Slot Summary

A five-reel game that briefly becomes a separate set of prize reels, Dolphin Quest gives its ocean setting a distinct bonus interruption. Originally developed by Microgaming and now listed under Games Global, it keeps ordinary symbol matching separate from the waterfall prize feature. The contrast is between assembling a winning line and revealing direct bonus amounts.
MechanicsDolphin scatters open a prize-reel bonus

How It Plays

Regular payouts follow enabled paylines from left to right. If more than one winning combination qualifies on the same line, only the highest-value combination on that line is paid.

The logo wild can form its own paying combination, while the dolphin scatter does not have a separate combination payout. Its additional role is to activate the dedicated bonus game.

Bonus & Free Spins

Dolphin scatters on reels two, three, and four activate the bonus. Three prize reels then display amounts across a central line; the stopped amounts are added together and already include the total-bet calculation.

How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (Medium). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (96.12%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (1,000×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
