Dolphin Reef is a 20-payline video slot operating on the Microgaming software platform. Set underwater, the game’s wild card is the Dolphin, which only occurs on reels 2 and 4, and the scatter is the Treasure Chest icon. Players can test the slot on this page for free or choose any of the featured Microgaming casinos to play the game for real money.
Prior to diving beneath the sea surface and exploring the reef, players should adjust their wager. The number of active paylines is set by clicking “Lines”, while “Max” chooses all paylines. “Bet” alters the coin size from 0.01 to 5 and “Max” chooses the highest bet. Clicking “Spin” starts turning the reels and “Autoplay” spins them for a preset number of times uninterrupted.
After any win there is an option to press “Gamble” and increase one’s winnings. If players choose the correct colour of the face-down card, their win is doubled and if they guess the suit of the card, it is quadrupled. Wrong guesses, however, lead to the end of the feature. Winnings may be gambled up to 5 times. To leave the round themselves and save their winnings, players should select “Take Win”.
In the Re-Spin feature players can win 5 held re-spins with expanded wilds when 2 Dolphin symbols emerge on reels 2 and 4. Reels 2 and 4 then expand and reels 1,3 and 5 are spun 5 times .
A jackpot of 5,000 coins will be won when 5 Clown Fish icons emerge on an enabled payline.

Dolphin Reef is a game I play from time to time whenever my balance allows it and whenever I don’t have any luck with my standard favorite Marvel slots.
This is a standard 20 payline 5 reel slot from Playtech with a few interesting features. I think this is the only game I know where 3 scatters only provide a bet win and don’t trigger any bonus round. I learned this the very first time I played this game. I was playing on minimum bet and went over 200 spins without hitting a bonus feature. I didn’t read the paytable so I was waiting for 3 scatters to hit. When they finally did I only got a 3 x bet win and thought there was something wrong with the game. I opened the paytable only to find out that the bonus is triggered when the dolphin symbol appears on reels 2 and 4. I was angry and didn’t want to wait any longer so I just moved to another game. Later on I played this game a few more times and had some descent wins on it so I started playing it more.
I like the bonus round here because you get 5 respins with stacked wilds on reels 2 and 4 so you have a chance to hit some nice 5 of a kind combinations. I almost get some descent win every time I get this feature. Another thing I like here is that the wild also substitutes the scatter symbol so you can get 4 or even 5 scatters in the bonus round. It would be better if 4 scatters paid 100 x bet instead of 10 and 5 scatter to pay 200 x bet instead of 100 but still you can have some descent wins.
My biggest win on this game in the bonus round was about 400 euros in Fly casino but I was lucky enough to get the bonus round on a high 5 euros bet.
