Bram Stoker's Dracula is a machine that looks intimidating before you've even played it. Designed by Barry Oursler, it combines the gothic atmosphere of the film with three very different multiball objectives and one of the most memorable magnetic ball features of its era.
The Mist Multiball is the headline feature, with magnets grabbing and moving the ball around the playfield in a way that still looks impressive decades later. But the game is really about building towards its various multiballs and learning how to control the centre of the playfield.
It has a reputation for being difficult, and that reputation is deserved. The mist is spectacular; surviving the shots that get you there is the actual game.

Those two bonuses are banked and awarded at the end of every ball, not just the one you earned them on, and they are multiplied by whatever multiball multiplier was running when the mode started. Collected during a triple multiball on ball one, they pay three times.

Strategy tips written by players on PinTips , not by Silverball. Best-voted first.
Three left ramp shots starts Bats mode :arrow_right: Make 15 switch hits quickly to lock in a big bonus value that stays for rest of game
During video mode more points are awarded as the wolves get closer.
The left ramp can be looped for 3 switch hits during Bats which is safer than lobbing it up to the pops and hoping for the best.
If you get a tilt warning while draining you will often lose your bonus. There is a ROM to fix this bug, check with TD if game is in play.
Bats, Rats (or both!) gets a good score on the pop bumpers if you lock a ball in the coffin, this exits to the bumpers (multiball more so).
Right "video" orbit lights the video mode (or starts it once lit) and the machine will give an EXTRA BALL after a certain number of successful video modes.
Avoid multiballs until you're close to starting 2 or 3 of them. Stacking all multiballs is your goal, you don't want to play them alone.
If you're desperate and/or the tilt is loose enough, you can shake the machine to free the mist ball traveling across the playfield.
When Drac crosses his eyes on the DMD, hit the launch button for a silly little easter egg worth basically nothing but a laugh
