Blood Suckers Pokie Machine
Vampires have been the subject of fascination for many years, from the 18th century tale of Dracula, through the Hammer Horror movies and of course the more recent Twilight saga. So it shouldn’t come as any surprise that a number of themed casino games are available, and among the most popular we have the Blood Suckers video pokie from Net Ent.
It’s got 5 reels and 25 paylines of gore, filled with images of the undead, along with their unfortunate victims and some of the weapons used to dispatch vampires with, such as garlic and a crossbow. Some of these ghoulish symbols will trigger the bonus features, such as wild substitutions, free spins and a fun stake-a-vampire side game that’s got big wins for those players who manage to skewer a few of these nightmarish creatures.
Playable from just 0.01, there’s a high limit of 500.00 per spin, although activating all 25 paylines equals a minimum stake to start the staking of 0.25. Free Blood Suckers video pokies are available at most casinos for anyone who wants to test it out first, or just play for fun.
Playing Blood Suckers
All symbols are related to the theme, with the lowest value one being the garlic which pays out 2, 15 or 75x the line bet equivalent when landing on 3, 4 or 5 connected reels of an active payline running from the left side. Next up, we see a blood-soaked arrow next to the crossbow that fired it, then there’s a bible, and a bottle of holy water is worth 5, 50 or 100x the line bet when it’s splashed across 3, 4 or 5 reels.
The more valuable symbols are the various vampires, starting with a female bat-thing who pays out 10, 50 or 125x, while a creature that looks remarkably similar to Gary Oldman in the 1992 Dracula movie is up next. Then a blonde male drinking a wine glass of blood, (think Tom Cruise in Interview With The Vampire), returns wins of 15, 75 or 250, while some kind of terror in a turban is the top valued character, paying out 50, 100 or 500x the line bet.
The wild symbol is a vampire biting the neck of a young woman, and this only needs to appear on reels 1 and 2 of a line to be worth a small prize of 2x, but 3, 4 or 5 of them will see payouts of 200, 2,000 or 7,500x the line bet respectively. As it’s wild, this icon can also replace any of the standard symbols to help complete a winning combination, while additionally, it can stretch a win across extra reels for a higher prize.

Bonus Features
A stake and mallet, dripping with blood, is the grisly trigger for a fun bonus game. Any 3 or more of these on a payline takes players to a crypt where 12 unopened coffins are lined up and a click on a coffin opens the lid where they will see a resting vampire. Each vampire gets stabbed in the heart in a shower of gore, earning coins with each one found, with the round continuing until a coffin full of bats ends the fun. Just 3 of the 12 coffins contain the bats, so there’s a good chance that players will get to brutally slay a few vampires before the round ends.
The vampire bride is a scatter symbol, so she can pop up anywhere on the reels without needing to be on an active payline. Just 2 nearly-dead newlyweds are needed to win 2x the total bet, and 3, 4 or 5 will pay out 4, 25 or 100x the bet. Any 3 or more will also start a free spins round and although just 10 bonus games are awarded, any winnings during them will be tripled in value. If the scatter appears in 3 or more positions in a free spin, the round is retriggered and 10 more games are added on.
The Verdict
This is a fun, if somewhat gory, casino game online, that’s become one of the most popular in Net Ent’s extensive range. While many players just love the theme and the opportunity to slaughter the occasional vampire, there’s also some decent bonus features hidden within these blood-soaked reels.
The unique side game is quite entertaining and has the potential for big rewards, while tripling the wins during the free spins round is an added treat. Like many pokies from this developer, Blood Suckers is mobile-optimised, so players can enjoy the action from wherever they may be.
