Blade Slots (Playtech)

Blade – it might only offer five letters, but those in the know will recognize the name of the lead character with a Marvel link. We won’t slow things down here as we’re sure you’d like some info if you want to check it out.

There is a standard arrangement of reels and paylines

This gives us five reels and 20 lines, so quite a manageable number.

The coin values remain on the low side

Coins go from a penny to 10 cents each here, but you can choose to go with up to 10 coins per line.

Note these special icons

It’s not a shock to realize that Blade is the wild symbol. As usual, the wild replaces the standard icons in the paytable, but not the two remaining special ones. The first of these is the Blade Split icon. The second is the regular Blade logo, which behaves as a scatter symbol.

Where might the special icons lead?

Blade Split can land on reel five, and if it does, it will trigger the associated feature. While there are five reels, this symbol can split others, which means you have a chance to get a prize for up to six symbols. This explains why the paytable offers prizes for that quantity of symbols, as the Blade Split can work with any other icon except for the scatters.

If you get three scattered logos on the reels, you will score 15 free spins. These have a growing multiplier feature involved, and we’re sure you don’t need us to explain how promising that sounds. If you get any scatters landing during these games, they will act as extra wilds.

Do you need to be a fan of Blade stories to enjoy this slot?

We doubt it - we didn’t know much about Blade ahead of checking out this game. We still don’t know, honestly! It’s a great slot though, packed with symbols, sharp graphics, and excellent gameplay. The split element is unusual and fits the theme and having that many freebies available together with increasing multipliers and another wild certainly helps you get more from the round. Will you become a fan of Blade if you play this title for a while?
