Dolphin Reef

5-Reel 20-line Slots

The object of Dolphin Reef is to obtain winning symbol combinations by spinning the reels.

To play the game:

• A wagering denomination can be chosen by clicking the Click to Change denomination button in the lower left-hand corner of the screen.
• Line bets are chosen by clicking Bet per Line. Each click adds a coin to the line bet. When the maximum amount is reached, clicking the button again resets the line bet to one coin.
• Paylines are chosen by clicking Lines to add a payline, or by using the numbered buttons on either side of the reels. Selecting a high payline includes all the lower ones too. For example, selecting payline 6 also activates paylines 1 through 5. Clicking Bet Max activates all paylines with the maximum bet per line and spins the reels.
• Total bet per game round = line bet X active paylines.
• Clicking Spin spins the reels with the current selection of lines and line bets.
• Reels can also be spun using the Auto Start function. Clicking + or - above Auto Start selects the successive number of spins to be enabled. Clicking Auto Start spins the reels. The Auto Start button changes into Stop during the Auto Start mode of reelspin. The Auto Start mode ends when the reels have been spun the number of times determined by the player, or when the player clicks Stop.
• Wins are calculated according to the paytable. Line win = line bet X corresponding multiplier according to the paytable. Scatter win = total bet X corresponding multiplier according to the paytable. The paytable can be accessed via the Info page.
• On a given payline, only the highest win combination pays while simultaneous winnings on different paylines are added up together.
• In case of a winning spin, the Win field displays the accumulating winnings. The win ticker can be stopped by clicking on the Win field.
• A win activates the Gamble button which, when clicked, opens the gamble page. Winnings can be doubled by guessing whether the next card will be red or black. Clicking Collect adds winnings to the balance and returns to the slot reels.
• Gamble is disabled during the Auto Start function and free spins.

Info page:

• Clicking Info opens the reference screen describing the different game components. Clicking the arrow buttons at the lower right-hand corner of the screen enables navigating between the different info screens.

• The Paytable screen shows all the winning combinations.
• The Free Games screen describes the symbol combinations necessary to enter the Free Games feature and describes the Free Games feature rules.
• The Gamble screen describes how to try doubling the winnings by gambling with them and describes the doubling-up rules.

Paylines:

Active paylines are represented by lines that appear over the reels. Paylines can be activated and their shape displayed by progressively clicking Lines.

Please note: Only active paylines can register wins. The Scatter symbol is an exception to this rule. More information about the Scatter symbol can be found, below.

Please note: There is a difference between the line bet and the total bet. The line bet shows how much is being bet on a single payline. The total bet shows all game round bets. Payouts shown in the paytable are multiplied by the line bet. An exception to this is the Scatter symbol where the payout shown in the paytable is multiplied by the total bet. If winning combinations exist on more than one payline, winnings for each payline are added up.

About payouts: Payouts are listed on the Paytable screen. To find the possible win amount, the line bet must be multiplied by the payout. If two winning combinations occur on the same line, the higher of them is paid out. If more than one active payline has a winning combination, the winnings are added up. The winning combinations must start from the leftmost reel, and the symbols have to be consecutive. The Wild symbol can stand for any other symbol, including Scatter, to make the best possible winning combination.

Scatter symbol The Scatter symbols do not have to occur on a particular payline - if there are three or more Scatter symbols in the results, an additional win is earned. The payout for the Scatter symbols is multiplied by the total bet.

Free Games symbol When the Free Games symbols appear on the second and fourth reels, the Free Games round immediately begins. In the Free Games round, the player is awarded 5 free spins. During the Free Games, the second and fourth reels expand into Wild reels. Like regular Wild symbols, the expanded Wilds also substitute for all symbols. All positions on the expanded reels 2 and 4 substitute for all symbols, except Scatter - the entire expanded Wild reel is treated as one Scatter. During the Free Games, reels 1, 3 and 5 are respun 5 times. The Free Games are played at the line bet, coin size and number of lines of the spin that triggered the Free Games. The Free Games wins are added to the win from the triggering spin, and the Scatter wins. Note that it is not possible to win additional Free Games during the Free Games round, as the reels 2 and 4 are already Wild.

Slot Machine Variants

Below is a brief explanation on every type of slot machine:

3-Reel Standard Slots - these are the most usual slot machines. You bet a certain amount, then spin the three reels and depending on the outcome of the spin, you either win or lose.

3-Reel Max Bet 2 Slots - these machines allow you to bet the maximum of two coins, not three as in Standard Slots.

Progressive Jackpot - a progressive jackpot means that a certain percentage of every bet goes into the progressive jackpot pool. You win the jackpot by obtaining a very high symbol combination, usually only when playing for maximum bet.

Bonus Game - machines that have a Bonus Game require you to obtain a special symbol combination, or collect certain symbols. When you do, you will enter a bonus round, with special prizes waiting for you. Please note that in some games you have to play for maximum bet to qualify for a bonus round.

3-Line and 5-Line Slot Machines - here you specify your bet per payline, and the paylines on which you bet. A payline is the line along which Your total bet is then line bet x number of lines selected. 3-Line Slots have 3 lines for you to choose between, and 5-Line slots have 5.

Multiline Slots - same as above, only these machines have more than 5 lines, usually 8 or 9.

3-Row and 5-Row Multispin Slots - this is the giant leap for slot machines. In multispin slots, after the first spin you choose which reels you want to hold, then spin the rest of the reels again. 3-row and 5-row mean you have 3 or 5 rows of reels, like in multiline video poker you have multiple hands.

 

The Autoplay feature offers you two modes of autoplay - simple and advanced. In simple mode you can set the number of rounds to play. In advanced mode you can set stop conditions such as overall win or loss in addition to the number of rounds to play. Autoplay is available on games which do not require the player to make decisions, such as various slots.

How to use Autoplay

Select the desired coin size, the number of coins to play and activate the paylines. When you do not select those, then Autoplay will automatically use the maximum number of coins and activate all paylines.

To start playing, click on Menu and select Autoplay. The Autoplay option bar appears on the bottom of the window.

In the simple mode you can set the number of spins only.

• Number of spins. Enter the number of rounds you would like to play automatically. Autoplay will stop when that number is reached.

Click on the double left arrow button on the left side of the main Autoplay option bar to enter advanced mode. Autoplay side-bar appears with additional options for Autoplay.

• Stop conditions. These are the events which will cause Autoplay to stop even if the number of spins has not been exceeded. Check the box next to the condition to enable it.
  • Jackpot win. Autoplay will stop if the player wins the Jackpot.
  • Single win more than. Autoplay will stop if the player wins more than the set amount in a single spin.
  • Overall win more than. Autoplay will stop once the player wins more than the set amount. You can enter either a win amount, or an overall balance result - the other field will be adjusted accordingly.
  • Overall loss more than . Autoplay will stop once the player loses more than the set amount. You can enter either a loss amount, or an overall balance result - the other field will be adjusted accordingly.
• Delay between spins. This option determines the time frame between each spin.

To revert back to simple mode, click on the double right arrow button on the left side of the main Autoplay option bar.

After you've entered the number of spins and set the stop conditions (when in advanced mode), click Play to start Autoplay. The Play button changes into the Pause button for the duration of play. Note that It is not possible to change the number of spins or stop conditions while Autoplay is playing. In order to make those changes, the Autoplay has to be paused. Click the Pause button to do so.

Please note that if Autoplay interrupted for any reason, the Number of spins field will show the leftover spins from last time; you will have to click Play to resume Autoplay.

For example, let's say you set Autoplay to 100 spins and an overall win of $25. It takes 17 spins, but finally the winnings reach that amount. Autoplay stops. Now, the Number of spins field will show 83. Of course, you can change the number of spins again.

To close Autoplay and continue playing manually, click the Stop button on the main Autoplay option bar.

Player input

Autoplay allows you to minimize the window and play other casino games or work on your computer while it's running. However, you do need to pay attention to the game from time to time. Slot games have bonus rounds, and if such a round comes up, Autoplay will pause and wait for you to make a decision.
