Wild Blood 2

Dare to dabble in the darker side of life with Wild Blood 2, the online slot from Play’n GO. If you’re into vamps, the paranormal and gothic romance, then this game should get your pulse racing. And if the hot vampire and his three sexy femme fatales aren’t enough to tempt you, perhaps the top prize of x5000 may persuade you to bite. 

As the title suggests, this is the second of the Wild Blood slots from Playtech, with the originally released in 2013. Its predecessor wasn't an enormous hit, but vampire-themed slots titles have a solid fan base, so it's not surprising that Playtech have brought this title back to life. There are fun and cartoonish vamp slots such as Blood Suckers from NetEnt, but the Wild Blood series has more of a spooky, grown-up vibe, similar to Immortal Romance from Microgaming. 

Players will instantly notice that the undead have been busy in the three years they've been away as the reels here are bigger and better than before. You'll be playing on six compared to the original five, and the paylines have gone from 15 traditional to 4096 ways to win. High rollers can top out with a max bet of 100.00, but it's a game that's more suited to intermediate players. The min bet is 0.20, and there's a medium volatility so that you can expect a steady flow of smaller prizes and a very long way for the big money.

If you like your vampires more like the romantic Lestat than the sparkly, modern Edward Cullen in Twilight, you’ll appreciate the new style in Wild Blood 2. Everything seems to have been wound back in time with the main bloodsucker and his vamps all wearing period costumes - and we doubt it’s because they’re heading off to a fancy dress party. Atmospheric and evocative, the graphics are more sophisticated too. You can practically feel the wind blowing through the eerie trees, and what’s that noise behind you? It’s probably just the sound of your own heart beating a little too fast - or is it…? 

There are ten symbols on the reels, with the low pays made up from Gothic-style royals, 9-A. Moving up the paytable, there are quite disturbing skulls, daggers and then the three gorgeous girl vamps in the premium pays - Laura, Margaret and Rebecca. Land six across a payline, and you'll win x7.5, whichever femme fatale is involved. 

There would have been an irony in a game called Wild Blood 2 without a wild, but thankfully that's not the case. This is where the handsome male vampire steps up. Landing as a regular size on reels 2-5, he will substitute for any of the other standard symbols. However, when he appears on the sixth reel, he'll be stacked, triggering the feature Vampire Bat Respin. This is pretty limited as it only gives one respin, and no retriggers or free spins can be won from it. 

However, things are only just hotting up as there are also scatters on the board. Land between three and six to receive 10-25 Bloodlust Free Spins. For the bonus, you’ll get to choose undead maiden to play with: 

●     Rebecca - every wild has a multiplier attached, which can be multiplied together if more than one land to receive up to x81. If a Vampire Bat Respin is triggered, Rebecca turns wild for the respin.

●     Margaret - every time a wild lands, a multiplier is collected. When four wilds have landed, you'll receive two extra spins, and the multiplier will increase by +1. If a Vampire Bat Respin is triggered, Margaret turns wild for the respin.

●     Laura - every time a wild lands, it expands by one position vertically, either up or down. If a Vampire Bat Respin is triggered, Laura turns wild for the respin. 

As an extra factor to consider, there are no scatters if you choose Margaret. For Laura and Rebecca, the scatters are available and can retrigger the bonus.
