The Count

About The Count

The Count is Hacksaw Gaming's vampire slot, released in October 2025 and drawn almost entirely in black and white until a feature fires and colour bleeds in. A count and his headless skeleton companion flank the grid from the bottom of a staircase in an empty mansion hall.

The mechanical idea is one Hacksaw returns to often: wilds carrying large multipliers, here reaching 500x. What is less common is having two wild types working together. Blood symbols expand into 3x3 Bloody Wilds when they contribute to a win, Bat symbols land as wilds carrying their own values, and an Epic Bat can pass its value to every other wild on the grid. Maximum win is 12,500x stake.

How to Play The Count

Wins pay left to right from reel one across nineteen fixed paylines, with three or more matching symbols needed on adjacent reels. Only the highest win per payline is awarded. Stakes at Midnite start from £0.10 per spin.

Two special symbols drive everything. A Blood symbol that forms part of any win expands into a 3x3 Bloody Wild, spreading downwards across the grid. Bat symbols land as wilds carrying multiplier values, and where several contribute to the same win their values combine. The Epic Bat is the one to watch: it transfers its own value not just to other Bat wilds but to the Expanded Bloody Wilds as well. Landing three scatters opens one of the bonus rounds.

The Count Theme and Symbols

The grid sits in the entry hall of a mansion, with an angled staircase behind it and candlelight from off screen. Hacksaw drew the whole thing in monochrome, and colour only enters as features trigger, which gives the bonus rounds a clear visual step up from normal play. The two characters flank the grid and react to wins throughout.

Card ranks from 10 to Ace fill the low-value positions, each paying 1x stake for five of a kind. Above them sit hammers and stakes, tombstones, coffins, skulls and spiders, paying between 2x and 5x. The Blood, Bat and Epic Bat symbols sit outside the paytable entirely, and the Rest in Pieces round is built around gradually clearing the card ranks off the grid so that only the symbols worth having remain.
