Blade slot Review
Now here’s a game you can really sink your teeth into. Whether it’s the original comic books or the successful movies starring Wesley Snipes or even the not so successful TV show with Kirk Jones, you’ll love this slot adaptation of ‘Blade’ by Playtech.
Believe it or not but ‘Blade’ first made his appearance in Marvel Comics back in 1973. The vampire hunter has been battling away ever since. Playtech were created a year after ‘Blade’ celebrated its 25th anniversary and their slot games have been just as successful as ‘Blade.’
This is a five-reel game with a total of 20 paylines for you to play. The number you choose to activate isn’t fixed so you have to make that decision yourself. The cost of playing this game goes from £0.05 to £5.00, so if you activate all 20 lines then then the maximum bet here is £10. Not one for the high rollers then and you shouldn’t have much problem working out a financial budget you can bet with.
The symbols used in this game are a mixture of theme-related ones and the usual selection of playing cards (ten to Ace). We get a female vampire who looks as if she’s getting ready for her next meal and it’s not fish and chips. There’s also ‘Blade’ himself and some of the weapons he uses to get rid of those pesky vampires.
The top prize is 25,000x your wager if you can get six of the ‘Blade’ symbols. Now hang on a minute didn’t I tell you that there’s five reels in this game. Well yes there are but all will be explained when I tell you about the bonus game in this slot.
The ‘Blade’ symbol is also the wild here, well it is his game and with all that weaponry on show, if he wants to be the wild than he can. This symbol really helps you get some winning combinations because it can substitute for all the other symbols apart from the scatter symbol and the ‘Blade Split’ symbol.
Bonus Games
If you can get three of the scatter symbols anywhere on the reels then this not only gives you a cash prize but 15 free spins. The scatter has a bit of an identity crisis during the free spins as it becomes another wild. Not just that but there’s a multiplier on the loose too. At the start of the free spins this is 2x but each win moves it up one to a maximum of 5x. However, if you get a spin that doesn’t produce a win it drops the multiplier down one level but will always be at least 2x.
The Blade Split symbol really is one to look out for. It’s only on the fifth reels and when it makes an appearance it triggers the ‘Blade Symbol Split Feature.’ Now this is where the six of a kind comes into play because if the Blade Split symbol turns up it divides into two.
There’s also a Marvel Multi-Level Mystery Progressive Jackpot in ‘Blade.’ There’s four jackpots in all – Power, Extra Power, Super Power and Ultimate Power. The more you gamble on this game the more likely you’ll get the jackpot. The jackpot can be awarded at random and a jackpot screen will suddenly pop up. There’s a 5x4 grid of squares and you have to select squares to reveal jackpot symbols. When three identical ones are revealed then you win that jackpot.
Conclusion
There's certainly lots going on in this game. It's easy to play and the bonus rounds with the multipliers and split symbols really keep you on your toes. No need to have any garlic with you when playing this and it won't make you cross.
