Dolphin Tale

The Dolphin Tale slot is a 5 reel, 40 paylines game with a Free Spins feature as well as Substitute and Scatter symbols.  It does the basics well, but so to do the vast majority of other online slots these days.  Where it does stand out from other slots as it has 40 paylines, and on this basis alone it's worth having a look at.

It is becoming apparent that there is an ever increasing trend to produce online slot machines with more and more paylines.  Where a few years ago 9 paylines were the norm, we are now seeing slots with as many as 100 paylines and counting.  The Dolphin Tale Slot with 40 paylines sits somewhere in between this, and it's almost as if its testing the ground to see if this number of paylines actually appeals to players.

Whether you agree or disagree with the ongoing trend of more and more paylines, there are a few positives that can be taken from the Dolphin Tale online slot.  It certainly looks great with good clean graphics.  The theme is also fun, and it has a nice little introductory video.  On the playing side of things it is great to see some player interaction within the Free Spins feature, where you are given the option to choose the number of free spins at different multiplier rates (the fewer free spins the higher the multiplier and vice versa).  Another nice touch is that you are given a second Substitute (Wild) symbol within the free spins which goes some way to increasing your chances of landing a decent win.

However, the Dolphins Tale Slot  is far from perfect and it doesn't offer enough that is really different to make it stand out from the crowded market place that the online slots industry has become.  Whilst it's certainly on the better side of average, it just doesn't do enough to catch the attention.
