Dolphin Gold Stellar Jackpots

This game is no longer available at Monkey Casino.  Sorry about that!  Why not play Dolphin Gold Slot instead?

I always thought that dolphins were among the brainiest of the planet’s creatures and Lightning Box’s Dolphin Gold Stellar Jackpot slot proves it! This is the same Lightning Box that is behind the Chicken Fox slot, so they are no strangers to toon slot or two.

In an immersive underwater world thronging with mammal life, this slot promises a trio of jackpots and a lavish 21 free spins. I had to cast a professional eye over the proceedings to make sure that this game was the real deal.

The Basics

This games is NextGen’s follow up to the smash slot Dolphin Gold, only this time there’s a trio of motivating jackpots for your gaming delectation. The jackpots can be triggered at any point in your play and come in Mini, Minor and Major sizes. Now that sounds like a decent addition to this primate.

The Graphics

This slot delivers you into a convincing underwater world, with tip top graphics and some rather fine animated sea creatures. Keep your eyes open for the shrimps that climb between the reels! It´s not as visually appealing as something like the Wonder Woods slot, but it´s pretty easy on the eye.

The game’s atmosphere is something of a rare find, a blissfully relaxed underwater slot world. There are sounds of waves and the bubbling of water as you spin and win. Prepare for a watery bubble of calm, until the reels start to spin!

The Play

This sea themed treat comes on 4 rows, 5 reels and 40 pay-lines. That´s quite a few more than their other games like Double Play Superbet, for example, which has 25. And that should give you a clue as to how it plays: we´d put this game down as a medium to high volatility slot.

Your bets start low but for the high rollers among you, you can bet up to heady 120. This game is a high rollers paradise, and that’s this primate’s happy place: in the VIP section.

The top scoring symbole are all marine life with a manta ray being the most valuable icon. Capture five of these fascinating creatures on an active pay-line and net yourself a 500 coin payout.

Animal lovers will be delighted to spot a turtle, a stripy fish, coral and a seahorse as the other players on the reels. The lower value icons are the King through nine of the card deck in colourful letters.

A blue dolphin is this game’s Wild and this sleek star swims into action on reels 2, 3 and 4. When the Wild is part of a winning combination you’ll find yourself the beneficiary of a double multiplier too. Much obliged!

That blue dolphin Wild also doubles as a Scatter to trigger the Free Spins feature.
Just to reassure you that you’re not seeing double, there’s also a splendid golden dolphin Wild which is confined to the Free Spins feature. Only the blue Wild can pip this icon on the reels. This magnificent fish only makes its mark on reels 2, 3 and 4 and 5 in this free game mode. Super.

The Bonuses

Free Spins feature

The bountiful free spins game is set off with a minimum of 6 Wild Scatters. You gain free games depending on how many of these feollows you secure to trigger the mode.

Six Scatters will start you off with a reasonable three free games. The numbers quickly stack up with 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12 Scatters generating a rather enticing 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 or 21 free spin respectively.

The special golden Wild dolphins will land and expand sideways on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 during this mode to hopefully make some wins for you.

The Jackpots

This is a game that expects commitment from you to get your hands on the jackpot prizes (these aren’t progressive by the way, but they can be pretty hefty). You need to be playing with a significant 48 coins on each of the 40 pay-lines to be in the running for a prize. As I said, you need to be fully committed to the cause.

To jackpot game is randomly activated and you face a multi-layered bonus game challenge to hit the big time.
Now you’ll find yourself in an intergalactic world with six levels (dolphins in space? Goodness, whatever next?)

You’ll see spaceships and by making picks, you’ll reveal cash prizes. There are even space craft to shoot to collect three matching icons to get you through to the next level. If you have the luck to get through all the levels you’ll be in the sweet spot to trigger the jackpot round. Reminds me somewhat of Moonraker.

Monkey Verdict

The Dolphin’s Gold Stellar Jackpots slot is a combination of rewarding free spins game, large jackpots and a slightly bizarre but thrilling intergalactic jackpot round. This game can generate some nice wins if you back the right dolphin. A strangely alluring game.

4 out of 5 bananas.
