Overview
The Blood Suckers Series is a vampire-themed slot series from NetEnt. It stays true to classic horror imagery like dark castles, coffins, wooden stakes, and bats. The first game, Blood Suckers, was released on November 10, 2009, and with an official NetEnt RTP of 98%, it always comes up in talk of the “highest-RTP slot.”
Later came Blood Suckers 2 in 2017, Red Tiger‘s Blood Suckers Megaways in 2023, and Tap-A-Roo‘s Blood Suckers Tap-A-Roo in 2026. All three companies belong to the Evolution group.
Rules of the First Game
The first game is a 5-reel, 3-row slot with 25 fixed paylines. It has three simple features.
- Wild: Substitutes for all symbols except the scatter and bonus symbols, and lines of wilds also pay on their own.
- Free Spins: 3 or more scatters start 10 free spins, and all wins during free spins are tripled. If 3 scatters land again, extra spins are added.
- Vampire Hunt Bonus: When 3 bonus symbols line up on the same payline starting from the left, you enter a room lined with coffins. Open the coffins: if a sleeping vampire appears, you drive a stake through it and win a prize, and if a bat flies out, the bonus ends.
Volatility is low and the max win is a modest 900x, but in exchange the theoretical return rate is high. For the point that a 98% RTP is only a long-term average and does not guarantee short-session results, see the RTP entry.

What Changed in the Follow-Ups
Blood Suckers 2
A story was added in which the vampire heroine Amelia enters an old castle in search of her ancestors’ treasure. Free spins kept 10 spins and 3x wins under the name “Blood Rose Free Spins,” and the base game gained 2 random features. Scatter Shot can add a third scatter when 2 scatters land, and Bonus Shot adds bonus symbols on reels 1-3 to raise the chance of entering the Treasure Bonus game.
Blood Suckers Megaways
It adds Megaways and tumble wins. A Super Wild that fills a whole reel carries a ways multiplier of up to 7x, and random 2x, 3x, or 5x win multipliers can also be applied during spins. Before 5 free spins begin, there is a pick bonus that brings back the coffin opening from the first game: you pick at least 3 of 10 coffins to defeat vampires and receive bonus boosts.
Blood Suckers Tap-A-Roo
Tap-A-Roo from Evolution is a tap game brand where, instead of spinning reels, you tap the screen to see the result right away. This version keeps the original’s art and mood but shortens the gameplay.
