Blood Suckers Tap-a-Roo Slot Review

If you boot up NetEnt's Blood Suckers Tap-a-Roo (released October 2026) expecting the reels of the studio's classic Blood Suckers slots, which it shares only a name and a vampire theme with, you're in for a surprise. NetEnt has completely ditched the reels this time, opting for a gothic "tap" game instead. It's definitely an interesting pivot. Let's break down how the two bonus rounds actually play and see if this quirky, high-RTP game is worth your time compared to the studio's usual heavy hitters.

The game revolves around two distinct bonus features, which you can trigger naturally by finding a specific character in the main coffin, or by buying them directly.

The first is Free Taps. For 60x your stake, you get nine rounds where the dreaded empty coffin is completely removed from the board. This is a nice touch because every tap guarantees a vampire, so no tap opens on an empty coffin. If you find the Bride, she retriggers another nine taps, and theoretically, there's no limit to how many times she can appear. The base game multipliers can also kick in here to boost your prizes.

My experience: On paper, guaranteed wins sound great, but keep your expectations in check. I bought the feature and got back about half my 60x investment. It delivered a steady stream of small wins, peaking at just a 6x payout on my final tap.

The second feature is Vampire Hunt, a cheaper 30x pick-and-click bonus. The screen changes to a wall of 14 closed coffins. You reveal cash prizes until you hit an empty coffin, which instantly kills the round. The saving grace here is the Blood Gem, which can boost your collected prizes by up to 7x.

My experience: One thing to keep in mind is that the board is predetermined before you make your first pick: your choices are just revealing an already-set outcome. It can be pretty unforgiving. My bought hunt ended abruptly on the second click, leaving me with just a 5x prize before the round slammed shut.

Looking at NetEnt's current lineup, Tap-a-Roo is a real outlier. Just a month prior, the studio was dropping high-volatility beasts like Jack and the Beanstalk 2 and Aftermath, with max wins of 20,000x and 25,000x and bonus buys running up to 250x and 500x.

By contrast, this game's max win is a modest 1,282.7x. That puts it in the same max-win range as Golden Egg Invaders or Rabid Randy Dark Trails (1,259x each), but well below something like Elk Hunter (2,035x).

However, where Tap-a-Roo really shines is its math model. The RTP sits at a very generous 97.06%, comfortably beating out NetEnt's Dead or Alive 2 and Divine Fortune Gold. Even better, both bonus buys keep a 97%+ return, 97.07% for Free Taps and 97.18% for the Hunt.

Mechanically, this game actually feels more like titles from other developers. The sudden-death picking is a lot like BGaming's Red & Hot Chilli (though that game lets your choices actually shape the math, rather than pre-fixing the board), and the tap-to-reveal style echoes Octoplay's Elvis Presley Viva Las Jackpots, albeit with a much lower max win.

All told, Blood Suckers Tap-a-Roo isn't going to give you those heart-pounding, massive win moments.
