Update 14/08/2014: Try Blood Suckers slot on mobile for yourself at Leo Vegas casino »
Blood suckers video slot is popular with many. Not so much with us. Controversial we know, but there we go. So our video review is a little twisted because of this little fact. However, this is such an old NetEnt slot game, we suspect you’ll have already made up your mind about whether you’ll want to play it on your mobile or not.
Also, in all honesty, we are a little bit ‘miffed’. For those non-UK folks reading this, that a nice way for us Brits to say ‘god damn freaking annoyed’.
The annoyance
We expect Microgaming to take their sweet ass time releasing new games and giving us their back catalogue whilst they decide to make one blockbuster game mobile a year. They’ve done it forever and so we sigh and just catch up on their old games when they come on mobile.
But Net Entertainment have always been awesome at giving us all their latest slot release on mobile. Every month we get something new and generally exciting. But where, we ask, is the recently released Wish Master? Or the upcoming Lost Island? Or even the less well known Attraction slot coming also in August?
No where on your tablet or phone, that’s where.. not…
Instead we have to content ourselves with Piggy Riches and Blood Suckers. Not bad games as such, but old. Yes, we get Mega Fortune Dreams, which we are excited about. But still. One new game in three months? What’s happening over in the Swedish headquarters? Too much aquavit this summer?
And no we are not being childish and whinny. It’s just that we like playing NetEnt mobile phone games, and it breaks our heart a little every time we have to go online to check out the latest releases and we can’t write about it. They’re our favourite toys!!
Ok now we are being childish and whinny. Let’s move on to the main event.
The Blood Suckers Touch Video Preview
Yeap, that the Blood Suckers slot machine all right. Let’s look a little at the facts and figures behind it:
- 25 paylines and 5 reels
- Min / max bet: 0.25 – 50. A good range by all means
- Max win during the free spins (and the game): €£$45,000. A great sum.
- 98% return to player rate, again, great figures here.
- 10 free spins won on three scatters and a click me bonus feature.
So why are we so down on this game? By all accounts these are good stats?
Sure. But it’s all a bit… familiar isn’t it? And there is a reason for it as this kind of game has been done a thousand times before. Even the theme, though gloriously more bloody and gory than the usual tween vampire fare we get these days, looks a little dated. More hammer house of horror than modern scares.
At least Piggy Riches slot is high variance, allowing for some really big wins. The top you can win here is 900x your bet, which isn’t half bad, but not as good as so many newer releases from the same provider. Plus Blood Suckers is a fairly low variance slot anyway, so it’s here for entertainment far more than big win thrills.
Yet it’s still an old favourite
And this is what we have to remind ourselves. Despite our bitter disappointment at the lack of new slot games, NetEnt picked Blood Suckers for a reason. Because despite being several years old, fans of the online slot keep coming back time and time again to play.
Which leads us to believe that:
- You caught us on a bad day when we really just wanted to talk about a new game
- This might just be the perfect opportunity for us to re-try Blood Suckers properly and give it half a chance
But hey, we are only human right? Come the end of August, with the sun in our face and a bloody mary in one hand, we may be far nicer to this slot game than we are being right now.
