Blood Suckers Megaways: Slot Overview

Hone your stakes, grab some garlic, and double-check that crucifix as we enter the grim realm of Blood Suckers Megaways from developer Red Tiger. This release trails the blood-splattered legacy of Blood Suckers (2013) and Blood Suckers 2 (2017) from fellow studio NetEnt, steering the now-established trilogy in a fresh, more modern direction. It isn’t a total reinvention, though—traces of the earlier two titles are easy to spot throughout Blood Suckers Megaways, which, as the name implies, is also powered up by BTG’s popular Megaways game engine. On top of that foundation, Red Tiger has piled on features including chain reactions, free spins with coffin picks, random wilds, super wilds, and win multipliers.

Famous for its unusually high RTP, the original Blood Suckers launched almost a decade before this entry and, even now, still feels surprisingly solid. The sequel leaned into a female vampire hunter angle, and of the two older games, Blood Suckers Megaways arguably looks closer to the original. That’s largely down to the familiar symbol set, along with the same misty, eerie backdrop. It’s the kind of old European cityscape you wouldn’t want to wander through on a night when spirits and monsters are roaming free. The atmosphere is dark, yet the symbols nudge things back toward playful, giving Blood Suckers Megaways a slightly tongue-in-cheek vibe too. It’s a fine line, though, leaving you unsure whether the game is poking fun at horror—or hinting at something nastier underneath…

As noted earlier, one of Blood Suckers’ standout traits was its incredible RTP of 98%, and the good news is Blood Suckers Megaways isn’t far off. In standard play, the maximum return reaches 97.66%, and it edges higher when purchasing free spins, up to 97.73%. The win potential is easily the biggest of the three titles at 20,521x, backed up by a highly volatile math model. To jump in, players choose a base bet of 10 p/c to $/€4 per paid spin across device types for the full blood-soaked experience.

Action takes place on a 6-reel Megaways grid, with each reel showing 2 to 7 symbols, creating between 324 to 117,649 ways to win. The core mechanic is chain reactions: winning symbols are removed from the reels, fresh symbols drop in to fill the gaps, and if the fall produces more wins, another chain reaction kicks off. Wins are formed by landing at least three matching symbols on three consecutive reels, beginning from the leftmost reel. Payouts come in at 0.4 to 0.6 times the bet for six garlic cloves, crossbows, daggers, holy items, and flasks, or 0.8 to 3 times the bet for six of the five character high pays. Multiple wild symbols show up in Blood Suckers Megaways: one is a standard 1×1 wild, while the others are full reel Super Wilds. Both versions can substitute for any regular pay symbol.

Blood Suckers Megaways: Slot Features

Loaded with extras like a vampire hunter’s fully stocked anti-Nosferatu kit, Blood Suckers Megaways delivers four base game modifiers plus free spins that begin with a feature-pick round.

Base Game Modifiers

At the start of any base game spin, a Feature Coffin may show up on the screen, granting one of these modifiers once the vampire is taken down:

• Random Wilds – two to ten wilds are placed in random spots on reels 2, 3, 4 and/or 5
• Super Wilds – one or two full reel Super Wilds land on reels 2 to 5. Super Wilds possess a ways multiplier equal to the number of positions on their respective reel, up to x7.
• Bonus Scatters – 2, 3, or 4 scatter symbols are placed on their reels, possibly helping trigger the bonus round.
• Win Multiplier – a multiplier of x2, x3, or x5 is applied to the win on the current spin, if it is a winning spin. Multipliers reset at the beginning of the next spin.

Free Spins

Hitting at least 3 scatter symbols grants 5 free spins. Each triggering scatter awards one pick in the picker bonus before free spins begin – up to 5 picks at the most. In the picker, players choose to open coffins and reveal their reward after the vampire is defeated. Possible outcomes include:

• Random Wilds – two of the coffins may award random wilds. Each revealed random wild coffin places 2-5 wilds on reels 2-5 on each free spin.
• Super Wilds – Each revealed Super Wild coffin (up to 2) grants a Super Wild on each spin.
• Bonus Spins – three of the coffins may award 1, 2, or 3 additional free spins.
• Wins Multipliers – three of the coffins may award a multiplier of x2, x3, or x5. More than one revealed multiplier means their values are stacked.

If you don’t uncover every coffin tied to one of the four rewards, that modifier can still randomly trigger during the feature. For instance, if one or none of the Random Wilds coffins have been selected, Random Wilds may randomly activate during free spins. Also note that the multiplier has a maximum value of x10.

Bonus Buy

Where available, players may purchase a Feature Coffin, free spins with 3 guaranteed picks, free spins with 4 guaranteed picks, or free spins with five guaranteed picks, priced at 10x, 150x, 500x, or 1,000x the bet.

Blood Suckers Megaways: Slot Verdict

Blood Suckers Megaways feels like one of those oddly brilliant Eurovision acts—dramatic enough to soften the horror, yet gory enough to make you question whether it’s all meant seriously. That said, the fun factor is absolutely no joke, and Red Tiger’s streak of taking a NetEnt classic like Gonzo’s Quest and pushing it to new Megaways levels continues in style. The studio has effectively cherry-picked strong elements from the past, then built them out using the more advanced Megaways framework, along with several modern touches. The end product is a slot that nods to what came before while driving the action forward for what’s next.

To be completely clear, Blood Suckers Megaways was a great play, blending its creepy-but-wry theme with a set of exciting features, modifiers, and mechanics. There’s always a bit of concern when creatives resurrect an older favourite—whether it’s an online slot, a film, or anything else. Will it feel like a cash-in, spoil the original, or tarnish the franchise? Thankfully, Blood Suckers Megaways avoids all of that and instead expands the series in a positive way. As mentioned, RTP was a key strength of Blood Suckers, and alongside the strong return on offer in Blood Suckers Megaways, you also get a dramatically higher win ceiling of 20,521.9x the bet. It’s difficult to imagine what more you could ask for.

All told, if you enjoyed the original Blood Suckers slots—or if something like Immortal Romance is your kind of thing—then giving Blood Suckers Megaways a spin to see the update is close to essential. Even newcomers to the series can find plenty to like in what Red Tiger has created: a slot with engaging presentation and lively gameplay that only ever really “sucks” thanks to its sharp-fanged cast.
