Dr. Acula Slots

Dr. Acula is a spooky game that puts an interesting spin on the Dracula legend. In this version, the vampire is a crazed doctor who does all sorts of bizarre experiments with blood.

This 3-reel, 5-payline slot definitely looks fun to play around Halloween time. But does it have replay value beyond Halloween? Find out as we discuss Dr. Acula's atmosphere, graphics, and betting options.

Step Into Dr. Acula's Creepy Castle

This game is essentially Dracula meets Dr. Frankenstein. Rather than the vampire being a traditional bloodsucker, he's instead a doctor who uses blood transfusions to turn his victims into vampires.

The atmosphere features a creepy castle with dramatic piano music playing in the background. You'll also see Dr. Acula's eyes darting around above the title screen as you play.

Symbols include Dr. Acula, 7s, blood vials, blood bags, syringes, and the nurse. The doctor pays the most, offering 1,000 coins for five icons. He also serves as a wild symbol and substitutes for any other icon to form wins.

One great thing about Dr. Acula is its animations. You'll see bats flying around both the screen and inside the reels throughout play. Other animations include the nurse baring her fangs, blood bags pumping, and syringes filling up.

The graphics for both the background and symbols are above average. We're not blown away by the cartoon realism here. But Dr. Acula does a good job of at least making sure you can tell what everything is. We also appreciate the contrast between the black-and-grey background and the more-colorful symbols.

Betting Options

In typical Rival fashion, this game allows you to change your coin size, coins per line, and paylines. All of these options let you get your bet size exactly where you want it.

Dr. Acula also offers an "Auto" option, which allows you to keep the reels spinning automatically with your selected betting options. Keep in mind that Auto is only available during real money play.

Dr. Acula RTP & Volatility

Return to player (RTP) for Dr. Acula isn't available at this time. Most Rival Gaming slots have RTP ranging from 95% to 96%. Therefore, we assume that Dr. Acula pays somewhere in this range too.

The volatility is most likely low, because this slot doesn't feature a huge jackpot or lots of bonuses. Instead, it offers a consistent stream of smaller payouts.

Pay Dr. Acula a Visit Around Halloween Time

The best thing about Dr. Acula is its interesting theme, which transforms Dracula into a deranged doctor. We also like the nurse, blood instrument, and bat symbols that are featured.

The biggest drawback to this slot is the lack of special features. Dr. Acula doesn't offer any bonuses or multipliers. Instead, the only extra is that Dr. Acula serves as a wild symbol.

However, this game is more about the atmosphere and fun theme. That said, Dr. Acula is worth trying if you're looking for a unique slot around Halloween time. You may even find that this game is playable any time of the year.
