How many characters do you know that have the Count before their name? And how many of those happen to also be vampires? You can guess where we are going with the Count Spectacular slot, and we should say that we think the name alone is amazing. But does the slot match that promising start? And is the age of the slot a letdown… or does it offer more to enjoy? Let’s see what we can find out.
Developer details for Count Spectacular
The game is one of the earlier titles to come from the experts at RTG.
Make sure you take a spin of the demo first
The game has demo credits loaded into it, so you can easily use those to help you work out what the game is like to play.
No shocks here with the theme
Even the title suggests a vampire-themed slot, and that’s just what we get. The only surprise is that this isn’t a dark and frightening theme – he appears as a cartoon and looks quite friendly!
Design features in Count Spectacular
The cartoon approach works beautifully here, and there are all kinds of vampire-themed symbols popping up as you play. Look for bats flying around, some garlic, and even the coffins we guess he sleeps in during the day. It is, of course, set at night, otherwise the Count wouldn’t be able to take part, would he?
Are you ready to take a spin around Count Spectacular?
Here we go – a closer look at what to expect when you play. Look out for five reels, and two other surprises… both in the guise of progressive jackpots.
The Count is, of course, a wild symbol, and he is a powerful one too, expanding on any reel he lands on. He’ll substitute for all other symbols apart from one – the castle we think he lives in. This acts as the game’s scatter symbol.
Paylines in Count Spectacular
There are 25 of these, and while they’re not fixed, if you don’t cover them all you could end up missing a prize landing on a line you hadn’t bet on. Go for a smaller coin to cover the lot if you can.
How much are the coins worth?
When looking at your bet per spin, you can consider coin values from one penny and upward. This makes it possible to bet on all those lines for just a quarter.
Don’t forget to check out the paytable
The game has a paytable, of course, showing you the symbols and their prize values. Worth looking at before you take your first spin of the reels.
Bonus features don’t pop up in this game
That’s it on that topic.
Free spins are possible though…
And that’s not all. Firstly, you should know how to trigger the feature. You need to find the expanded Count wild on the first and fifth reels together in the base game. You then get a choice of two rounds to play.
The first one does involve free games – 12 of them, played with a 3x boost for everything won during the feature. The second one involves four respins, but while that sounds disappointing, they are respins of the middle three reels because the Count stays in place as an expanded wild on the first and last reels.
We played the game long enough to get two triggers, so we tried each version. They’re both cool to play.
RTP details absent here
Yes, you might have guessed this would be the case, as no RTG slots get a release with this information. It might vary from one RTG casino to another.
Our rating for Count Spectacular slots
The game is superb, despite its age, and we think the cartoon approach has a lot to do with that. We love the free spins and respins, so there’s plenty here to garner a score of eight out of 10.
Watch for those progressive prizes…
Few players will receive them, but we know the trigger for each is random, and can occur following a paid spin. Fingers crossed…
Demo action is the ideal introduction
The Count is ready to assist you as you get to grips with the practice game.
Play for real when you find the game at an RTG casino
You’ll need an account for this game, as you need to deposit before you play.
