Game Features
Expanding Wild Reels
Treasure Chest symbols play a central role in Dorks of the Deep. When one lands and, if expanded, would contribute to a win, it transforms the entire reel into a Wild Reel. Each Wild Reel unveils a character—Octopus, Mermaid, or Ocean King—each offering different multiplier possibilities:
- Octopus: 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, or 9x multiplier
- Mermaid: 10x, 15x, or 20x multiplier
- Ocean King: 25x, 50x, 100x, or 200x multiplier
The revealed multiplier is applied to every win involving that Wild Reel. Wild Reel positions act as wild symbols, substituting for any other symbol. If several Wild Reels contribute to the same win, their multipliers are combined before being applied. A maximum of one Treasure Chest symbol can land per reel at any time, though they may appear on any reel.
Bonus Games
Deep Blue Bonus Game
Trigger the DEEP BLUE bonus by landing 3 FS scatter symbols in the base game, awarding 10 free spins. In this round, any Treasure Chest symbol that appears will always expand into a Wild Reel, regardless of immediate win potential. Wild Reels may reveal 0 to 3 lives, remaining locked on the grid while lives remain. At the start of each spin, 1 life is deducted from each sticky Wild Reel, and each sticky Wild Reel receives a new random multiplier from any of the available character tiers.
If at least one Wild Reel with lives is present on the final spin, the Last Chance feature is activated. This awards respins and keeps the bonus round active until all Wild Reels have expired. During Last Chance, new Treasure Chests can create additional expanded Wild Reels, which may or may not grant extra lives, up to the maximum already present on the reels. Free spins can be extended if additional FS symbols land:
- 2 FS scatter symbols: 2 extra free spins
- 3 FS scatter symbols: 4 extra free spins
The round concludes when both spins and Wild Reel lives are exhausted.
Down Under Bonus Game
The DOWN UNDER bonus is activated by landing 4 FS scatter symbols in the base game, launching 10 free spins. This round follows the same mechanics as the DEEP BLUE bonus, with one key difference: any sticky expanded Wild Reel always retains the character tier it initially revealed. Multipliers assigned to each sticky Wild Reel are drawn only from the eligible values within their original tier. Additional FS symbols award:
- 2 FS scatter symbols: 2 extra free spins
- 3 FS scatter symbols: 4 extra free spins
Hidden Treasures Bonus Game
The HIDDEN TREASURES bonus is accessed by landing 5 FS scatter symbols simultaneously in the base game, offering 10 free spins. This feature mirrors the DOWN UNDER bonus in all aspects, but ensures that at least two expanded Wild Reels remain active at all times until the end of the bonus round. The following re-trigger rules apply:
- 2 FS scatter symbols: 2 extra free spins
- 3 FS scatter symbols: 4 extra free spins
Symbols and Payouts
The WILD symbol substitutes for all symbols listed in the paytable. Symbol payout amounts correspond to the currently selected bet and can be viewed within the paytable during play. Information on return to player (RTP) is available in-game.
How to Play
- Select your bet level using the arrows; bets can be set between £0.10 and £5.00.
- Press the SPIN button or use the spacebar on your keyboard to begin a round.
- Wins are achieved by landing matching symbols on any of the 14 paylines, from left to right starting at the leftmost reel.
- If bonus scatter symbols land, you may activate one of the game’s bonus features, according to how many scatter symbols appear.
Winning and Balances
Your balance is displayed in your chosen currency. All winnings and combinations are paid as shown in the paytable, with only the highest win per line being paid. Multiple wins across different paylines are combined for a total payout and displayed in the WIN field. During free spins, each spin’s win is shown individually, with an accumulating tally presented in a separate TOTAL WIN display along with the number of remaining spins.
Maximum Win
The highest possible win in Dorks of the Deep is 10,000 times your bet. If this amount is reached in a single round or during bonus features, the game ends the round, displays a notification, and awards the winnings. Any remaining free spins or bonus rounds will be forfeit, and the game resumes on the main screen.
