Special Features

Vampires vs Wolves features an interesting mix of various Vampires and Wolves that appear on the reels as you play the game. The most profitable symbol out of these is the Vampire with white hair as it pays out a fine 80X your wager for landing 5 on a winning payline.

Similar to most online slots, this game features a Wild symbol which is illustrated by the word ‘Wild’ that’s placed inside a gold and brown frame. This symbol substitutes for all other symbols apart from the Scatters to help form winning combinations. It is also the most valuable symbol in the game as if you are lucky enough to land 5 on a payline then you will be leaving the battle with a nice cash prize worth 100X your stake!

Unusually, the game features 2 Scatters which are images of a Howling Wolf and a Tall Castle. These symbols appear only on reels 1 and 5 and when these reels are fully covered with Scatters then you will trigger the exciting Free Spins feature. Once activated, you will then get to choose from either the Wolf Free Spins feature or the Vampire Free Spins feature.

The Wolf Free Spins feature awards 14 Free Spins and during this feature symbols with a blue border will transform into Werewolves. These Werewolves, along with the Wild, replace all other symbols to help create winning combinations and pay out the same amount as the Wild symbol. In essence, it is like playing with 3 Extra Wilds. Unfortunately, this feature cannot be retriggered.

In the Vampire Free Spins feature, you will be given 8 Free Spins. Characters with red borders will become Vampires here. Whenever one of the Vampire symbols hits, it has a random chance to become a Wild and when this happens then it will lock into place and become sticky until the end of the feature. So basically it is Free Spins with Sticky Wilds. Once more, this feature cannot be retriggered.

Theme, Graphics and Sound

In terms of graphics, Pragmatic Play have smashed it out of the park here as the upcoming battle takes place inside an old town at night with a full moon in the sky and rolling mist on the ground. It is highly polished and visually stunning to look at. Symbols in the game consist of a bunch of Vampire and Werewolves along with classic Heart/Diamond/Spade/Club playing card icons. Each one is expertly designed and wonderfully rendered onscreen. The animations are smooth as symbols fall neatly into place onto the reels. It is particularly fun when you land a winning combination as symbols burst into life as they enlarge and glisten on the reels or when symbols dramatically transform into Vampires or Wolves in the Free Spins feature.

The music is upbeat and features an atmospheric carnival-themed soundtrack. It actually works quite well with the fast-paced nature of the game.

Our Verdict on Vampires vs Wolves

Popular software producer Pragmatic Play created this extremely entertaining slot where thankfully both Vampires and Werewolves emerge victoriously! Featuring outstanding graphics and animations as well as a slew of rewarding bonus features, it’s one battle definitely worth taking part in! The star attraction of the game is, without doubt, the Free Spins feature and it’s just great that you have 2 different Free Spins options to choose from here. It adds a nice layer of variety to the gameplay. Players should keep in mind that the Wolf Free Spins feature is the Low variance option whereas the Vampire Free Spins feature is the High variance option. The only downside to both Free Spins features is that their winning potential is a bit low as you can only win a top prize worth 1,000X your bet here. In terms of variance, I found this game to be Medium so you will find that wins occur quite often the more you spin those reels. For even more Vampires and Werewolves fun on the reels, check out the excellent Blood Suckers II and Wolf Hunters.
