Blood Suckers 2 Review

The Scatter Shot is a random in-game event that activates when exactly two Blood Rose Scatter symbols have landed on the reels without a third appearing to complete the free spins trigger. When it fires, the game automatically adds a third Scatter symbol to the grid and free spins activate immediately — exactly as if all three had landed naturally. The mechanic turns what would be a losing near-miss spin into a feature trigger. The Scatter Shot can also activate during free spins. NetEnt does not publish the exact trigger frequency for the Shot mechanics, but community data suggests the Scatter Shot fires less frequently than the standard organic scatter trigger — it is a supplementary mechanic rather than a primary trigger source. The value is in the unpredictability: you cannot predict when a two-Scatter spin will become a free spins trigger, which keeps base game spins from feeling entirely binary.

Three Bonus symbols on consecutive reels starting from reel 1 activate the Hidden Treasure Bonus. The feature presents five levels of increasing value. At each level you pick from a grid of objects — each concealing a coin prize or a collection symbol. Matching three identical coin prizes at any level awards that prize and ends the bonus. Collecting enough of a specific progress symbol before three coins match allows you to advance to the next level. Level 1 prizes are modest; level 5 prizes can reach up to 670x your bet. Most players do not reach level 5 on every activation — the odds of advancing through each level depend on how the concealed symbols are distributed behind the pick objects, which is determined by the RNG at feature activation. The feature is not guaranteed to reach high levels, but the structure means that when it does, the reward is meaningfully larger than the level at which most sessions exit.

The original Blood Suckers (2009) has a 98% RTP — historically one of the highest in the online slot industry — but minimal features: a basic free spins round and a pick-and-click bonus at a single level. Blood Suckers 2 (2017) has 96.94% RTP, which is still high by modern standards, and adds the Scatter Shot, Bonus Shot, a 3x multiplier on free spins, and a five-level Hidden Treasure bonus. The 1.06% RTP difference is real but the mechanical difference is larger. For players who use the original primarily for its RTP and do not care about feature engagement, the original remains valid if you can find it. For players who want active features, a meaningful bonus game, and random mechanics that keep base spins interesting, Blood Suckers 2 is the superior playing experience despite the slightly lower return rate.

Yes — available at Ontario-regulated casinos carrying NetEnt software and at most international platforms serving Canadian players. The 96.94% RTP is standard and consistent across operators. Stakes run from €0.25 to €250, which is notably higher than most NetEnt standard slots and makes it one of the better options for high-stakes play at strong expected return. All features — Scatter Shot, Bonus Shot, Blood Rose Free Spins and Hidden Treasure — are fully accessible without regional restrictions. Mobile performance is solid through NetEnt Touch. Bonus buy is not available — both feature paths trigger organically only.

Yes — the Hidden Treasure Bonus can trigger during Blood Rose Free Spins. The Bonus Shot random mechanic can fire during free spins and add an overlay Bonus symbol to a reel — if that addition completes the three consecutive bonus symbol condition on reels 1 through 3, the Hidden Treasure game activates. When it does, the bonus is played out and prizes are paid separately from the free spins total. Importantly, the 3x free spins multiplier does not apply to Hidden Treasure prizes — the bonus game pays its coin wins at face value, not multiplied. The combination of a free spins session and a Hidden Treasure game within it is the highest-value single-feature scenario the slot can produce, but the bonus prizes and the multiplied free spins wins are calculated and paid independently of each other.

A 41% hit frequency means roughly four out of every ten spins return a winning combination before any feature activation is counted. For a low-volatility slot this is expected — the frequent small wins are how low-volatility slots maintain bankroll longevity between larger feature events. In practice during a Blood Suckers 2 session, you will see regular small payouts from card rank combinations and mid-tier symbol matches that keep the balance moving. These frequent small wins rarely have dramatic impact individually, but they extend how long a session runs before bankroll depletion. The Wild symbol paying up to 400x for five-of-a-kind is the highest single-line payout available in the base game — at 3x multiplier during free spins that becomes 1,200x, which is the primary route to the 1,298x ceiling.
