In recent years there has been a vampire surge in our global culture. Vampires range from the tame to the sadistic. Strangely, there haven't been any recent Blade movies to take part in this new found public interest. It seems that the only place where the franchise is still active is in the “real” of slot gaming, curtesy of Playtech.
The theme in the Blade Slot game could be called "metal and blood in the night". The game is composed of 5 reels and 20 paylines, the reel markers are red whilst the control buttons have been made to look metallic. The spin button has splashes of blood! Yummy detail !
The animations are in line with the theme, symbols such 10, J, Q, K, A have blood oozing from them, if they are aligned in a winning combination. Other symbols include the famous boomerang blade, silver stakes to take care of annoying vampires, guns for mass destruction, vampires, blade's own logo, Blade's split icon ant, not to forget, the vampire hunter himself.
Beting, features, bonuses, Scatter and Wild symbols
Coins in blade start at $0.01 and end at $5.00 on a given payline. This will encourage big and small spenders alike. However, the most interesting parts of the game are its features and bonuses
The game has several bonuses and features. Players should expect to find some unique features. Be ready for some serious vampire ass-kicking!
Blade Split Feature
The Blade slot game, has its own unique feature the Blade Split. What happens when the feature is activated is that the players receive more money.
Blade's sword slashes the last symbol, if it appears anywhere on the screen, and by doing so it increase your payout by making a doubling of the last symbol. Drastically increasing your chances of winning! The best part is that if you manage to get 6 Wild symbols (Blade himself) by this feature you can get a mind blowing 25, 000x your line payout. However, this might make you wonder why I said 6 wild symbols since there are only 5 reels, as I mentioned the blade slot symbol will double the symbol it is next to, if it is in final position, it will act as the number 5 and number 6 symbol respectively.
Blade Wild symbol
The vampire hunter himself is this game's Wild symbol. If he appears as a Wild in a winning combination he’ll shoot and replace any other symbol on the reels.
Blade – Scatter Symbol and Bonus
The scatter symbol is represented by the Blade logo, and it can pop-up at any place on reels. If you spin up 3, 4 or 5 scatters then your payout will be either 6x, 66x or 666x your line bet respectively.
If you get three or more scatters anywhere on the reels, you will get into a bonus game. Prepare to recieve 15 free spins with a growing multiplier. You can also win an infinite number of free games in the free games round. In these bonus rounds the Scatter symbol will act like an extra wild and will replace any symbol except the Wild and the Blade Split symbol.
The free games also have a random initial multiplyer of x2, x3, x4 or x5. Which will increase after each winning spin by 1 but shall never exceed x5. If you happen to lose then the multiplier shall drop by one but will never be under x2.
The marvel progressive jackpot.
“All marvel game are united by the mystery progressive jackpot, meaning that whatever marvel themed game you chose to play, you have a shot at landing it big, truly big. The mystery jackpot is named as such because it can be triggered by any symbol combination. The best shot for you to get in is to play it big.
