Dr. Acula
Play at Unibet
Anyone who is hoping that new the release from Rival Gaming, Dr. Acula, is based on the fictional horror movie invented by the main character in the television show Scrubs is in for disappointment here.
Instead, Rival have simply seen the same joke, and looked to capitalise on it with what is, to be fair, an interesting concept for a slot game, and one that was released a little more Halloween, logically.
About the slot
With three reels and five paylines, Dr. Acula is playable from 9p to £75 a spin on all compatible desktop, mobile, and tablet devices.
Different coloured 7s make the lower values here, in a nod to the three-reeled fruit machines of old, while the higher values include drips, test tubes, and Dr. Acula’s assistant, who is a zombie nurse, because of course she is, Dr. Acula is the most valuable symbol, paying out a staggering 1,000x your stake for five on a payline.
The eyes of Dr. Acula himself are creepily glaring out from above the reels, with stonework and a red and black background brining the concept to life.
This slot has the basic graphics of the average three reel slot, but they get a lot more out of it than most.
Gameplay
There is no big feature to speak of here, but there’s a few touches that can lead to nice wins, with multipliers attached to winning combinations to create bigger wins.
You can also win for connecting symbols with a similar theme, for example, a plasma symbol, a syringe symbol, and a test tube symbol, will pay out because all three are associated with blood.
These additions make Dr. Acula a lot more interesting, but it still has the flaws of a three reel slot, mainly less gameplay and worse graphics.
If you like the classic approach, however, you’d struggle to find a better choice.
