Vampire Senpai Online Slot Machine – Free Play & Review

The zombie/vampire genre is one that has a lot of fans these days, but it might surprise you to find out that it’s not unique to the modern era. Go back to the legends of China for example, and you will find in those stories mentions to creatures that take away the life force of people. Quickspin turned these creatures into a slot machine theme, so we have vampires of sorts inside, featured in a cartoon-style of the highest quality.

Symbols that were selected for this game include images of Royals initially, but you then get some more interesting icons as well, with three characters that are colored in purple, red or green. If you look at the number of times that a themed symbol shows up on those reels, you might not like the slot’s design as much, since the low value Royals will typically be in the majority.

Developer

It’s a Quickspin design, and that means that you’re going to find excellent graphics, along with some interesting features. It’s a modern developer, without any major ties to the land-based market, so I’m always a fan of the content they put out, at least visually.

How To Play It

You get to pick your bet, and it will activate all lines, while allowing you to spend between $0.10 and $100 per spin.

What the game offers in exchange, is 40 lines available on 5×5 reels, which feels like too big of an area to get paid through. Wins will form with 3+ matching symbols that appear left to right on a line.

Special Features

Vampire Wilds are symbols that act as substitutes, and which can spread across the reels. When they land, they bite any human icons of medium value found next to them, and transform them. These are then Turned Wilds, but they too can transform other neighboring symbols. Unfortunately, there are more Royals than Human characters on the reels, but you can still get quite an interesting result out of this, when everything lines up just right for you.

Scatters are available, and the player may use them to reach the free spins. In this mode, you can get 7 to 12 free games, depending on how many of the 3 to 5 scatters you had land. You then retrigger this feature by getting 1 extra round for every new wild that lands.

For this particular mode, they change the wild symbol a bit, so that it remains available for all the free spins. It just moves to a different location each round, and it keeps infecting any neighboring Humans.

Sticky Talisman Wilds are going to be available during the free games, as a random feature. Up to 9 will be added in random locations, on the first four reels.

Maximum Payouts

Vampire Senpai is a slot machine whose volatility is described as a medium, which means that it strikes a balance between the amount of risk involved in a gaming session, and the kind of payouts which are possible as a result.

It’s impressive to me, that it manages to offer top payouts of up to 8,894x total stake, as a game with only medium volatility. RTP is average, at the 96.19% which is mentioned.

Summary

Vampire Senpai looks interesting story wise, and I do like the game’s potential and features as well. What I didn’t love, is the small number of active lines which are present on the 5×5 reels that are used here, it all feels just a bit too spread out.
