Baron Bloodmore and the Crimson Castle Slot Review

Baron Bloodmore and the Crimson Castle Slot Details & Wager Limits

The Baron Bloodmore and the Crimson Castle slot has 5 reels, 3 rows and 25 fixed paylines. Create a winning combination by landing 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols or wilds from left to right across a payline, starting from reel 1.

Stakes range from 10p to £100 per spin. Click on the casino chip icon in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen to adjust and view all available bets. In most countries outside of the UK, you will find an Auto Play function where up to 5,000 autospins can be chosen.

The Baron Bloodmore and the Crimson Castle RTP is 96.07%. I found the volatility here to be in the very high category, so don’t expect big wins too often.

The potential maximum payout stands at a very generous 25,000 x your total stake from 1 of the bonus features.

Theme – inspired by Dracula

There are few slot developers with more design flair than Thunderkick and the Baron Bloodmore and the Crimson Castle slot is another superb looking release. Inspired by Bram Stoker’s Dracula, it has a vampire theme. The candlelit interior of Crimson Castle is the setting.

On the reels, you’ll see Gothic style A to 10 royals which appear alongside coat of arms-style ravens, wolves and gargoyles. Dapper vampire Baron Bloodmore is the most lucrative standard symbol. He pays 1.5, 5 or 30 x your total stake if you land 3, 4 or 5 across a payline.

Those same payout amounts are on offer from the female vampire wild. She can land on all 5 reels and substitute for all the standard symbols in a winning combination.

The game comes with 2 scatter symbols. The golden skull is the free spins scatter while the castle silhouette is the cash scatter. They can both trigger a feature round.

Baron Bloodmore and the Crimson Castle Mobile

You can join the dandyish bloodsucker on mobile, desktop and tablet devices. All versions come with Thunderkick’s trademark design and a top variety of extras. The mobile package is very good.

Baron Bloodmore and the Crimson Castle Bonus Features

The vampire theme here is very familiar. Thunderkick has added some classic features into that mix but given them a tweak to create something potentially far more interesting. Highlights include Massive Mystery Symbols, streak respins and a free spins bonus.

Massive Mystery Symbols feature

On any base game spin, you could see blocks of 3×3 Massive Mystery Symbols appear on the middle 3 reels. Known as the Massive Mystery Symbols feature, these 9 symbols positions will all transform into the same symbol which can be anything apart from the free spins scatter.

Bonus Game feature

Landing 3 or more of the free spins scatter symbols on the same spin triggers the Bonus Game feature. The more scatters, the more free spins:

• 3 scatters = 10 free spins
• 4 scatters = 15 free spins
• 5 scatters = 20 free spins

Boosting your winning chances in the free spins are the Massive Mystery Symbols which will appear on the middle 3 reels on each free spin.

Crimson Cash Bonus feature

The Crimson Cash Bonus feature is a variation on the classic streak respin bonus. It’s triggered by landing 5 or more Cash Scatter Symbols anywhere on the reels on the same spin. Those Cash Scatters are held and the rest of the reels are cleared.

You’ll start with 3 respins on reels made up of blanks and Cash Scatters. If a new Cash Scatter lands, it locks in place and the respins reset to 3. Each Cash Scatter has a cash value of between 1 and 50 x stake attached. When you’ve used up all your respins, the value of the coins is added together for your overall prize. So far, so standard.

However, there are 3 extras on offer that spice up the Crimson Cash Bonus feature:

• Pattern Collect feature: 5 symbols positions are illuminated which you need to fill with Cash scatters. The values of all 5 symbols are added together. This amount is added to the middle position on the grid and then doubled. The illuminated symbols are removed from the grid and a new pattern is added.
• Spawn feature: the golden bat is the spawn symbol. When this appears, it can add a random multiplier boost to the value of all the other symbols on the reels.
• Copy feature: look out for the coffin which is the Copy symbol. This copies the values of all the symbols on the reels onto itself.

Baron Bloodmore and the Crimson Castle Review Summary – a different vampire slot

I enjoyed the Baron Bloodmore and the Crimson Castle slot. The design is terrific and up to Thunderkick’s usual impeccable standards. I wish Thunderkick would have called it Baron Bloodmore though which would have been easier to type in this review.

The gameplay impresses too. They have taken standard features and added an extra layer to them to really ramp up the action. Decent wins can come from the Massive Mystery symbols but it’s the Crimson Cash Bonus feature which impresses.

The streak respin element is a perfectly decent bonus in its own right. However, it’s the modifiers that take it to the next level.

If you like this kind of thing, the Money Cart Bonus feature in Relax Gaming’s Money Train 2 is one of the best offering many extras and potential 50,000 x stake payouts. Although a different theme, the Lost City of the Djinn slot is almost identical to Baron Bloodmore and the Crimson Castle in terms of features and max win potential.

If you’re on the hunt for vampires, the Immortal Romance slot from Games Global is one of the best available.
