Bloodthirst (Hacksaw Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

Bloodthirst Slot Overview

I’ll set the scene. Bloodthirst runs on a 5x4 grid with 10 fixed paylines, a high volatility profile rated 4 out of 5, and a default RTP of 96.19% with lower configurations possible. Stakes range from £0.10 to £100 per spin on mobile or desktop, with a hit frequency near 21%. Line wins exist, yet the real action revolves around expanding Monster Reels that can overtake the screen for fixed prizes. It’s a dark horror slot that rewards patience, timing, and a steady stake plan.

Bloodthirst Slot Information

Hacksaw nails the vibe with blacks, greys, and blood red across a misty forest at night. A full moon lights a distant castle, while hard-shaded reels sit in front. The hand-drawn look suits the gothic tone, and little animations, blinking eyes and snarling mouths, keep the screen alive. Audio backs it up with eerie strings, organ swells, and beastly roars on wins. It feels built to pull you into a late-night hunt without slipping into comic relief.

Low pays are stone-carved royals 10, J, Q, K, A that pay 1x for five of a kind. Premiums are four monsters, ghoul, vampire, werewolf, demon, paying roughly 6x to 10x for five. The Wild, a red star with a W, substitutes and pays 20x for five on a line. Pentagram scatters trigger free spins, while an Upgrade potion appears during Immortals only. All wins pay left to right from reel one, keeping things simple before the monsters start expanding.

Bloodthirst Slot Features

The heartbeat is Monster Reels. When four matching premium symbols land stacked on a reel, they merge after line wins and form a full-reel monster. Each type carries an instant award on top of any lines, ghoul 5x, vampire 10x, werewolf 15x, demon 20x your bet. These hits show the creature in full and can arrive one reel at a time or stack across several reels in a single spin. It’s a tidy system that feels punchy when it lands.

Land five identical Monster Reels at once and you trigger a Monster Takeover. Regular line wins and individual reel prizes switch off, replaced by a fixed payout, 100x for ghouls, 250x for vampires, 1,000x for werewolves, 2,500x for demons. Three scatters award 10 Bloodthirst Free Spins where Monster Reel odds are raised compared to the base game. That boost is noticeable, and it’s the moment the grid can feel alive with stacked creatures and the odd full-screen strike.

Four scatters unlock 10 Immortals spins. One premium is chosen as the main symbol and is the only one that can expand. When it does, the reel gets marked, and at the end of the feature every marked reel expands again for a final sweep. An Upgrade scatter can step the chosen symbol up the paytable, upgrading all marked reels. Where available, Bonus Buy offers three routes, 3x stake Bonushunt, 100x Bloodthirst FS at 96.34% RTP, and 200x Immortals at 96.35%.

Bloodthirst Slot Conclusion

I had stretches where the balance thinned out, then sessions where Monster Reels kept pace and the game found its stride. That swingy rhythm fits a high volatility slot with a 10,000x cap that realistically needs Immortals and strong symbols to shine. The horror art and audio sell the mood, the Monster Takeover delivers clear goals, and the maths feels fair for the genre. Not a cartoon fright, more a late-night creeper for players who like tension, patience, and screen-filling moments.
