Dolphin's Pearl Deluxe is a Novomatic underwater slot with a dolphin wild, a pearl scatter and sea creatures such as lobsters, manta rays and seahorses. It uses five reels and 10 paylines, and its free spins round triples every win. The rules are almost identical to Lucky Lady's Charm Deluxe with a different theme. It suits players who like classic slots with one strong feature.
How does Dolphin's Pearl Deluxe work?
You spin a 5x3 grid with 10 paylines. Line wins pay from left to right. The dolphin is the wild: it replaces regular symbols and doubles any win it helps complete. Five dolphins on a line pay a fixed 900x the bet instead.
The pearl in its shell is the scatter. It pays anywhere on the reels, with 3, 4 or 5 pearls paying 5x, 20x or 500x the bet, and three or more trigger the free spins. A gamble option is usually offered after wins.
What are the Dolphin's Pearl Deluxe bonus features?
Three or more pearl scatters award 15 free spins. During the round, all wins are multiplied by three. The dolphin's double win still applies, so a line with a dolphin wild pays six times its base value.
More scatters during the round add another 15 spins, and retriggers can continue. A long retrigger chain with a few dolphin wins is how the larger totals are reached.
Like other Novomatic Deluxe titles, there are no extra modifiers, so the base game and this single free spins round are all there is. The upside is that you always know exactly what you are waiting for, and the rules take only a minute to learn.
Is Dolphin's Pearl Deluxe worth playing? RTP and volatility explained
The RTP is listed at 95.13% across most sources, which is below the online average of around 96%. Casinos can run different versions, so check the paytable.
Volatility ratings vary: OLBG calls it very high, gambling.com says high and another site says medium. The maximum win is also reported differently, with OLBG giving 27,000x and other sources giving lower figures. About one spin in four returns a win, but most are small, so the free spins carry the game.
Tips before you play Dolphin's Pearl Deluxe
- Confirm the RTP in the game info, as figures can differ by casino.
- Expect long base game stretches; most of the value comes from the free spins.
- Skip the gamble feature if you want to keep your balance more stable.
- Play the demo first if you are deciding between this and Lucky Lady's Charm Deluxe, which play very similarly.
- Keep your stake the same through a session; raising it after a loss only increases how fast a very volatile game can drain your balance.
