Main Features

Expanded Bloody Wilds

When a Blood symbol appears, it can turn into a Bloody Wild if included in a winning combination. Bloody Wilds expand downward from the top of the reel to cover all positions down to the original Blood symbol, substituting for other symbols as wilds. Only one Blood symbol can land on each reel at a time.

Expanded Bloody Wilds may also display multipliers with possible values of: Wild, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 10x, 25x, 50x, 100x, or 500x. If more than one expanded Bloody Wild with a multiplier contributes to a win, the multiplier values are combined and applied to the total win.

Wild Bat Symbols and Multipliers

Wild Bat symbols may include multipliers with the same possible values as Bloody Wilds. If more than one Wild Bat multiplier is present in a winning combination, the multipliers are combined. In cases where a win includes both a Wild Bat and an expanded Bloody Wild, the combined multipliers from both symbols are added to the win.

Epic Wild Bat symbols can also appear with these multiplier values. When present, an Epic Wild Bat will distribute its multiplier to all expanded Bloody Wilds and other Wild Bat symbols currently on the reels. Only one Epic Wild Bat can land per spin.

Bonus Features

Bat to the Bone Bonus

This bonus is triggered when 3 FS scatter symbols land simultaneously in the base game, awarding 10 free spins. The lowest possible multiplier value in this bonus is 2x. Additional FS symbols during free spins provide:

• 2 FS symbols: +2 free spins
• 3 FS symbols: +4 free spins

Rest in Pieces Bonus

Landing 4 FS scatter symbols at once in the base game activates this feature and grants 10 free spins. During the bonus, a progressive symbol counter tracks 5 low-value symbols. Once all counters for a symbol fill, that symbol is replaced by Wild Bat symbols for the remainder of the feature. The minimum multiplier when active is 2x. Extra FS symbols in the bonus round give:

• 2 FS symbols: +2 free spins
• 3 FS symbols: +4 free spins

Hidden Epic Bonus — Count on Blood

This bonus is entered by landing 5 FS scatter symbols in the base game, rewarding 10 free spins. All mechanics from Rest in Pieces apply, but with a higher chance of Epic Wild Bat symbols landing and a minimum of five Wild Bat symbols guaranteed per spin. Extra FS symbols result in the following:

• 2 FS symbols: +2 free spins
• 3 FS symbols: +4 free spins

Payouts update to reflect the selected bet. Below are the main symbol values for landing 3, 4, or 5 matching symbols in a payline:

2. Your current balance is shown in the BALANCE display in your chosen currency.
3. Press the SPIN button or the spacebar to begin a round.

Winning Combinations

Wins are awarded when matching symbols line up from left to right along predefined lines, starting with the leftmost reel. There are 19 paylines in total.

Maximum Win Cap

The largest possible win in The Count is 12,500 times your bet. If this threshold is reached, the round will end immediately, and your winnings will be credited. If achieved during a bonus feature, any remaining free spins or bonus features will not be played.

Free Spins Round

During a Free Spins bonus, each spin’s winnings are shown in the WIN field, and the combined total appears in the TOTAL WIN field alongside the remaining number of spins.

In-game Information Bar

The information bar at the bottom of the game screen displays your current balance, the most recent amount won, and your bet for the current or last round.

Handling Interrupted Games

If a game round is interrupted, you can resume unfinished rounds later. If a round is left incomplete for more than one day, it will be cancelled, and your wager will be refunded. Completed rounds are credited as usual.
