There are many online slots in which animals play the roles of humans but few as good as Dolphin Tale from Microgaming. The characterizations are appropriate, the graphics are interesting and all the elements are integrated perfectly. You can play Dolphin’s Tale at all Microgaming online casinos like 32Red, All Slots and Platinum Play.

Dolphin Tale is the story of a police force in a town at the bottom of the sea. The high paying symbols are characters associated with the police force. You will meet some of them in the introductory clip, but do check out their descriptions in the payout table. Bobby the dolphin is the rookie cop and awards the highest line payout. The Chief is the surly walrus, Merl the octopus is his multi-tasking secretary, Karl the turtle is the most experienced policeman and Lucile the fish is the attraction of the station. Louie the shrimp and the clam are appropriate as the snitch and the spy respectively. The low paying symbols are the important landmarks of the town. A wrecked ship is the casino. The bank is in the ruins of an ancient building. The police station is secure in a rock. A shell is the motel, a bucket is the salon and an oyster is well chosen as the bar. The detailing of the symbols with subtle comic touches is a treat and so are the win animations of the high paying symbols.

It is easy to get carried away by the visual appeal of Dolphin Tale, but the gaming is equally exciting. It is a 40 paylines slot game in the 5x3 format, which makes for low variance. In the base game the dolphin is the wild symbol. The clam is the scatter symbol. Apart from awarding scatter payouts, it triggers the free spins feature. You can choose from five options. The choice essentially is between more free spins and larger multipliers. At one end are 25 free spins and a multiplier between 2x and 5x. At the other end are 5 free spins with a multiplier between 10x and 20x. An additional wild symbol, the police logo, is added to the reels in the free spins. It may randomly appear on reels 2, 3 or 4.

The maximum total bet is a whopping 200 credits, which will bring in the high rollers as well. You can win up to 15,000 coins in the base game and up to 300,000 coins in the free spins feature.
