Dolphin Shine Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

When it comes to sea life slots you can go fierce or friendly, and Fazi have gone with the latter. A clean, inviting layout of nine paylines across five reels comes with charm, style and several exciting bonus features.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

If you want to bob along at the bottom of the sea, then Dolphin Shine is the way to do it. This isn’t the dark abyss full of monsters that you’d find in some slots but a light blue world full of animated bubbles and colourful plants. The letters and numbers of the card symbols are also bright blue, standing out even stronger because of their white backgrounds. Then there are the sea creatures: fish, crabs, seahorses and rays as well as, of course, the dolphin of the title. Each one is a bold cartoon with a friendly smile, welcoming you to the exciting setting of this slot. Only the soundtrack is a little lacking.

Dolphin Shine RTP and Variance

RTP is one of the first things you look for when you choose a slot, and the 96.17% average of Dolphin Shine is a pretty good starting point. It means there’s lots of potential, though, as always, remember slots are sometimes unpredictable. There doesn’t appear to be any information on how frequent wins are in relation to their size, which means no official variance.

How to Play Dolphin Shine

1. If you want to dive into this watery world, then you’ll be glad to hear that the layout of Dolphin Shine isn’t unlike that in many Fazi Interactive slots, so it should be fairly easy to master.
2. If you do want a thorough explanation of game rules, paylines, symbols and features, then you need to check out the paytable. You’ll find it behind the “i” button, one of several on the bottom left of the reels.
3. Down here is where you’ll also find full screen and volume. The first is just on or off, and the second comes at three levels - all you need to do is click through.
4. On one side of this set of buttons is the display that tells you the value of a credit. On the other, past the ever-changing current jackpot value, is the display for your current balance, available in either credits or cash.
5. You can also see your most recent win and your Total Bet, meaning you can make an informed decision about your budget - how much you can afford to bet, how much you can afford to lose, when you should stop to make sure the game stays fun.
6. As we approach the right of the screen we find some more buttons. Your number of paylines is simply displayed - you can’t adjust it. But below it is your current bet per line and that comes with plus and minus symbols if you want to increase or decrease it.
7. The next button is Gamble, and you don’t need to worry about that until after a winning spin. The cautious players might want to ignore it completely, but high rollers may enjoy the chance to risk double or nothing on their winnings.
8. Now you have a decision to make. There’s an autoplay button, and unlike some slots, it offers you more than just a certain number of automatic spins. You can also incorporate single win, credit increase and credit decrease limits so your game stays under your control.
9. If you don’t want to use autoplay for any reason, then all that’s left is to hit Start, watch the reels turn once and hope they land in a lucky combination.

Bet & Win Sizes

The bet adjustor goes from 0.20 to 500.00, which is a pretty impressive range (though some may wonder why they couldn’t include the minimum 0.10). It means your total bet is between 1.80 and 4500.00.

Your paytable will display symbol values for three, four and five matches (in some cases two as well) based on your current bet. That means it looks like this for a minimum wager:

9 - 0.40, 1.00, 5.00, 20.00

10, J, Q - 1.00, 5.00, 20.00

K, A - 2.00, 10.00, 25.00

Fish - 3.00, 15.00, 50.00

Seahorse - 4.00, 20.00, 80.00

Crab, Ray - 0.40, 5.00, 25.00, 150.00

In addition, when any of these regular symbols form a combination with the Wild, it will double the prize - for instance, the Crab and Ray will go up to 0.80, 10.00, 50.00, 300.00.

Scatter - 3.60, 9.00, 36.00, 900.00

Dolphin Wild - 2.00, 50.00, 500.00, 1800.00

Dolphin Shine Bonus Features

Free Spins

You trigger these by finding three Scatters. There’s a flat rate of 15 spins, with the exciting addition of a x3 multiplier. You can also retrigger them.

Gamble

This is a simple kind of Gamble feature, all based on the turn of a card. Pick whether it will be red or black and you could double your money or lose it all.

Jackpots

As you play, a percentage of your bet may be added to the initial jackpot amount displayed on the screen. As your bet increases, so do your chances of winning, but the actual hit point is chosen at random.

Dolphin Shine Review

Dolphin Shine is the kind of slot that makes you smile. It’s just so friendly and charming in its graphics and layout. The bonus features, from free spins to Gamble to the progressive jackpot, are simple but effective and mean you also get lots of opportunities to win as well as have fun. A good comparison might be the 50 Dolphins slot.
