Dolphin Gold Stellar Jackpots

Graphics

The scene for our action is beneath the ocean, where lobsters seem to crawl up towers of bubbles between the five reels. The waves lap, the Rays swim and the Seahorses frolic with abandon. Turtles, Clownfish and Anemones make up our other symbols, all animating in accompaniment to a lilting ditty when we score them as winners across the game’s 40 pay-lines. But it is in the randomly-triggered Stellar Jackpot game that the graphics really come to life.

Along with the thunderous, echoey announcement of the bonus feature, we fire through space at light speed on the hunt for a blast ‘em up of epic proportions.

Gameplay

The base game is well designed enough, and delightful to play. Not least when we land the Stacked Wild Dolphins that not only multiply any winning combos they complete x2 but are also the keys to our Free Games feature.

Landing six Stacked Dolphin Wilds delivers three free games, while any 12 grants us 21 free games. Our Wild Gold Dolphins come to our aid during the Free Games round. But just as our graphics take off at warp speed when we land the randomly-triggered Stellar Jackpots feature, so does our game-play.

We have six levels of joyous arcade-style blasting of various meteors, alien ships and satellites to zoom through, with a quick light-speed hop through space between each one. In true blast ’em up style, we lose a life when we reveal a red cross behind one of our targets. But should we advance to the Jackpot Level we will be looking at landing either the Minor, Major or Mega Jackpot. Whichever we match three of, that’s the jackpot we’ll take back to the ocean.

Verdict

This slot is as random as it is epic. The Dolphin Gold slot is playable enough, especially given the win-multiplying Dolphin Wilds and Scatters. But the Stellar Jackpots element takes our graphics, game-play and win potential to the next level. Literally.

Lightning Box ensure that we will be spinning these five reels until we soar into space and land back down with a splash. And beyond.
