The Wild symbol is a letter 'W' and can appear on reels 2, 3 and 4 in the main game and substitute for any symbol to create the highest winning combo. The big new attraction on offer in Dracula is the new and innovative Bat feature which can lead to some truly spectacular payouts. When activated the on-screen bats can land anywhere on the reels in a huge cluster formation, turning them into a giant random symbol which can prove extremely profitable.
Dracula also comes with a Free Spins feature which is triggered in the base game when both the stacked Dracula symbol appears on reel 2 and the stacked Lady symbol follows on reel 4 - you'll get an initial 10 free spins. A cloud of bats will then fly onto the reels on every spin, transforming the symbols they land on.
It's possible to fill all 20 spots for a bumper payout. Extra free spins can be had during the bonus feature too. Keep an eye out for the stacked Dracula and Lady wild symbol on reel 3 which will boost reels further. I’ve managed to get 150 times stake wins from this feature a couple of times now.
Based on the 1931 film version of the classic vampire tale by Bram Stoker, Dracula looks a treat. The graphics are pretty spectacular, especially the Bat feature which takes over virtually the whole screen. The rest of the imagery is pretty special too. Beautifully animated, the graphics wouldn't look out of place in a classic console game.
Overlooking the reels at all times is a brooding Dracula. And very handsome he is too, rather than the cartoon-style villain he is often portrayed as. The action is accompanied by a thumping soundtrack which adds to the chilling feel. NetEnt has come up trumps with Dracula. It looks superb and has the gameplay to match, especially the spectacular new Bat feature.
If you like branded slots, NetEnt has other slots that have been created in cooperation with Universal such as Scarface, Creature from the Black Lagoon and The Invisible Man. However, it you want more volatility, you can’t go wrong with the brilliant Dead or Alive.
