Software (10)

The software offers all the regular features including an excellent auto play feature. It can be automatically stopped if different events are reached. It can also be used to control the game speed. The other features include enabling or disabling the sound options, playing in full screen mode and using the Bet Max option.

Easy to Understand (10)

Dolphin King is a simple game without any complicated features. All the information given in the game is self explanatory and though Help files have been provided there should not be any need to use them.

Graphics & Sounds (8)

The graphics do not stand out, except for the background to the reels. There is no background music. The only commendable aspect in this section is the animations in the wild and scatter symbol.

Theme and Concept (8)

The slot does little to enhance the Dolphin King theme. Some of the symbols are ocean related but not specifically to the Dolphin King. Even the high value card symbols have not been related to the theme. The absence of a bonus game on the second screen is another lost opportunity to create brand equity for the theme.

Game Features (8)

The absence of a bonus game on the second screen has a significant adverse impact on the game features. The payouts in the free spins are only doubled as are the payouts featuring the wild symbols. If these multipliers had been higher they would have compensated for a bonus game not being offered. The free spins round is triggered through the wild symbols instead of the scatter symbols. This offers a change from the usual mechanism.

Betting Options (8)

On the positive side is the large bet size range that covers bets from 0.01 to 10.00. But a larger range without correspondingly more stops negates the advantage. The absence of some popular bet sizes like 0.02 and 0.10 will be felt. The number of paylines offered is 25, which is sufficient to register frequent hits and keep the interest alive.

Jackpots (8)

The biggest drawback is the absence of a progressive jackpot. The highest fixed jackpot is of 5000 coins, which is about par for online slots without progressive jackpots. But the other fixed jackpots are on the lower side.
