Dracula Rising: The Count of Darkness Between Blood Bonus and an Expanding Grid

Among flickering candles, fog-wrapped castles and blue roses that carry the scent of a curse, Dracula Rising pulls the player into the heart of an elegant, merciless darkness, where the grid transforms, prizes multiply and the Count himself is the most dangerous Wild of all.

The theme is that of an aristocratic vampire in his Gothic manor: a mysterious red-haired woman, a smiling and ambiguous vampire, a castle silhouetted against a full moon, a blood sphere and a blue rose wrapped in thorns.

The game structure starts with a 5-reel, 3-row grid with 20 active paylines in base mode, expanding to a 5-reel, 5-row grid with 50 paylines during both Standard and Special Free Spins. Wins are awarded with consecutive symbols from left to right on the fixed paylines. The game features 4 low-value symbols, 5 high-value symbols, a Wild, 2 different Scatters and the Blood Bonus Feature symbol. The maximum win is 10,000x the stake.

Dracula Rising Symbols

Among the low-value symbols are the Gothic-styled J, Q, K and A letters, paying from 0.20 to 3.00 euros for 3 to 5 matching symbols.

The high-value symbols are the thorny blue rose, the blood sphere, the night castle, the smiling vampire and the mysterious red-haired woman — the highest-paying symbol, worth up to 15.00 euros for 5 in a row.

The Wild is depicted as Dracula himself and substitutes for any regular paying symbol, but does not substitute for Scatters or the Blood Bonus Feature symbol. The Wild can only appear on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5, and can occupy multiple rows on the same reel or span multiple reels simultaneously.

Dracula Rising Special Symbols

The Standard Scatter displays the text "HE WANTS YOU" and appears on reels 1, 3 or 5. Landing 3 Standard Scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5 simultaneously triggers the Standard Free Spins.

The Special Scatter displays "HE WANTS YOU" on a red frame. It appears exclusively on reel 5 and can only land together with another Standard Scatter. When two Standard Scatters are on reels 1 and 3 plus the Special Scatter on reel 5, the Special Free Spins are triggered.

The Blood Bonus Feature symbol displays the text "YOUR BLOOD WILL BE MINE". It appears only on reel 1, can occupy multiple rows and serves exclusively to trigger the Blood Bonus Feature.

The Main Prizes Area

Above the reels, 15 fixed prizes are always visible, ready to be awarded by the Blood Bonus Feature. The possible prize values are: x1, x1.2, x1.5, x2, x2.5, x3.2, x5, x8, x16, x20, x50, x750, x1500, x2500 and x10000 the stake. During each spin, an additional random multiplier of x2, x3 or x5 can be added to any of the prizes.

Dracula Rising Bonus Features

Blood Bonus Feature

The Blood Bonus Feature triggers when two conditions are met simultaneously: one or more Blood Bonus Feature symbols on reel 1, and one or more Wilds on reels 2, 3, 4 or 5. When triggered, one of the fixed Main Prizes displayed above the reels is awarded; if that prize carries an additional multiplier, the multiplier is applied to the prize amount. When multiple Blood Feature symbols and multiple Wilds appear at the same time, the total number of prizes awarded equals the product of the number of Blood Feature symbols multiplied by the number of Wild symbols present.

Standard Free Spins

Triggered by landing 3 Standard Scatter symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5. The grid expands to 5x5 and the player receives 8 initial free spins. The Main Prizes Area with its multipliers is carried over into the special mode and the multipliers remain in their positions for the entire duration of the feature. During the mode, when two Scatter symbols land simultaneously on reels 1 and 5, the player receives 3 additional free spins.

Special Free Spins

Triggered by landing two Standard Scatters on reels 1 and 3 plus the Special Scatter on reel 5. The grid expands to 5x5 and the player receives 8 initial free spins. The Main Prizes Area is carried over with its multipliers, which remain fixed throughout the feature. In this richer mode, the Blood Bonus Feature symbol is guaranteed to appear on every spin, significantly increasing the frequency at which the Blood Bonus Feature fires. Here too, two simultaneous Scatters on reels 1 and 5 award 3 additional free spins.

Buy Bonus and BOOST Features

Through the BOOST button, players can access several additional features. The Extra Bet (1.5x the stake) increases the chances of triggering Standard or Special Free Spins. The Blood Bonus Feature (20x the stake) guarantees a spin on which at least one Blood Bonus Feature symbol and one Wild land on the reels, without activating either Free Spins mode. Standard Free Spins (80x the stake) guarantees direct access to that mode. Special Free Spins (240x the stake) guarantees direct access to the richest mode. Finally, the Random Bonus (50x the stake) randomly activates one of the three modes: Blood Bonus, Standard Free Spins or Special Free Spins.
