Slot Features
We already got used to Elk powered slots to have Betting Strategies, and we all know that strategies are all that matters if you want to win a war. You will get to choose from these 4 strategies: Optimizer, Leveller, Jumper and Booster, or create your own that you think will help you win this.
Optimizer will change bet level automatically adapting to the selected percentage of your balance. Leveller strategy will raise a bet after 5 consecutive losses, and repetition will increase the bet 2 more levels. This will reset after a win. Booster raises a bet by 1 level after a loss, and it resets after a win. All of these go up until reaching 4 levels above base bet. Jumper will raise the bet 1 level after every winning round, until reaching 4 levels above the base bet, and it will reset after a loss.
Wild
Wild symbol can substitute for any other symbol in the game except for the Respin and the Bonus Scatter symbols.
Respin Symbol
Respin symbol can land only on reel 5, and once it does land there, it will trigger the Boosted Respin feature.
Boosted Respin
A random symbol in the view will get selected once the feature is triggered, and then all the instances of this symbol in the view and all Bonus Scatters will remain sticky for the duration of one awarded respin.
Boosted Stacks
All reels have stacks of identical symbols, and at a beginning of each spin, random symbols can be chosen to fill these stacks. Different reels may contain different symbols during Boosted Stacks.
Free Spins
Bonus symbol is the Scatter, and landing 3 of them can trigger the Free Spins round. The number of symbols spaces within the rectangular area that surrounds all the Scatters in view will define the number of free spins awarded. Each Bonus Scatter accounts for 1 spin plus the each empty space that allows 1 spin.
All vampire symbols that land in the view during the feature will get counted. Once the meter is full, all instances of that vampire on the reels will get replaced by the Dracula symbol which will be active until the feature ends.
Summary
Blood Lust leaves us with the feeling of action packed, feature-rich game. However, despite the many features it offers, the overall gameplay seems nothing than basic. Visually, the game is nothing too spectacular either, it’s just average. On the other hand, it is highly volatile game with maximum payout capped at x2500, you will have to wait for those payouts, but once they hit, they hit big. Give it a shot, and let us know what you think.
Blood Lust is another great highly volatile release from Elk studios. They have great taste the past year and released some awesome highly volatile slots. What I like is their idea/concepts on each slot which is absolutely brilliant since they moved away from that 178 pay lines slot. I like the standard 25 – 30 pay lines or 243 ways pay slots better to be honest.
This vampire theme slot has a bonus feature and re-spins feature. There are the suit symbols with low values and then 4 characters, obviously 4 of them like most other slots like immortal romance etc. 2 Girls and 2 boys and they are the high pay values which pays x40 your stake for the highest paid. The reels spin in form of stacks, similar like Neon Staxx from NetEnt. A Random symbol is chosen and comes in stacked on the reels however, when the reels stopped, they are nowhere to be found unless it’s the low value symbols. This feature makes it difficult for bonus scatter symbols to land as well, so the slot can take forever to bonus.
The re-spin feature is when you land the re-spin feature on reel 5. A symbol is selected and sticky on the reels and creating chances to get more symbols on more paylines for big wins. You can land the re-spins symbol twice or 3 times and the payout is awarded after each spin. If you land a bonus symbol and another re-spin it is sticky, then if you can land more you can trigger bonus during re-spin.
Landing 3 bonus symbols anywhere will award the free spins feature. The number of free spins awarded if determined by how the scatters are distributed on the reels. The bigger the rectangular area they cover, the free spins you’ll play with. For example, getting a bonus scatter at the top of reel 1, top of reel 5 and bottom of reel 3 will to a 5x3 rectangular area and therefore 15 free spins. You can get between 4 and 15 free spins initially.
All high value vampire symbols that land on the reels during the free spins are counted. When a vampire meter is full, all instances of that vampire will be replaced with Dracula symbols for the remainder of the feature. This means higher value symbols on the reels which can lead to bigger wins. You’ll also get 1 additional free spin for each meter you fill. You can re-trigger unlimited free spins.
Take caution as this is highly volatile, I once went over 600 spins without a bonus, but the balance did not decrease too much. I like the slot though.
