About
If you were a young British child in the 1980s and 1990s, then you will probably remember the popular vampire duck cartoon Count Duckula. The era of 90s nostalgia has brought Count Duckula back to the public’s attention, albeit as a UK slot machine developed by Blueprint Gaming.
Count Duckula slot has been included in the Jackpot King Network. This series of games has a bonus-symbol triggered progressive jackpot round, which could see you walk away with one of three major cash prizes.
How to Play
The game is played over 5 reels and 40 lines, but there is a two-for-one deal with those paylines, with stakes costing as little as 20p a turn. Maximum bets can rise to £500 a game. The return to player rate is 93.3%.
Feature Symbols
The staked heart wild can replace all other standard symbols, except for picture frames, which act as bonus symbols.
During the base game, the vampire duck, Nanny or Igor may pop up and trigger one of four randomly triggered bonuses. Duckula himself may choose to dish out random wilds or jackpot icons. The latter can trigger the jackpot bonus round. The nanny can deliver colossal 3×3 wilds, while Igor can drop potions (mystery symbols) onto the reels.
Landing five of the jackpot icons on the reels will trigger a crown-collecting game . Collect 15, and you’ll trigger a wheel-based jackpot bonus. In that round, you can either walk away with a progressive jackpot prize or an instant win consolation prize.
Bonus Rounds & Features
When three or more picture frame bonus symbols appear, one of five bonus rounds come into play.
The Tombstone Bonus allows you to pick a gravestone to win cash prizes. The Ancestor Bonus can see you pick picture frames to win multipliers or head to the super bonus with more profitable winnings. In both features, landing Dr Von Goosewing will terminate the rounds.
Dr Von Goosewing also has a free spin bonus to offer. This promises 10 spins with sticky wilds. The Wild Heart Free Spin Bonus offers 10 spins on a special 20-line reel set. Here, hearts can be collected and then redistributed on a final Super Spin as wilds. Duckula’s Big Money Bonus round is essentially a cash-paying fortune wheel. Lastly, there is a decent-paying Raid Fire Cashpot Bonus.
Why You Should Play Count Duckula Slot
Even if you didn’t experience the Count Duckula cartoon as a child, there is enough about this game to appeal to you, not least the three progressive jackpot prizes.
