Vampires vs Wolves Slot

A slot from Pragmatic Play based on a vampires and werewolves theme, and has just 10 paylines and 5 reels with a min bet of just 0.10 per spin making it suitable for low rollers if that is what you prefer.

The best thing about this slot is the feature and for that you will need to get a scatter on reel 1 and a scatter on reel 5 and then you get to choose a feature, I always like it when a slot gives the player the option to choose what type of feature they would prefer, high volatility or low volatility and this is the case when it comes to this slot where you can opt for the Wolves with the lower volatility or go with the vampires and their high volatility. I would choose the wolves as I have found the vampires give far too often smallish wins although you can sometimes get a low win on the wolves but less frequent.

During my play on this slot I have found that the slot features have been hitting at around 122 spins which is quite good for a slot in this day and age. The best one I have had (my very first feature on it during the very first real modes session) was almost 138x and I am sure I could improve on that if I play it more times as I have only had less than 400 spins on it so far. Average feature paid almost 70x and while I have only had 3 features on it so far that is good average for now.

When it comes to the base game I was surprised with a well paying 80x during one of the sessions that I have had on this slot game, thus there is potential when it comes to the base game if that is something that is important to you because when it comes to slots some of that RTP is going to come from the base game and you need a good base game in order to have the balance to reach the features during a session.

The sound and music is suitable for a theme with a vampire/werewolves type of them and Pragmatic Play doesn’t dissapoint with the background music and the sound effects as they are experts at it.

As for the RTP that is with this slot, it runs on on over 96.49% and that is the setting I played it at and would recommend playing a slot on it’s max RTP version over any lower RTP versions.

One of my features on the wolves version paid so low that it left my quite dissapointed with a low paying 6.9x, this is not what you would expect from the wolves features and should be something that is common for the vampires features but it is what it is. You also have to deal with a low of times where you get the scatter on reel 1 but no scatter shows up on reel 5 but when a scatter does show up on reel 5 you don’t have a scatter on reel 1. Or sometimes you will get a slow moving scatter on reel 5 and then when the reels stop it is not in place for the trigger to be activated. It needs to fill up the entire 5th reel for it to count.

Werewolves and vampires are both mythical creatures who kill humans but there are important differences between the two. Werewolves are mortal and age just like humans while vampires don't age and are immortal (except for some things that can kill them like sunlight and garlic). Hehe!

This ‘Vampires vs Wolves’ video slot developed by Pragmatic Play with 5 reels/10 Paylines filled with those creatures of the Night. Players goal is, to land 2 Scatter symbols one, on first and fifth reel. Activation will reward one of two Free spins rounds with either 8 or 14 Free spins on offer. During these rounds, symbols will transform on the special reels to increase the possible payouts.

My first sessions with this slot, showed me not to trust vampires and wolves -especially when it has- such a low paytable. With some difficulty I managed to land the Bonus with a disappointing result. Maybe some other Night - Maybe some other time!

Vampires vs Wolves is a 5 reel and 10 payline slot from Pragmatic Play that was released sometime last year. In the past months I've been more open to the idea of exploring new game providers and Pragmatic Play was one of them. 

The game is inspired by the very popular theme of Vampires and Wolves, it's not something very unique but I generally like the theme if it's well executed. And I believe that Pragmatic Play has done a nice job in terms of design and graphics.The game payouts though make me think that this game is very volatile- in my experience so far the base game payouts are quite low- I've had many dead spins and not a single win on base game over 40x bet. 

Then on the other side, while I'm not a big fan of the base game, I do enjoy the bonus round. In order to trigger it, you need to get stacked bonus symbols on reels 1 and 5, you will get to choose from 2 free spins bonuses. There are two options- low volatility and high volatility- I always go for the high volatility one as it seems to be more exciting. The bonus reminds me of Vampires slot by Merkur with the difference being, whenever vampire symbols land during free spins, they can be turned into wilds that are sticky for the remaining free spins. I have to admit, for the most part I've got dead spins or wins below 50x bet, but I've also had a few higher wins due to many wilds and my best one so far has been 160x bet win on minimum stakes.

All in all, this is a decent game, design is good and there is potential. However, it's a very volatile game, base game gives rare and small wins and while the free spins have potential, it can be either hit or a miss. Also I would recommend to be careful with the stakes- I always play it with minimums and even then I usually end up with a loss.

Vampires Vs Wolves remind me of other games (by other providers) like Wild Blood, The Bloodsuckers, and even of Immortal Romance, but after playing this game, I can say that Vampires Vs Wolves doesn’t play, or even pay, like any of the mentioned games. This is a medium volatility game, so don’t go expecting to get nice big wins from it, although it is possible, but most probably like once in a lifetime chance.

The symbols have male and female icons, just as in Immortal Romance, but their win values are not as good. Getting 5 Wilds would pay 100x the total bet, the top 2 male symbols would pay 80x, the Free Spins Bonus symbols, appearing only on reel 1 and 5, are both non-paying, both the Free Spins Modes are without any win multipliers, and no retriggers are possible either, so I don’t like this setup at all – lots of winning chances are being omitted! Not to forget that this game plays with only 10 paylines, so there’d be plenty of missed wins too.

You can choose to play the Wolves 14 free spins, or play the Vampires 8 free spins, the latter offering much bigger winning possibilities with its Sticky Wilds feature, but needless to say, those Sticky Wilds do not occur often and not many in numbers too, so this mode tend to pay less more frequently. If you want more wins, then play the Wolves choice, but expect to get only mediocre wins.

I have given this game many plays, have chosen each of the 2 Free Spins mode many times, but all I could win up to now is a mere 85x my staked amount, which, by any standards, is rather poor. Yes, it may be possible to get all 15 Wild symbols on the reels, for the maximum possible win of 1000x the staked amount, but I’m not really bothered too much about that, because I still cannot get one blardy simple 100x win! Sheesh! The base game play may see several Wild symbols on the reels, but they may not create any wins at all, simply because they landed on non-winning paylines – very annoying indeed! In short, Vampires Vs Wolves is one game I would like to avoid playing!

Vampires vs Wolves was released by pragmatic play recently and one of newest online slots. The graphics are superb with a creepy sound track which adds to the atmosphere since its vampire theme slot.

Set under a floodlit street, symbols include diamond, club, heart and spade gemstones. You’ll also see various characters on the reels. The vampire with the white hair is the most lucrative giving you 2.5, 12.5 or 80 times your stake for 3, 4 or 5 on a payline respectively. There’s also a wild symbol that replaces all symbols but the scatter. 3, 4 or 5 will reward you with 2.5, 15 or 100 times your stake.

Vampires vs Wolves comes with 2 scatters, a howling wolf and a creepy castle. Appearing only on reels 1 and 5, when they appear fully on both those reels, you will enter the free spins. You then choose from the Wolf Free Spins feature or the Vampire Free Spins feature.

In the Wolf Free Spins feature, you get 14 free spins - During the feature, 3 of the character symbols (the ones with a blue border) transform into werewolves. These werewolves, along with the wild, will replace each other to form winning combinations. These werewolf symbols also pay like the high value wild.

In the Vampire Free Spins feature, you will receive 8 free spins. The 3-character symbols with a red border become vampire symbols. When 1 of the vampire symbols hits, it can randomly become a wild and remain locked in position for the duration of the feature. In effect, you get sticky wilds.

The Wolf free spins are low volatility while the vampire spins are high volatility. I choose vampire spins all the time but have not hit x100 win yet and the free spins can take forever to trigger. Although the base game gives out wins often, smaller wins though.
