The maximum potential win in this game is 12,500 times the bet. The game centres around a thematic design, incorporating wilds, multipliers, and various bonus mechanics.

Key Features

Expanded Bloody Wilds

When a Blood symbol lands, it may expand into a Bloody Wild if it is part of a winning combination. The Bloody Wild expands downward from the top of the reel to cover all symbols down to the Blood symbol, turning them into Wilds for that spin. Each reel can have only one Blood symbol at any time.

Expanded Bloody Wilds can either act as standard Wild symbols or reveal a Multiplier. Possible Multiplier values for Bloody Wilds are: Wild, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 10x, 25x, 50x, 100x, and 500x. When more than one expanded Bloody Wild with a Multiplier appears in a winning combination, the Multiplier values are added together before being applied to the win.

Wild Bat Symbols

Wild Bat symbols can also appear with Multiplier values: Wild, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 10x, 25x, 50x, 100x, or 500x. If several Wild Bat Multipliers are involved in a single win, their Multiplier values are summed and then used to enhance the win. If Wild Bat Multipliers and an expanded Bloody Wild Multiplier are involved in a win, all values are combined for the total Multiplier.

An Epic Wild Bat symbol can land on the grid carrying one of these Multiplier values. When active, its Multiplier is spread to all expanded Bloody Wild and Wild Bat symbols on the grid. Only one Epic Wild Bat symbol may appear per spin.
