Blood & Shadow 2

Many of the original design and features remain in Blood & Shadow II. Although they are updated a bit. The possessed animals and old grump as a witch are back. One notable statistic, however, is that on average you will win Free Spins every 18 rounds. This is due to the Ritual Bar as we will explain further.

Where the original game got a medium volatility rating from Nolimit City, we already thought it was high. Now you even get to deal with ‘Insane Volatility’ and a payout rate of 96.09%. So it’s not a game for wimps. You can read how Blood & Shadow 2 came out of the test in this slot machine review.

How to Play Blood & Shadow 2

In Blood & Shadow 2, you see that the playing field has 5 reels, each of which is 5 rows high. The bottom row only contains Wilds, however, they are blocked at the beginning of each round. By default, you play for a bet of $1 which you can lower to $0.20 or increase to $100.

To win, try to make combinations within the All Ways Win mechanism. At the beginning of each spin, you have 1,204 Ways to Win, which can increase to 3,125 Ways to Win or more. You get a payout for 3 times the same symbol on connecting reels as long as the first symbol is on the far left. Used symbols are destroyed so that new ones can fall down.

In total, there are as many as 18 symbols that you hope to see while playing. Those are 5 low-value symbols in the form of an eye, snake tongue, ram’s horns, wolf’s teeth and witch symbol. You get up to 0.40 times the bet for them at 5-of-a-kind.

Then there are 5 symbols with medium payout:

• Raven with eyeball: up to 0.60 times your bet
• Snake: up to 0.70 times your bet
• Aries: up to 0.90 times your bet
• Wolf: up to 1.10 times your bet
• Old witch: up to 1.20 times your stake

The 5 high payout symbols are the possessed versions of the medium symbols. You must first unlock them with the Ritual Bar as we explain below.

Bonus features of Blood & Shadow 2

There are few spins that you won’t see special features pass by. Hence, we will explain them to you in detail. That way you’ll know right away what you need to do to win up to 16,161 times your stake.

Sticky Wilds

Wilds can be unlocked in Blood & Shadow 2 or simply encountered while spinning. If you don’t use them and have a free spin, they will remain in the playfield until you work them into a combination.

xSplit

This Nolimit City slot machine has not one, but two xSplit symbols. You have the daggers which splits all symbols left and right to count for two Win Ways. There is also a guillotine that doubles all the symbols below it. If you manage to split an xSplit, it gives x4 Multipliers. After using them, they turn into Wilds.

Ritual Bar and Candle Spins

At the bottom of the playing area of Blood & Shadow II, you will see a meter called the Ritual Bar. To advance on this, you have to sacrifice symbols with medium and high payouts. You get 1 and 2 points for it, respectively. Eye Scatters squashed between other symbols give you 10 points.

Each time you level up, the lowest medium symbol gets an upgrade and you may permanently remove the corresponding low-paying symbol. In addition, you unlock one of the Wilds and get 2 Candle Spins, which are regular Free Spins. If you reach level 5, you may count on 6 Reign of Terror Spins.

Reign of Terror Spins

Level 5 is the highest level which gives you 6 Reign of Terror Spins. You play these with all rows unlocked and only the 5 premium symbols. Plus, you get an extra spin for every Scatter you come across.

Nolimit Booster and Bonus

As usual, Blood & Shadow has an xBet feature for which you pay 2.5 times the bet. You are then three times more likely to get Reign of Terror. There is also a Nolimit Booster that gives you a level 5 spin with both types of xSplit for 66 times the bet.

Finally, you can opt for a Nolimit Bonus. Those are 6 Halifax Gibbet Spins for 100 times your bet, 10 Reign of Terror Spins for 500 times your bet or Lucky Draw for 240 times your bet.
