Understanding Paylines and Ways to Win

Wins in Dorks of the Deep are awarded when matching symbols land on one of the 14 fixed paylines, running from left to right starting at the leftmost reel. The same payline rules apply whether you’re playing in the base game or during bonus features unless otherwise stated. Only the highest win per line is paid. You can review the paytable for symbol values and the number of symbols needed to trigger payouts at your current bet level.

Wilds and Special Symbols

The WILD symbol substitutes for all other symbols in the game, helping to complete winning lines and increase your potential payouts. When special Wild Reel features are triggered, expanded wilds will play a significant role, as described below.

Expanding Wild Reels

The Expanding Wild Reels feature is unlocked whenever a Treasure Chest symbol lands. If, upon expanding, this symbol would create a winning combination, it will transform into a Wild Reel. The entire reel becomes wild and features a character—Octopus, Mermaid, or Ocean King—each offering a unique tier of multiplier values:

  • Octopus: Possible multipliers are 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, or 9x.
  • Mermaid: Possible multipliers are 10x, 15x, or 20x.
  • Ocean King: Possible multipliers are 25x, 50x, 100x, or 200x.

The revealed character's multiplier applies to the entire Wild Reel and is used to boost any winning combinations the reel is a part of. If several Wild Reels contribute to the same win, their multipliers are added together before being applied. Treasure Chest symbols can appear on any reel, but only one may land per reel at a time.

Deep Blue Bonus Game

The Deep Blue Bonus activates when 3 FS scatter symbols appear simultaneously in the base game. This bonus awards 10 free spins and introduces a set of enhanced mechanics:

  • Treasure Chest symbols automatically expand into Wild Reels, even if not contributing to a win.
  • Expanded Wild Reels will reveal 0 – 3 lives and remain sticky for subsequent spins while they still have lives left. Each sticky Wild Reel loses one life at the beginning of each spin.
  • On every spin, sticky Wild Reels receive a new random multiplier from one of the three character tiers.

If any Wild Reel has at least one life left when the last free spin ends, the Last Chance feature activates. This grants free respins and keeps the bonus going until all Wild Reels run out of lives. During Last Chance, new Treasure Chest symbols may land, creating new expanded Wild Reels with or without lives, but the maximum number of lives on any new reel cannot exceed that of an existing Wild Reel. The Deep Blue bonus game concludes when no spins and no Wild Reels with lives remain.

Additional FS scatter symbols that land during this bonus award more free spins:

  • 2 FS symbols grant 2 extra spins.
  • 3 FS symbols grant 4 extra spins.

Down Under Bonus Game

The Down Under bonus is triggered by landing 4 FS scatter symbols at once in the base game, awarding 10 free spins. This bonus uses all mechanics from the Deep Blue bonus, with one additional feature: any sticky expanded Wild Reel will only ever receive a multiplier from the same character tier or higher as originally revealed, never from a lower tier. The specific multiplier is chosen randomly from that tier’s values.

Extra free spins may also be earned during this feature:

  • 2 FS symbols award 2 more spins.
  • 3 FS symbols award 4 more spins.

Hidden Treasures Bonus Game

The Hidden Treasures bonus starts when 5 FS scatter symbols land simultaneously in the base game. You are then awarded 10 free spins. This bonus builds on the Down Under mechanics, but guarantees that two expanded Wild Reels will remain active on the grid for the entire feature.

Additional FS symbols trigger further free spins:

  • 2 FS symbols provide 2 extra spins.
  • 3 FS symbols provide 4 extra spins.

Payouts and RTP Information

Payouts for symbols will reflect your chosen bet size and are shown in the paytable. The game's return to player (RTP) value can be viewed within the game interface.
