Blood Suckers Megaways Slot (Red Tiger)

The Blood Suckers Megaways slot is played using the Megaways mechanic created originally by Big Time Gaming. With 6 reels and up to 117,649 Megaways (or ways to win), the number of Megaways changes randomly with each spin. On every reel, you’ll see a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 7 symbols. The more symbols per reel, the more ways to win.

With a minimum of 324 ways to win, a winning combination is formed by landing 3 or more identical symbols on successive/adjacent reels and beginning from the leftmost reel.

In terms of stakes (no pun intended), you can play Blood Suckers Megaways from 10p to £20 per spin. You may find the maximum bet may be limited at most UK casino sites to £4 a spin. Changing your bet is simple: on a laptop or PC, use the plus/minus buttons below the reels. On a mobile or tablet, press the Stake box to see all options. Non-UK players have an Auto function (20, 50 or 100 auto spins with a loss limit) and Turbo Mode.

Now, the Blood Suckers Megaways RTP rate is 97.66%. Extremely high compared to the online slots average of 96%, it’s also one the highest RTP slots available online. Red Tiger Gaming has also created 94.68% and 92.77% RTP alternative versions which are more likely to be used at casinos as the top rate is extremely high.

Very high volatility, there is no specific hit frequency rate with Red Tiger specifying that it’s 3/5 (so a win on 60% of spins). In terms of win potential, the Blood Suckers Megaways slot can create 20,521.9 times bet maximum wins. The key to winning big is from the free spins where there are extra wilds and an increased multiplier.

With a vampire/horror theme, the Blood Suckers Megaways slot was released on the 26^th of January 2023. Following on from the Blood Suckers (November 2013) and Blood Suckers 2 (February 2017) games by sister company NetEnt, you aim to grapple onto your wooden stake to hunt down the terrors of the night (i.e. vampires).

The setting is a Victorian town where chilly mist drifts in the air as biting cold sinks its teeth deep into your bones (according to Red Tiger). Superbly designed, the soundtrack is harrowing and creepy setting the atmosphere of the blood bath that’s to follow.

The low-value symbols are essential for vampire hunters and include garlic, a pistol crossbow, a dagger, a bible and holy water. Various nemeses represent the higher-value symbols including a female vampire, the demon Succubus, vampire Nosferatu, an aristocrat and warlord Vlad the Impaler. Vlad the Impaler pays the most awarding 3 times your total bet for 6 in combination. All symbols depict the original/first Blood Suckers game.

Special symbols include the Vampire Bite Wild and 2 Super Wilds. All wild symbols substitute for paying symbols above. There is also a Vampire Bride Scatter which is key to triggering the free spins. Below are details of symbol payouts and functions:

• Pistol Crossbow/Garlic: 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 or 0.4 x bet
• Bible/Dagger: 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 or 0.5 x bet
• Holy Water: 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 or 0.6 x bet
• Female Vampire: 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 or 0.8 x bet
• Succubus: 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.4, 0.5, 0.7 or 0.9 x bet
• Nosferatu: 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.5, 0.7, 0.9 or 1.2 x bet
• Aristocrat: 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.5, 0.7, 1 or 1.5 x bet
• Vlad the Impaler: 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.8, 1.2, 1.7 or 3 x bet

Blood Suckers Megaways Mobile

Created using HTML5 technology, Blood Suckers Megaways is available to play on laptops, PCs, tablets and smartphones. If you decide to play at mobile casino sites, you’ll find it’s compatible with iOS and Android devices. I find the buttons and functions easier too.  

With 7 bonus features, Blood Suckers Megaways offers chain reactions for continuous wins. In the base game, there are random features including wilds, more scatters, multipliers up to 5x and Super Wild reels with multipliers up to 7x. In the free spins, you slay vampires in their coffins to bring in the aforementioned features and win extra free spins.

Chain Reaction

Every winning combination triggers the Chain Reaction feature. The contributing/winning symbols disappear from the reels with new symbols falling in. If another winning combination is created, the process is repeated until no more new wins are formed. This feature is known as Cascading Wins, Cascades or Avalanches in other slots.

Random

In the base game, a coffin can randomly appear over the reels. You then open the coffin in the mausoleum to reveal a sleeping vampire enveloped in red velvet cushions. If you slay the vampire, 1 of the following bonus features will be triggered automatically:

• Random Wilds feature: 2 to 10 wilds will be placed randomly on reels 2, 3, 4, and/or 5.
• Bonus Scatters feature: 2, 3 or 4 Vampire Bride Scatters are placed on the reels which could in turn trigger the Free Spins feature.
• Super Wilds feature: 1 of 2 Super Wilds will land on reels 2, 3, 4 and/or 5. These are wild reels with a random multiplier between 2x and 7x.
• Wins Multiplier feature: a random 2x, 3x or 5x multiplier is applied to all your current spin if it awards a winning combination.

Free Spins

When you land 3 or more Vampire Bride Scatters anywhere in view, you’ll trigger the Free Spins feature with 5 free spins. Every triggering scatter awards 1 pick which takes place before the free spins. This means 3, 4 or 5 scatters will give you 3, 4 or 5 picks respectively.

Then you will see 10 closed coffins. Use your picks to open coffins and slay the vampires inside. Each slayed vampire rewards you with the following modifiers:

If you were to reveal Random Wilds twice, you’d benefit from 4-10 wilds on each free spin for example. If you don’t pick one of the modifiers initially, they can be triggered randomly during the feature. In total, there’s a maximum of 14 free spins to be won and a wins multiplier of up to 10x.

Buy Bonus

Players located outside the UK can take advantage of the Buy Bonus feature. With 4 options to choose from, you buy your way directly into bonus features. If you use it, the RTP rises to 97.73% (for the highest RTP setting). Here are your choices and the costs associated:

• 10 x bet: Feature Coffin with 1 random base game feature triggered
• 150 x bet: Free Spins feature with 3 coffin picks
• 500 x bet: Free Spins feature with 4 coffin picks
• 1,000 x bet: Free Spins feature with 5 coffin picks

Blood Suckers Megaways Slot

Rating: 4.8/5

Blood Suckers Megaways has a very high RTP rate (97.66%), big win potential (20,521.9 x bet), lots of bonus features and is one of the best Megaways slot games.

Chris Taylor

With the hundred of Megaways games available, the Blood Suckers Megaways slot has become one of the most popular since it’s relatively late released in the Megaways cycle. True to the previous Blood Suckers slots, the graphics and animations are better than its predecessors and the harrowing soundtrack is great and really comes into its own during the free spins.

In terms of the gameplay, there are 4 random base game features which award random wilds, more Vampire Bride scatters, multipliers up to 5x, and, importantly), Super Wild reels with multipliers up to 7x. All available in the Free Spins feature, multipliers can reach 10x during the feature too if you’re lucky with your coffin picks. I found the Super Wilds and Wins Multiplier to be the best modifiers.

Then you have the very high RTP rate of 97.66% which makes Blood Suckers Megaways one of the best RTP slots online. Offering 20,521.9 times bet maximum wins, it has everything you can hope for. The original Blood Suckers does boast a 98% RTP rate with Red Tiger keeping one of the main factors that made it so popular.

In summary, Blood Suckers Megaways is better than its predecessors with a high RTP rate, huge win potential and more bonus features. As a result, it has made my list of the top 10 Megaways slots.

If you are thirsty for blood, you cannot go wrong with Immortal Romance and Immortal Romance 2 from Stormcraft Studios/Microgaming. Alternatively, you could sample various serial killer-themed slots in our Halloween slots guide.
