count jokula slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

The television show Count Duckula has to be the inspiration for the title of this slot! Duckula was a “children’s animated comedy horror” created by Brian Cosgrove and was shown on British television between 1988 and 1993.  The show was also shown in the United States on the Nickelodeon channel, which had previously aired several of Cosgrove’s other shows, including the hugely successful Danger Mouse. It’s a shame that Play’N’Go didn’t manage to get an official license to use Count Duckula in their slot, as the show featured a memorable cast including Igor, Nanny, and Dr Von Goosewing, as well as several amazing villains such as The Crow Brothers, Gaston & Pierre, and the Pirate Penguins.

How does the paytable fare in Count Jokula then? The highest-paying symbol is the joker wild, which will pay you 10x your bet for a full pay line of three-of-a-kind. All of the symbols in this game appear in stacked configurations, meaning it should be possible to hit a full screen of joker wilds for a return of 50x your bet. You’ll need multipliers to reach wins higher than this – see the “Re-Spins of Evil” bonus later in this review for details. The bat symbol will pay you 4x your bet for a full pay line, whilst the stake is worth 2x, and the goblet pays 1.4x for all three symbols. The bottom half of the paytable consists of four fruit-themed symbols, which were almost certainly chosen because of the “classic” three-reel design of the game.

Count Jokula employs the standard Play’N’Go user interface, which means there are several “quick bet” buttons on a row along the bottom of the reels. The left and right buttons allow you to move between the minimum bet of €0.05 per spin and the maximum of €100.00.

base game & MODIFIERS

The base game of Count Jokula has a lot resting on it, considering that there isn’t a full bonus round included in the slot. The 3x3 playfield feels especially tiny in an era when many games feature super-sized grids of six or more reels with five or more rows. The limitations imposed by the small reel set force developers to get creative in order to produce an interesting game. Winnings are only paid for full pay lines of three symbols in Count Jokula, which isn’t surprising given the small playfield.

There isn’t a true bonus round in Count Jokula, but the “Re-spins of Evil” feature is reasonably close to being one. The feature activates any time a winning combination appears on the reels, including at least one Joker Wild on the middle reel.
