You know what’s funny? The Vampires looks more like a 90s horror board game than a slot machine. And that’s not an insult. There’s something retro in how it leans into the gothic theme — like it never got the memo that vampires are supposed to sparkle now.
It’s moody, but not dramatic. Low-budget Hammer Films kind of moody. Candles, blood-red fonts, portraits that seem like they’d blink if you stared long enough. And under all that… it’s actually a decent slot.
Amatic again. Yeah — not the flashiest developer, but they have this niche: they build games that look like they’d be on a machine next to the cigarette vending unit in an old casino. The Vampires fits right in.
It’s 5 reels, 3 rows, 50 paylines. Nothing tricky. No Megaways, no cluster payouts, just regular ol’ spin-and-hope. Honestly, that’s part of the charm. It doesn’t throw a hundred features at you — it picks one mechanic and runs with it.
There’s a scatter — the coffin. You get enough of them, and the bonus game triggers. It’s a free spins round with a twist: a vampire symbol expands, turning other symbols wild during the bonus. If it hits, it hits hard.
But that’s the thing — it doesn’t always hit. Sometimes the bonus round feels like it came too soon, didn’t build tension. Other times, you get 200x and sit there blinking, wondering what just happened.
No respins. No second chances. You get what you get.

That RTP might be rounded — I’ve seen sites list it slightly differently.
The Vampires isn’t loud. It’s not modern. It doesn’t try to impress. But it gets something right — atmosphere, maybe. Or pacing. Or that weird feeling that you’re playing something designed before the “era of optimization.”
You might forget about it five minutes after playing. Or, more likely, you’ll come back to it in a week, wondering why it still feels oddly satisfying to spin. It’s not perfect. But it doesn’t fake anything either. And in today’s slot world, that’s worth something.
