This Dolphin’s Luck 2 mobile slot doesn’t do anything wrong, it just lacks a little zing for a modern slot machine.
What is zing exactly? Well, you know how you can open up a slot game and just be transported into a magical realm? Like in Si Xiang by Iron Dog studios for example?
This isn’t it. In fact this Dolphin’s Luck 2 slot reminded us a little bit of the old-fashioned Dolphin’s Gold with Stellar Jackpot game, which at least was released long enough ago to be allowed to be a little old-fashioned.
What you have here are 5 reels and 3 rows of seahorses, lobsters and fish, with Ace to 9 symbols covering a bland blue background. This is “technically” an underwater slot.
But we could be witnessing sky fish for all the clues we have on the reels or the background.
This was the moment we started paying a little more attention as it’s unusual to see one whole wild reel at all times during the base game.
Usually, you have to wait until the free spins for that to happen.
So reel 4 exclusively spins wild symbols, though sometimes the odd scatter shows up to help trigger the free spins.
Other than that, you’ve got a ‘guess the colour of the pearl’ gamble feature that lets you double your wins if you are brave enough to use it.
You can use it up to 10 times in a row or until your winnings total 10,000 in cash – a tidy sum by most gamble slot standards.
Sometimes we neither love or hate a mobile fruit machine, we just kinda think it’s “OK”. This Dolphin’s Luck 2 game sits in that category comfortably.
You get free spins every 120 spins or so, but with no multipliers, you are really just waiting for a good 5 of a kind win, at any point in the game.
Which is no bad thing, and if the graphics had been a little more distinctive maybe would have been worthy of a 3-star slot review.
As it stands this is really one of those casino games best left for those who really, really, love underwater themes.
And even then, we’d say that the older Pearl Lagoon slot by Play’n GO or Mermaids Millions by Microgaming is more eye-catching with just as simple and easy mechanics.

Wilds: The clam with the pearl is the wild symbol and can be used to substitute for all other symbols except scatter.
Wild Reel: Reel 4 only shows wild symbols and sometimes the occasional scatter.
Scatters and Free Spins: 3 scattered dolphin symbols will trigger 10 free spins. You can re-trigger these bonus free games.
Gamble Feature: After any win, you can choose to gamble your winnings by guessing if the pearl in the shell will be a white pearl or a black pearl.
Guess right and you double your winnings. Guess wrong and you lose them. It's that simple.
We like that reel 4 always has wild symbols spinning, giving us a better chance at catching those 5 of a kind wins.
Which is nice, as that's how you get big wins - a good old fashion line win. Even the free spins, with no multipliers, is just a break for your wallet.
There's nothing wrong with this Dolphin's Luck 2 video slot, but nothing that makes it stand out enough for us to recommend, unless you are really bored and have no better game to play.
In which case, we'd like to introduce you to some little games called the Mermaid's Diamond slot or even Ocean Magic by IGT.
Just saying.
