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

Introduction

Experience a blood-sucking adventure with this five-reel, five-payline slot from Apollo Games. This fantasy vampire-themed slot is set amidst a dark world where vampires rule the roost but juicy wins can be discovered if you are brave enough to embark on a spinning quest. Can you see past the blood-soaked fans and pierced hearts to view the potential this game has to offer? The expanding wilds and transforming symbols may help to alleviate any fears you have, although the variable RTP should make you look over your shoulder - or at least at the casino-specific game details - before you choose to play.

Blood theme and story

If you like the vampire theme of games such as the Immortal Romance slot, you may want to give this one a try. It is filled with coffins and crucifixes, along with dogs with fangs that are dripping with blood. This may not be a game for the faint-hearted but it could be one to try if you like the idea of spending a little time in a fantasy world where the likes of wooden stakes, pierced hearts and night stalkers appear in the darkness but can have a much more positive effect on your day - or night - than you might first imagine.

Blood RTP and variance

Blood has an adjustable RTP, which means it will change according to which casino you choose to play at. We found it offered an RTP of around 94.36 per cent, which is low compared with the industry average of 96 per cent; however, it does offer random jackpot prizes, which usually lowers the RTP. It plays like a medium variance slot.

How to play Blood

Free slots are generally not complicated to play, and this game is no exception. It can still pay to have a few handy hints before you start, so here is what you might need to know if you decide to give Blood a spin:

1. One of the first things you may notice is that you have to play this game in landscape mode if you choose to use a mobile device.
2. Next, you will need to decide whether you want to play with the sound on or off. Don’t worry if you change your mind, as you can change your settings later on.
3. The game layout makes the controls you need to use incredibly easy to see. The menu button flashes in red and the start tab flashes green.
4. Hit the menu button to open a range of options. This is where you will find the paytable, the game information section, the bet settings, and other personalisation choices.
5. The gear tab offers a range of sub-settings and is where you need to go to choose the language. It is also where you will find the in-game sound settings and the autoplay option.
6. You can also choose to play in autostart mode, as it is known in this game, by holding down the start tab. 
7. Have fun and always remember to bet responsibly. Make use of time-out and self-exclusion functions if you need them.

Blood bonus features

This game has a few bonus features. Let’s take a look at what is on offer:

Gamble 

You can attempt to double your prize in the gamble feature that appears after wins. It is a simple pick‘em game whereby you have to try to predict the colour of the card that will come out of the pack next. You don’t have to gamble the whole amount, as there is the chance to bet half your stake. You can gamble a maximum of five times in a row.

Multipliers

Your winnings can be multiplied by 3x, 4x or 5x if you land between three and five matching jack to ace playing card symbols.

Wild symbol

The wild has a traditional joker function and can substitute for other symbols. In this game, it is also an expanding symbol and can take up a whole reel and replace other symbols to create a winning combination.

Blood review: our verdict

This choice of Apollo Games slots is an attractive game with the potential to win one of three randomly-awarded jackpot prizes, as is always the case with slots from this maker. There are also expanding wild symbols that can transform symbols to create wins. These are always popular bonus features but you may be disappointed by the fact that, apart from a standard gamble feature, this is the extent of the extras this game offers. It is certainly not for you if you want a game packed with the likes of free spins and bonus games; however, it is a good looking offering with a decent betting range, good graphics and a popular theme, so don’t discount giving this one a spin.
