How to Play the Dracula Slot
Dracula is a quality video slot, developed by NetEnt. It has 5 reels and 40 paylines, with bets starting from 20p per spin. Based on the famous Count Dracula, this spooky slot game has some fantastic features for you to activate. You could trigger free spins with Stacked Wilds or create clusters of the same high-value symbols with the Bat Feature in this monster casino slot.
Opening up with a chase down a back street in the dark, the Dracula slot game has you on edge from the outset. It is to be expected, with a character so deeply embedded in the Gothic theme of things. As we enter into the reels, Dracula is sat to the left of the game, tapping his fingertips on the arm of his chair.
The slot is set upon a pink and purple clouded background, bringing us some contrast to the ominous stare and frown we’re getting from Dracula.
Set your Bet
All of the 20 paylines are fixed in place and will be in play with each spin.
You can choose to amend your bet against these 20 paylines as you please, by altering the value of the coins and the bet level.
The coin value varies between 1p and £1 per payline, giving you the option to stake between 20p to £20 in each spin of the reels.
To step up your game further, you can increase the bet level. It should be automatically set to 1, but it can be increased in individual amounts up to 10. The bet level will be multiplied by your coin bet to create the total bet, so make sure you’re happy with the amount before you face the wrath of Dracula.
Winning Faces
There are three faces in the symbols on the reels. One is a woman in a hat with a dog in her hand, another is a man carrying a wine bottle, and the other is a young lad with some money in his hands.
To make things easy, each of the characters has the same value. You will still need to land three or more of the same characters on a payline to win, though. You can’t mix and match. The maximum payout for landing five-of-a-kind on a payline is 60 times your bet.
It is a similar story with the lower-value symbols. Cars values from Ace to Jack are of equal value, offering up to 40 times your bet for landing five of the same card value on a payline.
Spooky Specials
NetEnt have treated us to three fabulous features, some familiar, others new. All of them are gratefully welcomed when they’re triggered!
Wild
The Wild symbol in the Dracula slot is a blood-red W on a white background. It can appear on any of the middle three reels and can substitute for any of the other symbols in play to help you build up some winning paylines.
Free Spins
If a stacked Dracula symbol and stacked Lady symbol land on reels 2 and 4 respectively in the same spin, you can trigger the free spins. You will get 10 initial spins.
Throughout these spins, it is possible to lands a Stacked Wild symbol on the middle reel. The Stacked Wild is Dracula and the woman in an embrace. Landing this can award you another two free spins.
Bat Feature
The Bat Feature is randomly activated at points in the main game. You will see Dracula transform from a calm and collected state into a rage where he practically dissolves into a flock of bats.
Bats will fly across the reels and drop in a cluster. When the reels stop spinning, all symbols within the cluster will be transformed into the same symbols, allowing for – hopefully – multiple winning ways to be created! If you have a very lucky cluster, it may even be Wild.
During free spins, the bats are in action in every single spin, so there is potential for some great wins for the price of a single spin.
A ‘Bloody’ Good Game
We can’t get enough of NetEnt’s video productions, and the Dracula slot is no exception. It’s as though we’ve been dropped into the story and are fully immersed in the goings-on. The vibe of the slot is maintained with the eerie sounds, spooky strings and indistinguishable noises which play out in the backing track of the game. There are all kinds of effects which make the Dracula slot game stand out from similarly themed games.
Although it’s a dark theme, it’s pretty familiar, in so much as most of us have heard of Dracula, so it’s one we are drawn to. We kind of know what to expect, and with such a famous character comes excellent design, graphics and features.
The Return to Player (RTP) of the Dracula slot machine is approximately 96.6%. It has a low to medium variance meaning that you are more likely to win smaller prizes more often, rather than one massive payout.
