The eternal allure of oceanic wildlife meets contagious simplicity of slots in Dolphin Quest, a new Australian Hybrid-style video slot from Microgaming.

With every spin, a colourful menagerie will reveal itself against the stunning seascape complete with corals and seaweeds of the oceanic floor. You can meet beautiful dolphins, sea turtles and octopuses, which rank as the most valuable game symbols; you will also have time to marvel at delicately painted sea horses, as well as a funny-looking, but potentially poisonous puffer fish… After all, in Dolphin Quest, the layout of 4×5 Reels leaves plenty of space for all these creatures to parade across the screen.

However, if you are not a fan of the scenic route, an Autoplay button is here to help you speed up your progress through the spins. And then there are special symbols. Most notably, the ever-present Wilds are in Dolphin Quest also presented as exciting Stacked Wilds and Multiple Wilds, doing wonders for your winning chances!

The crown of all features is a special Bonus Game, triggered whenever 3 or more Scatters land on reels 2, 3 or 4. Once you get onto the bonus waterfall screen, you’re in for a guaranteed win – an amount of which will be added to your regular payline winnings. Equally triggered are Free Spins, a classic gambling treat that lets you play more while spending less.

Dolphin Quest allows for bets that range from 0.01 to 0.50 per payline. In a game that features 50 Lines, this means that a highest possible win reaches up to $75 000 for spins where a maximum bet is placed.

With a music score that will take you on an imaginary journey to a warm island, and with the animation that will bring to you the wildlife of the surrounding sea, Dolphin Quest is a true gem among sea-themed video slots.
