The main feature is Boosted Respin. It can activate through a special symbol on the fifth reel. The game then selects one symbol type, holds it on the grid and respins the remaining positions. Bonus symbols can also remain in place, increasing the chance of triggering the main bonus game.
Bonus features
Free Spins trigger when 3 Scatter symbols land. Their positions form a rectangular area on the reels, and the number of cells inside that area affects the number of free spins. Depending on the arrangement, players can receive from 4 to 15 Free Spins.
During the bonus game, some symbols can transform into the highest-value symbol. This increases combination potential and makes Free Spins an important part of gameplay. Wild symbols substitute for regular symbols, while stacked symbols create a chance for larger payline matches.
Theme and style
Blood Lust uses a gothic vampire-drama style. The reels show characters, candles, blood, mystical objects, romantic imagery and classic horror elements. The game fits categories such as horror pokies, vampire pokies, romantic pokies and video pokies.
The game does not use Megaways, Cluster Pays or Hold and Win. Its structure is closer to a traditional payline pokie, but 99 paylines, stacked symbols, Boosted Respins and bonus symbol transformations make it more feature-rich than a simple five-reel game.
