Vampires vs Werewolves Slot Machine
Vampires vs Werewolves slots is a five-reel, 20-payline slot brought to you by developers Amaya Gaming. It is a horror-themed game focusing on the battle between two mythical, nocturnal creatures. Because of this, the symbols are styled after various characters and objects of the occult, with cloves of garlic, bloody daggers, a bible, and a flintlock pistol. The low-value symbols are represented by the standard playing cards A, K, Q, and J. There are a few special icons in the game, the first of which is the wild, which is shown as a woman wearing a crucifix. On top of this, the game features three bonus symbols; two scatters, a vampire and werewolf, plus a bonus symbol displayed as the two characters transforming. The latter will trigger the bonus round, which is a snakes and ladders-inspired minigame.
There are loads of slot themes out there; mythological games, fruit machines, and space-age adventures are all standard fare. However, one sorely neglected genre is that of horror, where the subject matter is focused on all manner of ghouls that go bump in the night. There are certainly a few out there, but compared to the plethora of titles in other oeuvres, it’s a bit perplexing that the popularity of horror hasn’t translated to the world of online slots. Well, one developer looking to remedy that is Amaya Gaming, with its latest slot Vampires vs Werewolves. It’s a Spooktacular slot featuring all manner of mythical frights but, don’t worry, there are no scares in the gameplay department, as this game features a great user interface and an intriguing bonus round.
Visuals and Paytable
Most of the time when we look at a slot's visuals, bright, bold colours are what we normally praise. However, the criteria are a little redundant here, because that kind of pallet would be completely at odds with the theme. Instead, Amaya has gone for a decidedly dark look, with sombre shades of black prevalent throughout. The backdrop is covered in a sinister fog, where a gothic castle and sprawling forest can also be seen. The symbols are illustrated well too, and the fear factor is clear with ferocious monsters and a variety of occult-themed objects. The animations all function perfectly too and there are never any visual bugs.
So, the game looks good, but what about the value? The most valuable symbol in the game is the wild, which will award a huge payout of 37,500 coins. After this, we come to the base game symbols, with the garlic clove worth the most at a value of 2500 coins. The dagger and bible follow closely, with both valued at 1250 coins. Finally, there is the flintlock pistol, which is worth 625 coins.
Bonus Features
Vampire/ Werewolf Scatter Bonuses
To trigger this bonus, you will have to land the vampire scatter on the first reel and, simultaneously, the werewolf one on the fifth. You will initially be awarded a prize payout, but this can be increased if any symbols on the reels contain a crucifix, so you could end up with an even better payout.
Round the Board Feature
This feature is the highlight of the slot. A minigame not unlike snakes and ladders that can award some lovely payouts if you’re fortunate. To trigger it, you’ll have to land the scatter on the second, third, and fourth reels in a single spin. You will be taken to a new screen and asked to pick a character to play as; the vampire or the werewolf. You must then roll virtual device to move along the board, with ladders giving you a boost and pipes thwarting your progress. Land on garlic for the werewolf or the pistol for vampire and you will get a ‘lifesaver’, which will allow you to continue playing if you land on one of the stopper positions. The further you get, the better your potential prizes will be, so this can quite a rewarding round.
