Ooh Aah Dracula Slot Review
What a spooktacular slot! Ooh Aah Dracula was released by Barcrest in March 2024 and has 👏 proved to be very popular thanks to its quirky bold design and unusual symbols, a structure that enables players of 👏 all bankrolls to play it, a hi-roller feature, and of course very rewarding bonus features.
It is based on the legendary 👏 vampire Count Dracula - the fictional character who was introduced to us in a Gothic-horror novel written by Bram Stoker 👏 which was published in 1897. Since then there have been many television shows, movies, games and more based on the 👏 spooky character famous for his fang-like teeth. Despite the spooky, gothic theme of Ooh Aah Dracula, it’s not just a 👏 Halloween themed slot – it’s awesome to play all year round!
The biggest annoyance I have with this slot machine is 👏 the sound that plays out as you spin the reels, not only is it rather weird and creepy, but it 👏 doesn’t play for the duration of a spin. I found that the sounds stop after the symbols fall into place 👏 on the second reel, leaving reels three, four, and five to fall into place with no sound accompanying them. That 👏 might be nit-picking but it’s almost as if it’s an error and even the sounds that play when you have 👏 a winning spin leave me with an empty feeling rather than excitement – the money is always nice though!
Super Structure, 👏 Spooky Symbols
Ooh Aah Dracula contains 5 reels and 10 paylines with stake per line options ranging from 0.01 up to 👏 50.00 – meaning all paylines can be played from 0.10 up to 500 credits – so you can’t complain at 👏 it being too deep or shallow for your pockets! Plus another very attractive quality is that it boasts an RTP 👏 of 96% which increases to 99% in the bonus features – very nice slots odds indeed!
The symbols are very spooky 👏 and rather weird. There is a stacked Wild symbol, a Scatter (stake through a heart), the slot’s logo, a weird 👏 Dracula with sunglasses, spooky castle, female vampire, and playing card symbols which have been designed in a gothic style.
Gamble Big 👏 With Dracula
It’s time to bet big with Dracula by clicking the ‘Hi-Roller’ button – available anytime during normal gameplay. By 👏 doing so you will be presented with a screen offering you two options – a 20.00 or 30.00 game, which 👏 is now a common feature in Barcrest slot machines and found in other slots they have released such as Monopoly 👏 Big Event.
Both of these options see you play 5 spins, and should you be fortunate enough to trigger the free 👏 spins mode you will be rewarded with an additional feature. For activating free spins the 20.00 game will reward you 👏 with the Graveyard Bonus, while the 30.00 game will reward you with the Super Graveyard Bonus and, yes you guessed 👏 it - it takes you to the heart of a dark and dreary cemetery.
It’s not all doom and gloom though, 👏 you are only here to select one of five or six graves to reveal a prize. When you click the 👏 grave a ghost appears along with your reward, with the prizes in the 30.00 game being considerably higher than those 👏 in the 20.00 game.
Stake It or Leave It Free Spins
The free spins feature in Ooh Aah Dracula is spectacular and 👏 promises big wins – unless you get spooked out and decide to chicken out. It requires at least three Scatter 👏 symbols (stake through a heart) to land on the reels in one spin and if you manage to do so 👏 you are also rewarded with one re-spin in an attempt to improve your reward, with the number of Scatters correlating 👏 with the number of free spins, additional wilds, and whether you can ‘stake it or leave it’:
3 Scatters: 15 free 👏 spins with one additional symbol selected at random to be Wild.
4 Scatters: Same as above but you get the option 👏 to play another round of free spins in a take it or leave it decision, with 10 spins and 2 👏 extra Wilds chosen at random.
5 Scatters: Same as how 4 Scatters play except if you wish to risk it after 👏 your second round of free spins you will get 5 free spins with 3 extra Wilds chosen at random – 👏 big wins guaranteed!
As you can see this is a highly rewarding free spins feature thanks to the additional wild symbols, 👏 how much you win is up to how much you are prepared to risk – got what it takes?
