Theme and Atmosphere

The slot is set in a gothic castle transformed into a disco party venue. The main character is a funky vampire DJ accompanied by his bat sidekick, who resembles a cat. The background showcases a dimly lit room with church-like windows, coffins, and a disco ball, creating a unique blend of spooky and party atmospheres.

Core Game Mechanics

Vampy Party utilizes a tumble feature, where winning symbols disappear and are replaced by new ones falling from above. This process continues until no new winning combinations form. The game employs a win multiplier that doubles with each tumble, starting at x1 and potentially reaching x1,024 in the base game.

Symbols include lower-paying card royals (J, Q, K, A) and higher-value theme-related icons like cocktails, vinyl records, disco bats, and vampires. Wild symbols substitute for all regular symbols to help form winning combinations.

Bonus Features

1. Marked Symbols: Random paying symbols on reels 3 and 4 may appear marked. If these marked symbols contribute to a win, they transform into wilds for the next tumble.
2. Tumble Multipliers: In the base game, the win multiplier increases with each tumble, doubling from x1 up to a maximum of x1,024. The multiplier resets after all tumbles from a spin are completed.
3. Free Spins: Triggered by landing 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatter symbols, awarding 12 free spins with starting multipliers of x8, x16, x32, or x64 respectively. Before the feature begins, players can gamble to double their starting multiplier (up to x256) or collect the current value. During free spins, all wins are multiplied by the starting multiplier, which doubles with each tumble up to x1,024. Landing 3 or more scatters during the feature resets the spin count to 12 and increases the starting multiplier by x2, x4, x8, or x16, up to a maximum of x1,024.
4. Ante Bet: Players can opt to increase their bet by 40% to double the chances of triggering the Free Spins feature.
5. Feature Buy: The Free Spins round can be purchased directly for 78x, 150x, or 288x the bet for 3, 4, or 5 guaranteed scatters respectively. Alternatively, players can pay 128x the bet for a random number of scatters (3-6).

An interesting aspect of Vampy Party is its gamble feature for free spins. This adds an extra layer of risk and reward, allowing players to potentially start their free spins with a significantly higher multiplier (up to x256). However, this comes with the risk of losing the entire bonus round if the gamble is unsuccessful, adding a thrilling decision point for players.
