Play Dolphins for Free

Behind the splashing and the vivid colours, this is a 50 line video slot. You can choose to play all 50; or opt for 40, 25, 10 or even just 1. The smallest spin is 1c per line (50c for the full quota) and the version I played would allow bets of $625 per spin. You can gamble after each win (either red / black or suits on the turn of a card) and you can use auto-play.

Regular pay-outs look small when you first see the pay table. What you need to keep in mind is that the stacked wilds mean you’ll often have many wins at the same time – more than making up for this.

The biggest prize for regular symbols is 1000 coins; this is for 5 of the ships. Next comes the treasure for 300, then the fish and pearls for 200. The conch shell is the final unique symbol – worth 150 for 5 of a kind. Playing cards from ace down to nine are also included and pay out smaller prizes.

There are two special symbols. First the all-important dolphin, which is a wild symbol. This will substitute for all the regular symbols listed above – though not the coin (scatter). There are no separate prizes for several wilds in a row; these count as the highest regular symbol (the ship).

Scatters are the gold coin with the dolphin engraved on it. This pays 100x your total spin amount for 5, 10x for 4 and 2x for 3. Getting 3 or more of these anywhere on the reels will also trigger the free games feature.

This is not the most eventful free spins game I have ever played. You start off with 10 spins (a pop-up will tell you this has been awarded). The reels look the same, except for a different colour (blue) background. What I did notice is a lot more of the stacked wild dolphins covering the middle reels than in the main game. This made up a lot of winning combinations. If you get 3+ of the gold coins, you will trigger 5 more spins, which are simply added to your total. At the end of the bonus game, the total is displayed, and when you return to the reels you’ll have the opportunity to gamble this in the same way you do for the regular wins.

This slot looks great, very vivid, colourful and almost luxurious. The game-play is very much like you would expect from a live slot by Ainsworth and is sure to appeal to fans of their bricks and mortar casino games. If you enjoy the aquatic / dolphins theme and prefer more basic slots then this is a great choice for new players – check it out for yourself.
