Slot Summary

Pragmatic Play opened its 2024 release schedule with Blade & Fangs, a Horror slot that treats two adjacent grids as one changeable play area. The paired 5x3 grids can merge into a 5x6 format for Respins, while Additive symbols raise the multiplier. That grid transformation, rather than the x5000.00 ceiling, is the game's defining idea.

How It Plays

Each side begins as a separate 5x3 grid with 243 Ways. Winning combinations can form independently before the Reelset Changing event joins the two sides.

When both special symbols appear on a winning spin, the grids merge and a Respin follows. Further wins keep the combined reelset active for another evaluation.

Theme & Atmosphere

Horror, Vampires, Zombies, and Demons share a Gothic mansion setting, making the divided screen resemble two connected rooms within the same confrontation.

Animals and Fantasy appear through creatures such as bats, snakes, and werewolves, supporting the supernatural conflict without distracting from the split-grid presentation.

Features & Win Potential

The Additive symbols apply separate multiplier effects. Landing both on a winning spin causes Reelset Changing, combines the grids, and starts the Respin sequence.

During Free Spins, the Free Spins Multiplier persists and grows when more multiplier symbols land. Additional Free Spins can extend the combined-grid round.

Bonus & Free Spins

Three or more Scatter Symbols trigger Free Spins. The reelset changes to the merged 5x6 format, increasing the available positions for every feature spin.

Multiplier symbols remain persistent during Free Spins and add their values together. The accumulated multiplier then applies to wins formed on the merged reelset.

How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (High). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (96.05%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (5,000×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
