Dolphin’s Pearl Deluxe is an older slot machine from Novomatic, being released in 2009, and you will notice that its graphics haven’t aged that well. It’s a dated design in some ways, but it’s still better than some of the slots we see released today.

Its symbols give us the image of the Dolphin, Pearls, Manta Rays, Lobsters, Tropical Fish, Seahorses and six of the usual low value Royals.

It’s a developer that has gained its reputation from the land-based market, where they’ve been offering slot machines and other casino games since the early 80s. They have an online division as well these days, called Greentube, so you might see their games under that name as well. So far, they’ve released over 180 casino games online, most of which are slot machines and based on the titles they offered in land-based locations.

In a game area which has up to 10 active lines, Dolphin’s Pearl Deluxe lets you spend anywhere from $0.04 to $10 on each one. This in turn allows for total bets as high as $100 per spin, or as little as $0.40, with all lines active.

It’s a basic game in a lot of ways, and the 5 reels layout, with 10 active lines, contributes to this impression. To create a winning combination, you need at least three symbols of the same type, appearing on the same line and from left to right in consecutive positions.

I like where the game is going, in terms of potential. Each winning combination has the ability to pay up to 9,000x the line bet, and that’s before you apply the multipliers from the free spins, at which point you could triple your winnings.

A game with medium to high volatility, Dolphin’s Pearl Deluxe has the Return to Player set to 95.13%, which is not a lot these days.

Dolphin’s Pearl Deluxe is still a decent game today, even though it’s been over a decade since its release. Appreciated for its big top payouts and features, the slot does have a below average RTP, so that’s one area where it doesn’t do well when placed next to a modern game.
