A tale of Forbidden love

A game of chance in a twilight world

The teen vampire series, Twilight, is a major hit around the world. And it’s not just because the movie’s lead actor is a hottie. There is something about vampire stories that thrills the imagination, generation after generation. Even though Twilight has “revamped” parts of the usual myth – such as vampires sparkling in the sunlight – the core remains the same. A vampire is a dangerous, bloodsucking, predator who feeds on human beings. 

Some believe our popular vampire-mania is due to the fact that humanity has so few natural enemies. We are captivated by the idea of something superhuman that might force us back into the natural order. But others say real reason for our fascination runs far deeper, because vampires aren’t only vicious predators. Vampires are seducers, who entrance their victims and provoke a combination of fear and attraction.The meeting of human and vampire is filled with risk and excitement. And this is what fascinates us most: it is a game of chance. Vampires lure their victims to the edge of death, where they face annihilation or transformation into something more than human. “Twilight” is the perfect name for this place of risk where opposites meet. 

In the Twilight series the vampires choose to live in a shaded world where they can interact with people and pass for human beings. In this place between night and day they must grapple with the two sides of their own nature. Many vampire characters, such as Louis in Interview with a Vampire, Vampire Bill in True Blood and Edward in the Twilight series, constantly walk the risky razors edge between their yearning for the daylight of their own lost humanity, and the dark night of their predatory nature. Every contact with a human being is a chance for them to give in to their animal impulses.

And so the forbidden love between vampire and human is the ultimate gamble. In Twilight, Edward and Bella are drawn to each other despite (and possibly because of) the incredible danger their connection represents. At any moment the balance may tip. The vampire who loves a human could lose contact with his own humanity and devour her. The girl could lose her ordinary life and be killed or changed forever.

And yet they both continue to pursue their forbidden love. Why is this? Perhaps because when the stakes are high the excitement of the bet makes you feel more alive. So, to bring you one step closer to the thrill of the vampire romance we invite you to join the ultimate gamble: our latest vampire-themed slot machine game called Forbidden Love. Get a taste for the edge and enter the twilight world of chance.
