The goal is simple: Kill Dracula, kill his concubines, kill his werewolves, destroy his rats, scare his bats, and overcome Dracula's mist. It's pretty standard pinball fare, with {{video mode}}s, ball locks (known as Castle and Coffin Locks), and other such pleasantries. Its main gimmick is its three multiball variations, such as "Multi-Multiball" and "Mist Multiball", where a magnet would drag the ball across the field until it was knocked loose by another to start it. Even so, it's held in high regard by many players for its gameplay, which manages to be fast, simple, yet deep all at the same time, requiring true mastery for high scores.

* GoldenSnitch: The only realistic way to score multiple billions of points in a few minutes is to stack all three multiballs. Somewhat averted in that it takes a good amount of deliberate setup to get the whole stack going.

* GameBreakingBug: On earlier revisions of the software, getting a tilt warning while the ball is draining denies the player their end-of-ball bonus despite the fact that they didn't actually tilt. Considering that the Bats and Rats bonuses can get quite large, this can be infuriating to players who had taken the time to build up a huge bonus.
