Dracula Dracula is arguably the most well-known vampire of all time, featuring in multiple movies, books, and games. The character has featured heavily all through our lives and has even managed to be the inspiration behind the successful NetEnt slot machine Blood Suckers. 2014 saw Dracula Untold hit screens around the world, proving there’s a determination to bring the famous vampire back to life.
