Blood Suckers Megaways

By Becky Mosley | Updated 16 July 2026

Blood Suckers Megaways takes the franchise NetEnt built back in 2013 and hands it to Red Tiger Gaming, who’ve bolted on the Megaways engine and pushed the volatility to high. Released in January 2023, it’s the third entry in the Blood Suckers line, and it comes with one stat worth noticing before anything else: a default RTP of 97.66%. That’s not just above average. It’s one of the highest you’ll find on any Megaways slot, full stop.

The setup is a 6-reel, variable-row grid running anywhere from 64 to 117,649 ways to win depending on how the reels land. Add cascading wins, random base game modifiers, and a free spins round where you pick your own bonus features from coffins, and there’s a lot going on beneath the gothic window dressing. But does the maths hold up in practice? We spent a proper session finding out.

Quick Facts

Technical Features

Six reels, each showing between two and seven symbols per spin. When the grid maxes out, that’s 117,649 ways to win. The RTP is 97.66% by default, though operators can dial it down to 94.68%, 92.77%, or 90.77%, so check with your casino before playing. UK sites generally run the top figure. Hit frequency sits around 23.8%, so you’ll land a win on roughly one in four spins, which is fair for a high-volatility game.

The max win is 20,521x your stake. With bets capped at £4.00 in the UK, the ceiling works out to around £82,000 from a single spin. Respectable, but that £4.00 cap means this isn’t a slot for anyone wanting to push bigger stakes. The minimum bet is £0.20, and autoplay is available if you’d rather let it run.

Design and Theme

Victorian town, dead of night, fog rolling under a full moon. It’s textbook gothic horror, and Red Tiger have made it feel genuinely oppressive without tipping into camp. When a base game modifier fires, the screen flushes red and a coffin animation takes over – a clean visual cue that something is about to happen.

The soundtrack leans eerie, all minor keys and tension, and it holds up well enough to leave running. The symbols are close relatives of the original Blood Suckers set, which gives the game continuity rather than the feel of a cheap reskin. If you played the 2013 original, the aesthetic will be immediately familiar.

Symbols and Paytable

Low-value symbols are the vampire hunter’s toolkit: garlic, crossbows, daggers, holy bibles, and holy water. They keep the theme grounded and pay modestly. High-value symbols are the monsters: a female vampire, a Succubus, Nosferatu, an aristocrat, and Vlad the Impaler at the top of the paytable.

Wilds come in two types. Standard Vampire Bite Wilds substitute for everything except scatters. Super Wilds carry multipliers up to 7x, and when those land during cascading wins, the numbers can move fast. The scatter is the Vampire Bride – land three or more anywhere on the reels and you’re into the free spins round.

Bonus Features

Cascading wins run throughout. Every winning combination clears from the grid and new symbols drop in, giving you multiple chances from a single paid spin. Standard Megaways behaviour, but it keeps momentum going.

On any base game spin, a random modifier can kick in. The screen turns red, a coffin appears, and opening it gives you one of four features: Random Wilds scattered across the grid, Super Wild Reels with multipliers up to 7x, a Bonus Scatter, or a Win Multiplier up to 5x. You don’t pick which one in the base game. That control comes later.

Free spins trigger when three or more Vampire Bride scatters land. You start with five free spins, and each triggering scatter awards one Pick for the Picker Feature. You’re shown ten closed coffins and use your Picks to open them. Each reveals a feature: Random Wilds, Super Wilds, Bonus Spins, or a Wins Multiplier. Whatever you activate stays live for the entire free spins round.

That picker mechanic gives you real agency. Stack multipliers if you’re feeling aggressive, or load up on extra spins for a longer session. In testing, picking both Random Wilds and Super Wilds together created some heavily loaded reels, with Super Wilds landing on the middle four reels first and Randoms filling the gaps. When cascades keep rolling with multipliers active, the numbers can get absurd.

Worth noting: a Bonus Buy option exists but is disabled for UK players under UKGC regulations. You’ll need to trigger free spins the old-fashioned way.
