The Legend of Count Dracula Slot

Feed your inner vampire with a trip to the dark side, courtesy of The Legend of Dracula, a spooktacular online slot from the ghouls over at Casino Web Scripts. Ideal for Halloween, this game can even keep on giving all year round, making it the perfect partner for those horror feasts with friends. Muahahahaha!

A lot of time has been spent getting the theme just right with this title, with the atmosphere falling between comedy and terrifying, making it one that you can play without being scared within an inch of your life. Think of it as Dracula meets Disney – there’s depth there, but nothing too unsightly or gruesome.

Within the blood drenched reels of this legend, there’s a coffin-robbing bonus round that is highly rewarding, utilising a pick and select prize format. Then you have foreboding gravestones that become wild, which can expand across the reels and land you further wins, as well as a flapping scatter symbols worth as many as 35 extra games.

Do Come In

The graveyard silhouette should have been your first clue to something sinister being a foot, but alas you ignored the warning signs and are now within the grounds of Dracula’s great estate. For the most part you’ll be outside, hiding among the tombstones, avoiding the low flying bats, but there’ll be times when you must creep inside and brave the legend himself.

The crimson detailings are what make this theme so unique and standout, for it emphasises all the important elements of the slot, such as the controls, which glow a deep red hue. Rather ironically, these finishing touches are the lifeblood of the title’s theme, and is part of the reason we become so gripped by the game, without them the title would feel emptier for it.

Lifting the Lid

You know in horror films where a character is about to do a bad thing, and you’re crying out for them to stop, but they do it anyway? Well, the bonus round is a bit like that in The Legend of Dracula, only instead of a deadly outcome, you get handfuls of gold instead. How much isn’t set in stone, and thus the values will change with each bonus round you activate.

To get the ball rolling, you’ll need at least three of the coffin symbols, valued between €8 and €250 before they trigger the bonus level. You can open as many of the coffins as you like, but eventually you’ll be cut short by the collection sign.

Here Lies the Body of…

The wild feature is probably the only time you’ll want to see tombstones cover your devices, in fact, the more the better as they can congregate together to create an expanding wild, which naturally brings in more rewards than a standard. Even though it can substitute other icons, it doesn’t hold any bearing on other elements of the game, thus making its wins rather limited in scope.

Between three and five scatters will get you either 6, 20 or 35 free games. Despite the fact that these extras don’t guarantee you a victory of any kind, they help to make your money stretch further as you get several rounds completely free. What is disappointing to see is that no multiplier is included with these wins, which makes The Legend of Count Dracula fall to the wayside when compared with Treasure of Wild Bears.

Trick or Treat?

Players can opt for a treat by playing for free and exploring the demo mode, or they can get a trick and enter into a dangerous liaison with the oldest known vampire. To begin your contract you’ll have to place €1 on the winlines you have in play, which can be as few as 1 or as many as 15.

We appreciate having the flexibility to control how large this real cash slot is, but at the same time we’re aware of how highly volatile a game becomes when we reduce paylines.

The Legend that Never Dies

You can change the rules, you can make Dracula handsome, cartoony or horrible, but you won’t ever be able to kill off the legend that is Count Dracula, and thus this slot will forever be a classic from the brand. It has such old school horror charm, mixed in with modern video slot aspects.
