Dracula Awakening Slot Review

Dracula Awakening Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Dracula Awakening slot is played on a 5 reel, 30 payline machine. Winning combinations are formed by landing 3, 4, or 5 matching symbols or wilds from left to right in a payline, starting from reel 1.

You can play this slot from stakes between 10p and £20 per spin. Adjust your bet per spin by using the + and – buttons that are either side of the stake value. You can also set between 20 and 100 autospins if you wish. This can be done by selecting the ‘Auto’ button and adding a required loss limit before your autospins are set.

A high variance game, the Dracula Awakening RTP is 95.72%, which is slightly lower than average for this type of video slot.

The maximum win here is 5,317 x your stake, which is best achieved during one of the bonus features.

Theme – A frightful time day or night

A gothic-style castle is the setting for the Dracula Awakening slot that offers different features during the day and at night. Day lasts for 16 spins and night lasts for 8.

You’ll see mist at the bottom of the screen and bats occasionally flying around the reels. Although not directly related, the gameplay and eeriness does remind me of Bram Stoker’s 1992 Dracula film.

The reels are set within the castle walls, and you’ll find A to 10 royals as well as higher value symbols including a ring and a lady vampire. The lady vampire is the most lucrative symbol paying 1.5, 3, or 10 x your stake if you land 3,4 or 5 of them on a payline respectively.

There are also three different wilds that substitute for all paying symbols. Land three eclipse symbols in view and you’ll trigger the Eclipse Spins feature, which includes a locked super Dracula mega wild for potentially big wins.

The visuals here are what you’d expect from a vampire-themed slot, with the dark but melodic soundtrack making for a surprisingly pleasant experience with the audio on.

Dracula Awakening Mobile

The Dracula Awakening mobile slot is a great experience on smaller screens with its impressive visuals. The game’s been fully optimised by Red Tiger for play on smartphones and tablets. The colours stand out nicely when winning combinations land, with Android and iOS users able to enjoy the smooth and responsive action in HD.

Dracula Awakening Bonus Features

There might only be one main bonus feature attached to the Dracula Awakening but there’s plenty going on within it to keep things exciting and lively. Highlights include numerous free spins and mega wilds. But what makes these features unique and stand out compared to other bonuses are the actions during the day compared to night.

Eclipse Spins feature

The Eclipse symbol is the game’s scatter and landing three in view will trigger this Free Spins bonus feature. You will see the sun or a moon at the top of the reels as you spin them during the base game. You can only trigger the Eclipse Spins feature during the day, which will award you with 7 free spins initially.

A Super Dracula spanning all 4 rows on the middle reel will appear and will stay locked in for the duration of the free spins. Lady vampires can also appear on the other reels during the spins, and the Super Dracula will bite each one to turn them into wilds. These too will then stay locked in place for the rest of the bonus round.

Landing an Eclipse symbol will add 1 extra free spin to your total. There’s no limit to the number of Eclipse symbols that can land during the free spins round either.

Super Dracula feature

This is where a Dracula Wild turns into a Super Dracula Mega Wild only during the night for potentially bigger wins. It’s 1×4 in size and will only appear on the middle reel. If Super Dracula isn’t included in any winning combinations, the Dracula Wild will not transform.

Dracula’s Bite feature

During the night, Super Dracula turns each lady vampire symbol wild for bigger wins. For example, landing 5 lady vampire wilds on a payline will return 15 x your total stake.

Dracula Awakening Review Summary – Enjoy a bite of the action

If you’re a fan of vampires and horror then you won’t be disappointed with the Dracula Awakening slot from Red Tiger. The unique bonus features with the day and night transitions are fun to experience too.

The visuals are good and the soundtrack is rather calm for a slot related to horror. You can enjoy the audio without worrying if you’re going to be jumping out of your seat.

The maximum win here is 5,317 x your stake. While this is quite generous, the RTP is a little lower than we’d like. It’s got a lot going for it, but we’d recommend giving the demo a go first to see if it works for you.

If you want a vampire or horror related slot with a better overall return on average, check out the ever-popular Immortal Romance from Games Global. The max win here stands at 12,150x with an RTP of 96.86%. Play’n GO’s Wild Blood is another with an above-average RTP and a max win of 12,500x.
