Mystic Dolphin Charge Up: Ride the Current for up to 10,000x Rewards

For Mystic Dolphin Charge Up, ReelPlay invites us to dive deep into the chapter of the friendly underwater mammal. The mechanic tying everything bubbling across the five-by-three grid is the provider's usual bar that collects scatters and rewards two different types of wilds and multipliers.

On top of it, there are two ways to open the door to the bonus round, and the longest dive could be rewarded with up to 10,000x your bet.

Last time I played one of ReelPlay's entries with the same mechanics, I waited too long to trigger free spins. This time, I collected three scatters and was in the round on the first spin. But why wasn't I happy about it?

Because, in my opinion, the point is to trigger it equipped. You can’t explore Mariana Trech naked, right?

The way to do so is by banking 20 scatters into the Charge Up Meter, which unlocks one of three boosters: added wilds drop one to three random wilds per spin, contagious wilds spread to surrounding sea creatures, and the multiplier hits every spin up to x5. Filling the meter is also the second route into the bonus round.

That's why, just five spins of regular play brought back only 4.52x my bet, while the potential is much larger.

Since my base game circled around payouts lower than 1.2x my bet, every 10 spins on average, I was out before I could even fill the meter for the first time, and one bonus round couldn't make a difference.

Overall, I've had two below-average sessions on the same system from the same provider, and both of them showed me the main thing to chase here. You'll have to collect as many scatters as you can and hope the bonus round triggers afterwards. So if you're down for a lot of patience, and if your base game holds long enough, I think the grid can really drown in high payouts. But if not, hold your breath.
