Spinning Stats
Crypt of the Vampires slot game is a 5-reel slot, with 432 paylines which gives plenty of different ways to win whilst spinning the reels. The design of the reels is unique and not something we have come across before. Reels 1 and 5 are four symbols high, whilst reels 2, 3 and 4 are only three symbols high.
The reels are set in stone and if you look hard enough, you will be able to see they are set within an ancient building with stained glass windows, cobwebs and many statues. The sounds that accompany the game are eerie and drag you into the game.
There are four vampire characters; 2 males – Gabriel and Oliver and 2 females – Elizabeth and Sophie, who have the power to expand over your reels to give a bigger payout potential.
Beneath your reels are 30 different candles which add another twist to this slot machine – more about that later. Symbols that you will encounter on the reels are; silver crucifix, wooden stakes, garlic, tombstone, silver cup full of blood, bat, the four vampire characters, bonus symbol and candles.
High Stakes
The maximum that can be won from this non-progressive jackpot game is 400x your stake, which is rather lucrative when you are playing 200.00 a go. The red vampire (Gabriel) symbol is your jackpot symbol and will award that jackpot for spinning in five symbols on your active payline.
The vampires are the key to the biggest wins, especially when you spin in five of a kind.
