Dracula's Family Introduction
There is a lot going on in Draculas Family, the online and mobile pokies game from Playson. The game features five reels and 15 paylines and is a high volatility game. The game looks like an updated crossover between Dracula and The Munsters, with perhaps a little Monster High thrown in for good measure. The play is fast and spooky and one thing is for sure - no one wants to be a member of this family.
The game and betting
Players have various gaming and betting options available to them. In the spin game, there are standard and special symbols such as the king, queen and jack icons, designed within the theme of the game. Match them up to win the associated prize. In Dracula’s Family, the eyeball is the Wild and can substitute all the other icons in play except the Scatter.
There is also an extra Wild in the form of Dracula’s Twin Boys. If they show up, the little darlings fire a sling shot at the screen and two of the reels change into all Eyeball Wilds, which is a fun feature. The Free Spins Scatter symbol in this game is the Family Crest and this triggers the free spins mode. There are four varieties of free spins, but at the start of play only the Mad Multiplier is available.
After the player has completed three games in this mode, Eternal Love will come up. After this it is Wild Whistle-Heads, followed by Delirious Reels. This might seem an overly-complicated game play but it does add interest and each mode has its own wild features and differing multipliers. One feature that is especially appealing is the ability to collect the total winnings received during the round in play or alternatively to chance it, stake it and gamble.
To gamble, a new game screen will take you to Dracula’s underground tomb where you will be presented with two coffins to choose from. If the door opens and you see gold, congratulations - you have doubled your money. If you get some dust and bats, it is back to the reels to try your luck again.
The look
The game Dracula’s Family has a pretty dark look to it, with the sound effects even creepier than the graphics. The sounds of rattling chains, howling ghouls, shrieking virgins and creaking doors all add to a very frightening feel; however, the organ music over the top does bring it back down to The Addams Family levels. The graphics are very stylish and Mrs Dracula is a bit of an eyeful.
There is a lot going on in the background; however, this is turned off in the mobile version.
Overview
Dracula’s Family is a fun and creepy online and mobile pokies game suitable for players of all levels. Its high volatility could attract some high rollers but anyone just playing for the fun of it will also enjoy this game. The multiple layers of Free Spins are a little dense; however, players will soon get used to the different characters and their functions.
