Dolphin Gold Stellar Jackpots
The wombat says: No, you’re not going crazy Wombat Fans. Dolphin Gold Stellar Jackpots, is an updated version of the original Dolphin Gold slot! And we are not talking Stella as in the Belgian amber nectar, we are talking stellar as in the Starscape slot – you know, astronomical, galactic.
But this time there’s an interactive Stellar Jackpots Bonus Game that can be triggered any time during your play. Here you could win a Mini, Minor or Major cash prize, with the Major prize being £2000. Wowsers!
What’s new?
Not a lot, truth be told. But one big difference is the betting requirement. This game from Next Gen (the people behind the Fairies Forest slot machine) is the Stellar Jackpots version requires a minimum of 48 coins on all 40 paylines. ‘Hey, Big Spender!’ And then there’s the Stellar Jackpots Bonus Game of course, but more on that below. This game slots right in there with other like the Mad Mad Monkey slot, plus of course you have the progressive jackpot to play for.
Game Play
Naturally, the Dolphin Gold reels have a marine theme, and are made up of a whole host of sea creatures that include seahorses, rainbow fish, turtles, manta rays and of course, dolphins. The Wild in this game is Blue Dolphin symbol that appears on reels 2, 3 and 4 only. It will replace all other symbols on the screen to make up winning combos AND will give you a 2x multiplier. This Dolphin Wild also works as a scatter, so land a minimum of 6x of the smooth-skinned sea mammals and you’ll set off the Free Spins.
There’s another wild in Dolphin Gold slot that comes into play during the Free Spins round, and that’s the Golden Dolphin. It will appear on reels 2,3 and 4 to help scoop you wins.
Free Spins Round
The number of spins you’ll receive depend on how many Blue Dolphin Wild Scatters you got in the first place. So: 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 10x, 11x, or 12x Scatters = 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, or 21 Free Spins.
It’s during this Bonus Round that the Gold Dolphin Wilds are active. Aside from the standard Wild role, they’ll also stack up by expanding across the reels during the game.
Stellar Jackpots Bonus Game
Lightning Box Games introduced this feature while back, and it pops up in quite a few of their games nowadays.
So what’s the deal? Randomly triggered, the game consists of 6 levels and you’ll need to work your way through them to try and win one of 3 tasty jackpots!
Each level presents a set of spaceships to select in order to reveal a cash prize. Players are taken to an intergalactic 2nd screen and must shoot and destroy as many of the space objects as possible.
Each object reveals either a cash prize, an ‘X’ or an arrow to the next level. The X means the round is over and it’s back to the base game, but if you make your way through all 6 rounds you’ll find yourself at the Stellar Jackpot level.
Here you have to shoot all the ships on the screen until you land 3x matching symbols. These will determine which Jackpot you’ll actually scoop – either the Mini, the Minor, or the Major.
Conclusion
Dive in to Dolphin Gold Stellar Jackpots slot – there’s heaps of pay-out possibility here thanks to the Expanding Wilds and generous Free Spins. And while the Stellar Jackpots bonus makes zero sense in an underwater-themed slot, it’s a nice added extra.
