cannot trigger on the same spin, except in the Battle Spins bonus round.
• Vampire Spins - The Vampire Spins symbol is a 1×4 sized scatter present on the first and last reels. When two of them land, 7 free Vampire Spins are awarded, where the Vampire Bite feature occurs at a greater rate.
• Werewolf Spins - The Werewolf Spins symbol is also a 1×4-sized scatter that lands on the first and last reel. Hitting two of them awards 7 free Werewolf Spins where the Werewolf Scratch feature triggers more often.
• Battle Spins - Landing a Vampire Spins scatter and a Werewolf Spins scatter at the same time awards 7 free Battle Spins. During this round, both Vampire Bites and Werewolf Scratches occur at a greater frequency and can now trigger at the same time. Scatter symbols do not land in any of the three bonus rounds, so none can be retriggered when free spins are active.

Scatter symbols of majestic but sinister creatures crawl onto the reels before an atmospheric backdrop. Vampire Bites may randomly infect symbols, turning them into Wilds to substitute for Win Way matches. Werewolf scratches may sever symbols to turn them into Ways Multipliers, enhancing your potential wins. Behold Free Spins!

Design and Symbols

Transylvania Night of Blood has a beautifully dark and gothic design that captures the essence of the horror genre. The game’s reels are set against a background of cobblestone streets with a full moon and a castle in the distance. The symbols include the standard playing card suits, as well as thematic symbols such as garlic, a chalice, candles, a dagger, and a pistol. The game’s soundtrack is also appropriately eerie, adding to the overall spooky atmosphere.

Bonus Features

The two bonus features in Transylvania Night of Blood are the Vampire Bite and Werewolf Scratch features. The Vampire Bite feature can randomly turn symbols into wilds, while the Werewolf Scratch feature can add multipliers to symbols. These features cannot trigger on the same spin, except in the Battle Spins bonus round. The game also offers three different free spins rounds. The Vampire Spins round is triggered by landing two Vampire Spins symbols on reels 1 and 6, and offers seven free spins with a higher frequency of the Vampire Bite feature. The Werewolf Spins round is triggered by landing two Werewolf Spins symbols on reels 1 and 6, and offers seven free spins with a higher frequency of the Werewolf Scratch feature. Finally, the Battle Spins round is triggered by landing both Vampire Spins and Werewolf Spins symbols on reels 1 and 6, and offers seven free spins with both features occurring more frequently.

Gameplay and Volatility
