Blood Suckers II Pokies
The Blood Suckers II video pokie from Net Ent has been highly anticipated, as it’s the sequel to one of the biggest games in their range. Improved graphics and some fantastic animations bring the undead to life across 5 reels and 25 fixed paylines, where symbols trigger bonuses such as free spins with multipliers and a side game that can lead to a top prize of 3000x the triggering bet.
Filled with vampires, there’s the opportunity to drive stakes through their hearts and the chance to stake just 0.25 on a spin of the reels, which can be raised to a high limit of 500.00 per spin, making this pokie suitable for casual players and high rollers alike. In fact, anyone who like the theme will be able to play, as free Blood Suckers II video pokies are also available, so even if there’s no real winnings, horror fans can still enjoy the sights and sounds in this exciting game.
Those gamblers who play for real money will need to see 3 of the same symbol type landing across a payline on adjacent reels from the left side to get a win, although wild, bonus and scatter symbols can trigger payouts in other ways.
Playing Blood Suckers II
There’s a back-story to the action on the reels, and players are introduced to the beautiful Amelia who has returned to the castle to find treasures that are now guarded by a demon. These characters turn up on the reels and in the bonus rounds, so the story behind them may not be crucial to the game, but adds a level of interest to events.
The Heart, Spade, Diamond and Club symbols are at the lower end of the paytable, each looking like a colourful jewel, and worth from the low limit of 2x or 5x the line bet when landing on 3 connected reels of a line, through to a maximum of 100x or 150x, depending on which symbol makes up the combination.
The medium value symbols are a series of 4 creepy characters, ranging from the attractive, but still a bit scary lady vampire, who pays out 10, 75 or 200x the line bet when she stops on 3, 4 or 5 reels through a Nosferatu type monster, a blonde gentleman-vampire and a dark-haired character who is worth 50, 150 or 500x the line bet.

Bonus Features
The top wins come from wild and scatter symbols. The wild family crest symbol is worth 5, 200, 2,000 or a massive 10,000x the line bet when stopping on 2, 3, 4, or 5 reels, while also being to act as all but the scatter, completing winning combinations by filling in any gaps or extending a win across more reels.
Some red roses make up the scatter icon in this pokie, and this will return up to 2,500x when 5 appear in any positions at once, plus any 3 or more will also launch 10 free spins, during which all line wins and scatter awards are tripled in value. The bonus round can be retriggered by more scatters and another 10 free games are added on.
The doors of a crypt act as a bonus symbol, which isn’t worth anything on its own, but takes players down into the darkest recesses of the castle whenever it lands in any 3 or more places across a payline at once, although if 4 or more bonus symbols started the round, any wins during it will be doubled. The aim in this special round is to click on coffins and treasure chests revealing either scatter symbols that will re-start the free spins, or a key that takes players to another level where the rewards are up to 1000 coins multiplied by the bet. Finding a demon however, will end the round.
Random Features
A Scatter Shot feature will see an extra scatter symbol added randomly when just 2 are on the reels, which is enough to start the free spins, plus any character symbols will pay out between 10 and 100x the total stake.
The Bonus Shot feature is also random, and adds another bonus symbol to the reels, which means the wins will subsequently be doubled in value.
The Verdict
While the original version of this game was a smash hit, by greatly improving the graphics and animations, Net Ent are sure to have an even bigger success on their hands. It’s a little less gory than the original, which some may not like, but still a much better-looking online casino pokie.
Features are generally very good, especially the high-value wild and scatter symbols, while win multipliers in the free spins and Hidden Treasure bonus round are very welcome additions.
