Van Helsing's Book of the Undead

tIt is always the right time to hunt the vampires, and the developers at 1x2 Gaming decided to give you a chance to join notorious vampire hunters and…

...travel to Eastern Europe, more precisely, the ruined Transylvanian castle of Count Dracula!

Do not be scared, as you have the popular Van Helsing in charge of matters!

This horror-themed game provides you with a unique experience, another addition to the “Book of…” slot genre and prizes that can go up to 5,100x of the bet!

And What About The Theme & Symbols?

Based on the fictional Professor Abraham Van Helsing character from the Dracula novel, this vampire inspired story takes you back to Transylvania straight to Dracula’s castle.

Upon loading the game, you will face as dark and creepy design as you’d expect, with the animated background that showcases the castle, and the overall atmosphere that will give you goosebumps before you even start spinning!

The action takes place on a winter day, however, once you trigger the free spins bonus round, the background will turn to night time with a full moon shining brightly in the sky.

The reels are framed by a gothic-looking carving with 2 dragon heads on both sides, and, on them...

...you will find metallic A to 10 royal symbols, a crossbow, vials of holy water, a female vampire, as well as Van Helsing himself.

As you might have imagined, the book symbol acts as both a Wild and a Scatter symbol. 

How Much Can We Bet?

This adventurous slot machine is played across 5x3 reel set, while offering only 10 pay lines, but also wins of up to 5,100x the stake!

Available on all devices, you can feel the excitement of vampire hunting if you just set your bets that range from 0.10 to 50 credits per spin.

Due to its medium volatility and an average RTP of 96%, we are safe to say, this is a pretty decent game, that will especially appeal to horror-theme lovers!

If we take a look at the paytable, we can see that the most rewarding symbol is Van Helsing himself, paying 1x, 10x, 100x or 500 x your stake if you manage to land 2, 3, 4 or 5 on a pay line.

The A-10 royals are the lowest-paying symbols, followed by other three premiums, that include in ascending order a crossbow, holy water vial and a female vampire.

What Special Features Can We Expect?

As you can conclude from the title, the whole thing about the game revolves around the Book symbol, the one that you should expect to see the most!

Not only does it act as a substitute for the regular symbols, but it also helps you trigger the special Free Spins feature!

Land 3, 4 or 5 of them and you’ll get 2x, 20x or 200x your total stake, but also be awarded 10 extra spins!

When that occurs, one standard symbol will be picked at random to be the special expanding symbol for the duration of the bonus round.

Plus, should you land another three or more scatters, you will also re-trigger this special round that will be played with the same special symbol.

What Is Our Take?

When it comes to gameplay, the developers have decided to keep it pretty straightforward, while they surely managed to stand out by the interesting theme, top-notch quality graphics and a decent payout of up to 5,000x the stake.

Though the pack of features is not an original one, it is efficient enough and loved by many punters who have tried some of the titles with Book of mechanics. 

If you are a fan of spooky-themed games, you will definitely enjoy this one, and, if you are not, you should give it a chance, and who knows, maybe you will wish to consider some other vampire-themed slots when you finish with this one.
