We never tire of good old vampires, and why not throw some werewolves into the mix while you’re at it? This is probably what Pragmatic Play was thinking with Vampires vs Wolves, and the result is actually pretty good. The soundtrack in particular is very well done, and the visuals are up to snuff as well.

Everything runs on 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 paylines, and you can place bets up to £50 on all devices and platforms. Apart from a high paying wild symbol, the base game is pretty empty for bonus features. It’s really all about the free spins features here, and you can choose between a vampire option and a werewolf option.

The volatility and wild features are the only real difference, but you can still win 1000x your bet on both features. Having options is always nice, but the game would have benefited from more action in the base game and a more solid potential. The theme has been used many times before, but Pragmatic Play has managed to create a pretty original looking slot in a crowded genre.

What are the symbols?

The game contains an atmospheric and eerie soundtrack, and on the reels there is a combination of werewolves and vampires (the red and blue border is the easiest way to tell them apart). Anyway, here is the paytable for the Vampires vs Wolves slot:

• Wild symbol – Pays 100x for 5 on a payline.
• White-haired vampire – Pays 80x for 5 on a payline
• Black Haired Werewolf – Pays 80x for 5 on a payline
• Female Werewolf – Pays 50x for 5 on a payline
• Female Vampire – Pays 50x for 5 on a payline
• Brown Haired Werewolf – Pays 18x for 5 on a payline
• Purple Haired Vampire – Pays 18x for 5 on a payline
• Card Suit Symbols – Pays between 10x and 3x for 5 on a payline

What are the bonus features?

Vampires vs Wolves is really all about the free spins feature, but there is a high quality wild symbol that you can use to get some nice wins in the base game as well.

Free Spins in Vampires vs Wolves

There are 2 different free spins features in Vampires vs Wolves and the game also includes 2 different scatter symbols. One scatter is a howling wolf and the other is a vampire castle. These scatters only land on reels 1 and 5, and they trigger the free spins when they appear fully stacked at the same time.

You can then choose whether you want the vampire free spins or the werewolf free spins. The Vampire option gives you 8 spins, and this option is somewhat volatile. The red outlined vampire symbols act as sticky wilds during this feature.

The Werewolf option gives you 14 free spins, and this option has lower volatility. The werewolf symbols with the blue border become high paying wild symbols, so you can play with 3 extra wilds throughout the feature.

What is the jackpot (maximum win)?

You will not find a jackpot at the Vampires vs Wolves slot. There are neither progressive nor fixed jackpots included here. However, you can win some decent payouts in this game, although the potential is not huge. The maximum win is 1000 times your bet, and you can win this in one of the free spins features. Play with the highest possible bet of £50, and you can pocket up to £50,000 here.
