Blood Moon - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Blood Moon is set on a mountain overlooking the cityscape of Tokyo, will a full moon illuminating the screen. You will find card suits and gemstones on the reels, giving this game a pleasant and simple vibe.

To win in Blood Moon, all you need to do is match three+ symbols along one of the 40 active paylines, starting on the far-left reel.

The moon acts as the wild symbol in Blood Moon and can substitute for any symbol excluding the scatter to help you win bigger and better prizes. What’s more, the wild will often come with multipliers attached to increase your winnings by 2x, 3x or 5x.

The scatter is a dimly-lit Earth as seen from space - most likely from the moon. Find three of these symbols in any position to trigger the free spins bonus round, which we will discuss later in this Blood Moon review.

Theme, graphics & soundtrack

The soundtrack for Blood Moon is well suited to the big city and almost reminds us of a nightclub. The chilled vibes are just right for the slot and do a great job of enticing you into the world Ganapati has created.

As previously mentioned, the background for Blood Moon is the city of Tokyo at night, with Mount Fuji visible to the right of the reels. The huge full moon is visible above the city, with glittering stars in the background.

During the free spins round, the moon transforms into a beautiful blood moon and bathes the reels in a stunning red/orange glow to give the game its name.

Blood Moon RTP & volatility

Bonus features

In addition to the wild multipliers that can appear in the base game, land three scatter symbols in any position to trigger 15 free spins. During the free spins round, every wild will have a multiplier of 2x, 3x or 5x attached. Find two or three additional scatters during the bonus round to receive an extra 2 or 15 free spins respectively. The round ends when you run out of free spins.

Conclusion

In conclusion, we really enjoyed playing Blood Moon. Although we couldn’t quite define which category it fits in best, the gameplay is incredibly smooth and the graphics are beautiful. The wild multipliers are a really nice touch and enable even lower winning combinations to become very rewarding, even in the base game. The free spins were a little elusive but not too tricky to trigger, and we liked that every wild came with a multiplier during these rounds.

If you enjoyed playing Blood Moon as much as we did, you might also want to check out Microgaming’s Immortal Romance slot. Based on the popular vampire genre, this game is packed full of wonderful graphics and exciting bonus features to keep players on the edge of their seats.
