Based on the story of Van Helsing, a fictional character from the horror novel Dracula, the 1x2 Gaming video slot takes you on an adventure to Transylvania, where you’ll have an opportunity to help him hunt vampires. Van Helsing’s Book of the Undead is a 5-reel, 10-payline slot featuring nicely designed graphics accompanied by eerie sounds than fit the theme of the game perfectly. The maximum payout you can hit while playing the game is 5,100x the stake.

The reels are set against an old town with Dracula’s castle seen in the backdrop. They are flanked by stone pillars with creepy gargoyles on either side and feature to a mix of theme-related icons and gothic-style playing card royals. High-value symbols are depicted as crossbows, vials, female vampires and Van Helsing himself. The most lucrative symbol is the Book of the Undead, acting as Wild and Scatter at the same time.

To play the game, you need to wager 10 coins. The betting range starts at $0.10, which is perfect for penny punters, and goes up to $25 per spin. The maximum bet may not please high-rollers, though. You can spin the reels manually or activate up to 99 automatic spins. Three or more low- value symbols or two high-paying symbols are needed on a payline left to right for a prize to be paid out.

The only bonus feature in this 1X2 Gaming slot is the free spins feature. Look out for Book of Undead Scatter as 3 or more of these pay up to 200x the bet and unlocks free games. Once in, you are granted 10 freebies. Before free spins commence, one of the symbols will be picked at random to act as the expanding symbol throughout the feature. If you land another 3 or more Scatters at the same time, you will get 10 extra free spins added to your tally with the same expanding icon active.

There is nothing revolutionary about this slot, as we have seen the same bonus feature in many other titles before, starting with Novomatic’s Book of Ra. Looking at the title of the game, we can say that 1X2 Gaming has paid homage to the iconic slot machine that has served as an inspiration to many developers.

Van Helsing’s Book of the Undead is one of the titles from the provider’s Classic series. As such, it offers straightforward gameplay which will most certainly appeal to horror buffs out there. Being a medium to high volatility slot machine, it offers payouts of up to 5,100x the bet in a single spin. As for a return to player, the game has a 96% RTP, which is the industry standard. If you are into horror-themed slot games, you may consider giving this one a go.
