Theme – it’s close to midnight and something evil’s lurking in the dark

With a horror theme, the Bloodthirst slot is set close the midnight with something evil lurking in the dark. Creepy and scary, the setting seems to be Transylvania as you’ll see a full moon and what appears to be Bran Castle in the backdrop. This is also known as Dracula’s castle.

It comes with an equally terrifying soundtrack which will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. The imagery and visuals are in line with other Hacksaw Gaming slots like Rotten as opposed to the farming-themed Frank’s Farm which is about a sloth.

On the reels, symbols include A, K, Q, J and 10 royals which are carved out of stone. The higher value symbols include a ghouls, vampiress, werewolf and demon. Payouts wise, the vampire and demon symbols are the highest paying with 2, 4 or 10 x bet awarded for 3, 4 or 5 in combination.

Then you have the Pentagram Wild symbol that substitutes for all paying symbols. Appearing on all 5 reels, 5 across a payline awards 20 x your total bet. Other symbols include Free Spins and Upgrade scatters (more on these below).

All Hacksaw Gaming slots are producing using HTML5 technology. This allows for you to play Bloodthirst on mobile, laptop, PC and tablet devices. The 5×4 setup works well on mobile devices including those using iOS, Android and Windows operating systems. For the best visual experience, a larger screen is also recommended.

Bloodthirst Bonus Features

The Bloodthirst slot has 4 bonus features. Stacks of high value monster symbols give you Monster Reels which award extra prizes. Fill all 5 reels with Monster Reels for a Monster Takeover and prizes up to 2,500 x bet. This is more likely in the Bloodthirst free spins whilst in the Immortals free spins, 1 monster symbol is chosen. Each reel that has a Monster Reel is saved with a Monster Reel appearing on each saved reel. Look out for the Upgrade scatter which gives you a more valuable monster symbol.

Monster Takeover feature

When 4 high value monster character symbols of the same kind land stacked on a reel, they expand into a Monster Reel. Taking over the whole reel it appears on, a prize is awarded after expanded. They are as follows:

Now, if 5 of the same kind of Monster Reel appear at the same time, the Monster Takeover feature is triggered. When covering all 5 reels, a mega prize is awarded, up to 2,500 x bet:

Bloodthirst Free Spins feature

The Bloodthirst Free Spins feature is triggered by landing 3 Free Spins Scatter symbols simultaneously on a base game spin. With 10 free spins awarded, you will benefit from higher odds of landing Monster Reels which will lead to the Monster Takeover feature.

Immortals Free Spins feature

If you land 4 Free Spins Scatter symbols at the same time on a base game spin, the Immortals Free Spins feature will be activated. Like in the Bloodthirst feature, 10 free spins are awarded.

At the beginning of the feature, 1 of the 4 monster symbols is selected as the main symbol. This main symbol will be the only symbol that can expand into Monster Reels during the feature.

Once a Monster Reel appears, the indicator above the reel will be activated. On all free spins, Monster Reels will expand on all activated reels.

Finally, look out for the Potion Upgrade Scatter symbol. This upgrades the selected symbol to the next higher paying symbol (where possible). For example, if the selected symbol is the werewolf, the Upgrade Scatter will make the demon symbol the selected one.

Buy Bonus feature

Lastly, the Bloodthirst slot comes with a Buy Bonus feature for players outside the UK. It’s activated by pressing/clicking the yellow ‘Buy Bonus’ button below the reels. With 3 options to choose from, the RTP rate changes with each option.

Bloodthirst Review Summary – embrace evil with expanding monsters

For starters, the Bloodthirst slot is excellently designed. Dark, terrifying and creepy, the music is superb and really adds to the atmosphere. Graphically, it’s up there with the likes of Lordi Reel Monsters (Play ‘n GO) and Curse of the Werewolf Megaways (Pragmatic Play).

In terms of the gameplay, the key is to land stacks of monster symbols. If you’re lucky enough to land 5 Monster Reels simultaneously, a prize up to 2,500 x bet can be won. In the Bloodthirst free spins, you play 10 free spins with a higher chance of landing Monster Reels basically.

However, this is the case in the Immortal free spins but there’s a couple of extras. Look out for the Potion Upgrade Scatter as this gives you a higher paying main symbol. This includes your chances of landing 5 Monster Reels of the demon variety. That said, 2,500 x bet per free spin can be won and 10,000 x your total bet as a whole.

In summary, the Bloodthirst slot looks great, has a good variety of bonus features as well as high win potential. I can help but feel that multipliers would have taken this game to a whole new level.

If you like the horror theme, our catalogue of Halloween slots is the best place to begin. I recommend Red Tiger Gaming’s Blood Suckers Megaways slot which is the Megaways version of the popular NetEnt games. With lots of bonus features, it offers 20,521.9 x bet max wins and an amazing 97.66% RTP rate.
