Dolphin’s Pearl

If you’ve played your fair share of slots games, you’re probably already familiar with ‘under the sea’ as a game theme. Slots in this vein tend to feature hidden treasure, buried beneath the waves, in addition to a broad cross-section of marine life. In the case of Dolphin’s Pearl by Novomatic (who also created Captain Venture), that’s exactly what you can expect, with lobsters, sea horses, exotic fish and of course, pearl-carrying clams.

While on the face of things Dolphin’s Pearl looks like more of the same, there are a few unique elements of this game that make it a standout in the Novomatic catalogue. Scratch beneath the surface, and you reveal a slots game set across the standard five reels, with no fewer than 10 paylines in play on any given spin. The reels sit against an underwater backdrop of the deep blue sea, with a bubble effect helping complete the vaguely cartoonish graphics.

The main symbols on the reels tend to be various forms of aquatic life, as well as high card symbols, and some particular feature symbols which make it easier to land winning paylines or bonus features as you play through the game. Land any of the value symbols in combinations of three or more across the 10 paylines, and you’ll be awarded with an instant combination win. More details can be found on the game’s paytable, which outlines the respective values for different symbols.

The main game jackpot stands at 900x, with bets ranging from £0.01 to £100.00 per spin, perfect to suit players right across the budget range. The RTP is high, at 95.13% – a nudge above the 95% mark that most people would consider to represent a high paying slot. This percentage reflects the proportion of a game’s takings that are paid out as winnings over the long-term, so anything above 95% should work out as good value, and certainly compares more favourably to other types of slots games.

There aren’t too many bonus features in Dolphin’s Pearl, but the features that are there are often your key to landing bigger spin wins. Otherwise 5 dolphins is your highest payer, at the 900x.

Feature Symbols

The wild symbol is the dolphin, the same symbol that nets you the jackpot when you land five of them in combination on your reels. Ordinarily, these act as a wild, substituting in place of any symbols you’re missing, and helping make life a little easier when it comes to completing paylines. The only symbol it won’t switch for is the scatter symbol, which is responsible in its own right for triggering the game’s main bonus feature.

The scatter symbol is the pearl inside an oyster, and three or more of these symbols anywhere across the board will trigger the free spins bonus round. Note that you don’t have to line these symbols up on any particular payline – it’s a simple 3 anywhere on the reels you need to kickstart the bonus feature.

Bonuses & Jackpots

The bonus round is a free spins bonus, with players awarded instantly on triggering the feature. This comes in the form of 15 free spins, and anything you win in this round is doubled, which can make this feature especially high paying. It’s also possible to retrigger the bonus when you spin too, allowing you to line up an additional 15 free spins to follow on from your current batch.

There’s also a Gamble feature, which is common to Novomatic slots. This allows you the chance to take your winnings and gamble them a stage further if you’re feeling especially lucky. We don’t usually recommend this type of feature, which can distort the RTP, but if you fancy it, it’s available to help you go double or quits on your spin winnings.
