Brides of Dracula Hold and Win Review

While modern day vampires are usually portrayed as young and sexy, iSoftBet has taken a more ‘old school’ approach with Brides of Dracula Hold and Win. Granted, the old Count is about to marry 3 somewhat hot looking women, so we can see why he’s grinning all the time. We doubt these particular ladies are low maintenance however, and the cartoonish visual presentation takes the edge off the somewhat spooky atmosphere.

The big attraction is, of course, the Hold & Win Respins feature, and it’s been spiced up with 4 modifiers that makes this installment stick out from many similar games. In addition, you get 1 of 3 base game modifiers every time the Pick a Letter feature triggers, and one of these can help you trigger the Hold & Win feature. We don’t think Immortal Romance feels threatened, but this is still a decent installment in the vampire genre.

Brides of Dracula Hold and Win Features

The Van Helsing-lookalike is the wild symbol, and he steps in for all regular pay symbols to help you complete winning combinations. The wild is also the most valuable symbol in the game, awarding 20x your stake for 5 of a kind. Regular premiums pay between 6 and 16 x your stake for the same in comparison.

The Hold & Win Brides of Dracula Respins feature triggers whenever you land at least 5 scatter moon cash symbols on the same spin.

You start with 3 respins, and all new cash moon scatters that land become sticky and resets the respins tally to 3 again. Moon cash symbols are worth between 1 and 1,000 x your stake.

In addition, you can land 4 different Reel Booster gems, and you need to collect 3 of the same type in the respective meters above the reels to win a booster:

• Blue gems unlock up to 3 extra rows (1 row per 3 collected).
• Green gems increase all cash symbol values currently present, and this can happen up to 3 times per feature.
• Red gems gives you +1 extra respin per 3 collected, meaning that the respins tally resets to 4, 5 and so forth.
• Purple gems increase the overall win multiplier per 3 you collect (x2, x5 and x10).

You can trigger the Pick A Letter feature on any given base game spin, and you will then pick from 3 sealed letters that overlay the reels. You pick 1 of the 3 to reveal one of the following modifiers:

• Win Spin - awards a bunch of mystery symbols that all transform into the same random pay symbol for a guaranteed win.
• Bonus Add - adds moon cash scatters to the reels for an increased chance of triggering the Hold and Win feature.
• Wild Desire - awards 2 to 5 fully stacked wild reels (Immortal Romance style).

The 200 Spins Brides of Dracula Hold and Win Experience

Nothing too exciting happened in the base game for us, so you can safely skip to 1:25, as this is when we land 6 moon cash scatters to trigger the Brides of Dracula Respins feature. We managed to unlock 1 of the 3 extra rows, and we also benefited from other boosters. See for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

We get that iSoftBet wants to tip the hat to the legendary Immortal Romance, but calling the copycat stacked wild feature “Wild Desire” borders on sacrilegious.

The audiovisual presentation is decent in Brides of Dracula Hold and Win, but the overall atmosphere doesn’t come close to the epicness of Microgaming’s undying classic. On a positive note, this is among the best installments in iSoftBet’s Hold and Win range, so far.

This is mostly thanks to the extra boosters you get in the Brides of Dracula Respins feature, and the hard-to-get multiplier booster is key to cracking the 6,040x potential. The Wild Desire feature pays “only” 400x your stake at the most in this game, but it’s still nice to have another feature to break up the many dead spins you get in the base game grind. Overall, a decent installment compared to similar slots from this developer, but it will hardly dethrone the alphas in the vampire genre.

Pros

• Hold & Win Respins w/ 4 modifiers
• Random pick’em feature w/ 3 modifiers
• Win up to 6,040x your stake

Cons

• RTP of 95.5 % is a bit below average

If you enjoy Brides of Dracula Hold and Win you should also try:

Gold Digger - might not be thematically related, but it comes with a very similar set of features. You get 3 randomly triggered modifiers in the base game, and one of them can help you trigger the hold-and-win style Gold Link respins feature that comes with 4 modifiers. You can win up to 8,230x your stake, and the RTP is an average 96 % in this game.

Immortal Romance Mega Moolah - pairs Microgaming’s two most iconic slots, and both are legendary releases in their own right. You get the same gameplay as in the original IM, but the volatility is higher while the RTP is a bit lower. Being able to win the massive progressive jackpots adds to the thrill though, and the regular max win is still 12,000x your stake.

Outback Gold Hold and Win - is a medium volatile installment in the iSoftBet series, and it takes place in the Australian wilderness.

You get stacked wilds on all reels, and the Hold & Win feature can be triggered with special platinum coins that increase the global multiplier. This can lead to payouts up to 5,000x your stake.
