Play Vampires for Free

As with other online slots for real money you'll find, if you want to win big bucks you need to get off of the play for fun mode and play for real. Sometimes this idea can scare people as they worry about whether the cost of the bet is too steep, but with Vampires it’s unlikely you’ll be betting anything you can’t afford.

This is because the beginning amount is very small: a total of 0.10 per payline, meaning you play with 2.00 credits overall. For those out there that want a more intense and nerveracking ride with their money, you can crank it up to 4.00 per line which totals at 80.00 credits.

Should you wish to bet with the max amount of cash but not on all the paylines, you can reduce them prior to your game, though you may be initially stumped about how to actually do that. That’s because Play Pearls has streamlined their control panel to remove the lines button, leaving the tweaking to the numbers on either side of the matrix itself. Just tap the number you want and the lines will change to accommodate; it’s a system we love and would like to see in more slots.

Other than that there is only the autoplay button to investigate, should you so wish. It is one of the easier formats to use as it requires no adjusting to launch it: just select it and the reels will do the rest.

It’s sad but painfully true that the graphics here are a bit lacklustre - it looks like Play Pearls have gone for a retro texture but ended up slightly off mark. Nonetheless, it is still a charming slot design in its own right, you just need to look a bit closer to see it.

Most of the icons players will see are generic card suits, with the splatters of blood placed to try and offset that fact. As the way they look is quite bland you’d expect the values they carry to be the same, but they’re not, in fact these tiles tend to be among the highest in the entire game. The A alone will get you 30.00 credits per five of them, with only the free spins rivalling that with 40.00 for every five, not to mention a range of extra rounds should you be lucky enough.

What this means is that the unique looking symbols, the ones actually tied in with the theme, offer very little in the way of monetary gains; among the lowest are the stakes and fangs at just 5.00 credits for every five you match. That means that every three tiles only gives 0.50!

Vampires is an average title from Play earls, but it’s an enjoyable one if you look past the lack of refinement; it feels quite a raw experience, but that seems to add to the novelty theme in which you play.

The payouts aren’t anything to get excited about, but you can still bag yourself a decent amount of extra cash, especially from those free spins.
