Vampires have always been a part of popular folklore for centuries now. There has always been a fascination for vampires because of the nature of these mythical creatures. Vampires are supposed to be creatures of the night and they feast on the blood of the living. Count Dracula is one of the most well-known vampires in popular fiction out there. Vampires have inspired literature, movies and even video games.

There are even online casino games that are based upon vampires. For example, you could check out this game called Blood Suckers made by NetEnt. It’s a pretty engaging game set in the Victorian era with symbols like crossbows, garlic and bibles thrown in. For those who are wondering what the role of garlic is, according to legend, garlic is one of the few things that a vampire cannot stand. It’s a deterrent like a bible or a cross so keep one of these three things on you the next time you walk down a road that’s supposedly haunted by vampires. Meanwhile, here are a few more video games that are based upon vampires that will send a chill down your spine.
