Blue Dolphin Slots

This solid 5 reel video slot has made the transition from the live platform over to the online world. The theme is underwater life, and the usual design clichés of bubbles fish and many shades of blue are used. There are 5 win-lines for this game, which is low compared to most Amatic games. This does have the benefit of making the individual wins higher – with a generous top prize of 2000x your total bet. There is a free spins bonus round with tripled wins, and wins involving the dolphin are doubled.

The frame of the reels is a dark blue colour, with a liberal sprinkling of bubbles and logo above the reels which has a certain glow about it. By contrast, the background of the reels is a lighter blue, thought he bubbles are still in place. Symbols are detailed in their design, and have animations which occur when they are involved in winning combinations. Examples are the hermit crab, which pops out of its shell, an octopus, lobster, fish and of course the dolphin. There are some on-theme sound effects too. Standing out from the underwater symbols is a bright and garish crown – there is no explanation offered as to exactly how that fits in with the theme!

Setup and Play for Blue Dolphin

You will not be able to change the 5 win lines for this game – which are fixed in place. You can adjust your bet amounts from a wide range. The smallest bet is 10 coins – and the largest 1000 (10c to $10 if your casino operates in US dollars). After every win you will hear a ticking sound with a chiming tune within it. This is to alert you to the gamble after win option, which lets you bet on the flip of a playing card. Auto-play (start / stop only – not configurable) is also available.

I had to double check the pay table, as the wins looked very high. The biggest single prize is 2000 times your bet for 5 of the dolphins on the reels. This is correct, and the bigger bet sizes are possible due to the smaller number of paylines meaning less frequent wins. 4 dolphins are worth 500x your bet, with 50x for 3, and 2x for just 2. Dolphin symbols are also wild, substituting for everything except for the scatter – and doubling any winning combinations that they become a part of.

Of the regular symbols, turtles and fish have the best prize – paying 150x your bet for 5 down to 5x for 3. Lobsters (80x), Octopi (50x) and hermit crabs (50x) make up the original symbols. You’ll get smaller wins via the (blue coloured) playing card symbols after that.

Scatter symbols also have a big win attached. Hitting 5 of the crowns anywhere on the reels wins you 500x your bet, with 20x for 4, 5x for 3 and 1x for just 2. If you hit 3+ of these you will also trigger the free spins bonus game.

Blue Dolphin Free Spins Bonus Game

This is a generous bonus round compared to many other slots. 3+ of the scatters gets you 15 spins. The twist here is that all wins are tripled. There is no special play or different symbols in use during this bonus game – it is simply a matter of accumulating as many of those tripled wins as possible.

If you hit 3 or more of the crown symbols while the bonus is running, you will add 15 more spins to your total.

Blue Dolphin – Conclusion

After playing this one I can certainly understand how it was a big success as a live slot. All the main ingredients are there, including the potential for a big win from any regular spin. The main attraction is the free spins bonus game. While this is nothing special in terms of game-play, having all wins tripled makes a big difference. Keep in mind that wins which involve the dolphin symbol are already doubled – giving you the potential for some substantial pay-outs and making it a high payout slot machine for other players.
