Review
Dare to enter the haunted chateau for an encounter with fiery vampires on the slot from Thunderkick. Baron Bloodmore and the Crimson Castle will take you on a highly volatile reel quest to defeat the lusting predators with wild substitutions, a Massive Mystery Symbol, a free spins round and a Crimson Cash bonus game that can lead to wins of up to 25,000 times your bet.
Slot Details
Baron Bloodmore and the Crimson Castle is a 5×3 video slot with 25 fixed pay lines. Wins are awarded for three to five matching symbols or in combination with a wild on a line from left to right only. You can enter the creepy castle on desktop, tablet or mobile from 0.10 o 100 credits per spin. The game has very high volatility (square root of variance is 141.15) and a single RTP setting of 96.07%.
The scenery is set inside the medieval castle with the view extending from a landing into a large mysteriously lit chamber. The baron himself features on the reels together with three blood-lusting vampiress sisters who act as wild symbols. Colours are changing to a poisonous green in the free spins while the Crimson Cash bonus game will take you outside the castle.
The pay symbols start at the low end with medieval-style card royals from J through to A, awarding 3x to 3.5x your bet for a single five of a kind. They are followed by three animal creatures in bronze raven, silver wolf and gold gargoyle as well as Baron Bloodmore himself. Hit five on a line to win 10x to 30x your bet.
Three vampire sisters are the wild symbols, appearing in full stacks at all times. They will substitute for all regular pay symbols and also yield 30x your stake for five. A golden skull marked with ‘Bonus’ is the free spin scatter while an icon of Crimson Castle acts as the bonus symbol. There are also two special symbols, bats and coffins, which will appear in the bonus game only. Lastly, a golden 3×3 icon with four skeletons and a green cross is the Massive Mystery Symbol.
Baron Bloodmore and the Crimson Castle Slot Features
After wrapping up their Crystal Quest franchise with Crystal Quest: Frostlands, we wondered what would emerge next from the studios of Thunderkick. Baron Bloodmore and the Crimson Castle takes us into a completely different world where blood-lusting vampires, gargoyles and bats will be at the core of a feature-filled rollercoaster through medieval chambers.
Not new but still different is the Massive Mystery Symbol as it covers the three centre reels instead of the usual single position. The 3×3 mega symbol can appear in part or in full reel height randomly on any spin in the base game and on every spin during the free spins feature. Once the dust has settled, it will transform into a random pay symbol including wilds and bonus symbols but not free spin scatters.
Hitting three, four or five bat scatters anywhere on the reels will trigger 10, 15 and 20 Free Spins respectively which cannot be retriggered. The only difference to the base game is the Massive Mystery Symbol appearing in partial or full view on every free spin. Plus, the Crimson Cash Bonus Game can be won during the feature.
The main event on this medieval reel hunt is the Crimson Cash Bonus Game as it represents the only opportunity to score the maximum win of 25,000 times your bet. You will need to land minimum one castle bonus scatter on three separate reels in the base game or free spins to trigger the bonus game. All triggering scatters unveil a bet multiplier and lock in place for the duration of the bonus game.
The reels contain only blanks and castle scatters, the latter being marked with random bet multipliers from 1x to 50x your stake. Three respins are initially awarded and any further castle scatter landing will lock in place too before resetting the counter to three. The feature continues as long as you have respins or when you hit the maximum win cap of 25,000x.
So far, all pretty standard for a money collect respin feature. However, there are three extras included that will have a significant impact on your potential winnings as you are about to discover:
- Pattern Collect Feature: A pattern of five symbols will be highlighted on the grid. Hit a sticky castle scatter on each to see the bet multiplier values from all five being added and multiplied by x2 before being placed on the symbol in the middle position of the pattern. All symbols in the pattern except the accumulator will be removed and a new pattern appears, ready for you to complete it again.
- Spawn Feature: Watch out for the special Bat symbol randomly landing on any respin as it will add its bet multiplier value once to all other locked symbols on the reels.
- Copy Feature: The Coffin symbol does not have a bet multiplier value but will copy all bet multipliers in view once to itself before locking in place.
Final Verdict
Baron Bloodmore and the Crimson Castle is the first slot from Thunderkick to feature a money collect-style bonus game. While its win potential comes in lower compared to the likes of Money Train 2, it still delivers highly volatile gameplay with ample features that supplement the main Crimson Cash bonus game.
