Blood Moon Wilds Slot Review
If you are an American Horror Story fan, you will be pleased to know that the Blood Moon in this slot is not nearly as petrifying as the clever clenched Irish Butcher portrayed by Kathy Bates in American Horror Story My Roanoke Nightmare. Although, you're not entirely off the hook as the Blood Moon in this slot summonses werewolves. I must admit I did unexpectedly lay something in my underwear when the Blood Moon hit in the slot, thanks to the sound effects.
Gameplay
Blood Moon Wilds is a 5x3 reel, 20 payline video slot powered by Yggdrasilsoftware. Symbols include Card Suits Hearts, Clubs, Spades and Clubs, and 4 Werewolf Characters (in human form). Special Symbols include the Free Spins Scatter that triggers the Blood Moon Free Spins Feature. There's also a Lunar Calendar above the reels that triggers Werewolf Wilds, and 4 Random Features that can be triggered at any time. More detail will be given in the Features section.
The game controls at the bottom of the screen from left to right are: a Plus Icon that expands to the Information button with the Pay Table, Game Settings button, Game History button, Game Rules button, and Sound button. Next is the Lines window, adjustable Coin Value window, Cash Bet window, Max Bet button, Spin button, Autoplay button, Win window, and Balance window.
Features and Unique Features
Features in Blood Moon Wilds include the Free Spins Scatter that triggers the Blood Moon Free Spins Feature, the Lunar Calendar above the reels that triggers Werewolf Wilds, and 4 Random Features that can be triggered at any time.
The unique Lunar Calendar above the reels displays the moon's different phases that turn on every spin. If the Full Moon lands in the centre, all of the Human form Werewolf Character Symbols on the reels transform into Werewolf Wilds.
Land 3 or more Free Spins Scatters to trigger the Blood Moon Free Spins Feature, awarding 7-20 free spins depending on the amount of Free Spins Scatters landed. During the feature, the Lunar Calendar will replace the Full Moon with multiple Blood Moons that also turn the Human form Werewolf Character Symbols on the reels into Werewolf Wilds, but they remain as Wilds for the duration of the feature. Land 2 Free Spins Scatters for 2 extra free spins.
The 4 Random Features can occur any time during the base game, and in the Blood Moon Free Spins Feature awarding 1 of the following:
Random Wilds: the highest valued symbol on the reels transforms into a Werewolf Wild.
Random Multiplier: a multiplier of 2x, 3x, 4x, or 5x applies to a winning combination.
Extra Free Spins Scatter: adds 1 Free Spins Scatter to the reels when at least 2 Free Spins Scatters are on the reels to trigger the Blood Moon Free Spins Scatter or add more free spins to the total number of Scatters on the reels.
Random Full Moon: the Lunar Calendar is nudged to a full moon, transforming high-value symbols into Wilds.
Performance
Blood Moon Wilds has it all and then some, for fantastic gameplay, allowing you to land some wild wins. The animation, design, and graphics are superb with sound effects that make it so much better. The RTP is 96.2% with medium-high volatility.
Max Win
The max coin win is 5000x your stake.
Conclusion
Blood Moon Wilds certainly makes a ferocious impact with gameplay that can transform your balance into a winning one. The features, especially the Lunar Calendar, are captivating and adds a whole lot of oomph to the reels. I thoroughly enjoyed this slot, but next time I will make sure to watch the moon before venturing out again, the shrill of the werewolves gets me every time.
