How To Play Count Duckula Mobile Slot
The world of vicious vegetarian vampire ducks is brought back to life in this 5 reel 20 line Count Duckula mobile slot.
If you are not familiar with the early 90s British TV series then you probably have no need to even read this Count Duckula slot review.
This is for fans only. You’ve got the Count, Igor, Nanny, Doctor von Goosewings, the time clock and the mansion all represented, as well as generic Ace to 10 symbols.
This is not a scary Halloween slot, but there’s enough atmosphere to bring back a few nostalgic tears for the Saturday morning cartoon fans.
4 base game slot features and 5 bonus games
There’s a lot of bonus features here, and we go through each one below.
Here we will just say two things:
- Nanny’s colossal wilds will add a 3×3 wild on the reels and create the biggest wins of the base game.
- If you have the guts, gamble for that Big Money Bonus game
That last one is a little controversial because when you get 3 scatters you trigger a wheel of fortune, much like in the Golden Temple slot.
You’ll then win one of 5 bonus features, 3 click-me games, and 2 are free spins. Each can pay out at least 20x your bet, and the free spins much more than that.
Will you gamble for The Count Duckula Big Money bonus?
Once you’ve won your feature, you can choose to play it or gambles it. The next wheel you play will let you win the next better bonus, or just instant cash wins.
Mostly you win instant cash, not going to lie. We tried it, at least 80% of the time you get about 15x your bet and never get to play a single bonus game.
But it’s the only way we’ve managed to trigger the Big Money Bonus, and that’s where we’ve won 200 times our bet, and the only special feature where winning that much feels possible.
Duckula slot is technically a jackpot game
It’s part of the Jackpot King progressive slot series, which is part of many Blueprint games and we don’t rate very much.
Mostly because the RTP of this slot machine is soo low because of it; as you play expect only 92.55%. It only increases to a decent 94.89% if you win one of the three jackpots.
And that’s not even a good number. A good number would be at least an RTP of 96% like in Wild Wild Chest by Red Tiger Gaming studios. So even trying to chase the jackpot is next to impossible.
Sure, this Count Duckula slot has a quirky theme and tons of features. But you can’t help, looking at the numbers, to quickly realise that this vampire isn’t as vegetarian as he might seem and will suck you dry eventually.

Count Duckula Bonus Features
Wilds: The heart with the stake running through it is the wild symbol and substitutes for all symbols except the bonus. It's also the highest paying symbol on the board.
Base Game Bonuses: On any spin, one of the three main characters can appear from the side of the reels and walk on to give you one of 4 features:
- Duckula Wilds: Extra wilds will randomly be placed on screen.
- Igor Mystery potion: At least 5 to 10 mystery symbols will land on the reels. All will display the same symbol.
- Nanny Colossal Wilds: A 3x3 giant colossal wild is added to the reels and almost always at least partially lands on screen, if not completely.
- Duckula's Winged Winspsin: Very rare, you can sometimes get extra jackpot symbols added to the reels.
The Duckula Bonus Games: 3 Portraits of the count will trigger a wheel of fortune type bonus that will land on one of 5 possible bonus games.
They go in order of the ones with the least to the most wins:
- Tombstone Bonus: Pick Tombstones to reveal cash prizes.
- Ancestor Pick Me Bonus: Pick Picture frames to reveal multipliers, and 3 Duckula heads will take you straight to the super bonus.
- Dr Von Goosewing Free spins: 10 free spins where any wild that lands will stay sticky until the end of the free spins. Not as effective as you might think like in Lake's Five slot.
- Wild Heart Free Spins: 10 free spins played over 40 paylines instead of 20. Every heart you collect will then be added on the last spin, and that super spin can be re-triggered multiple times.
- Duckula's Big Money Bonus: Spin a wheel and win up to 500x your bet in a single spin. You keep spinning until you land on a Dr Goosewing segment, ie. a win you've had before - much like in Ho Ho Tower by Elk Studios.
Once you've won your feature, but before you play it, you'll have a chance to collect it or gamble it.
If you collect you play the feature as described above, if you gamble it you get another chance at the wheel of fortune.
Except for this time, the only symbols showing is the features next along the line and instant cash wins. (ie. gambling wild heart free spins will leave the reel with only Big Money Bonus symbols and cash wins.).
The gamble is that the cash wins are seldom as much as you could have won on the other 5 bonus features.
