Inside the game

Captured in the studio's own free demo on 11 September 2026. Nothing below is taken from a press release or another site — it is what the game shows when you open it.

The base game — Dorks of the Deep — The base gameThe base game, set on a reef among ancient columns: the grid is framed like a scroll, with the red octopus perched on the left and the Ocean King, trident in hand, on the right. On screen, the red-haired mermaid, the turtle, the hammerhead shark, the pufferfish and the bearded king, among letters trapped in bubbles. Bottom left, the BUY BONUS button; on the right, the demo bet at €2.00 and a play balance of €5,000.00.

Features — Dorks of the Deep — FeaturesABOUT THE GAME describes a 5-reel, 4-row payline slot and states a maximum win of 10,000 times the bet, achievable in all game modes. FEATURES then covers the EXPANDING WILD REELS: the treasure chest, shown large, spreads across its whole reel and reveals a character whose multiplier tier is fixed — 2x to 9x for the Octopus, 10x, 15x or 20x for the Mermaid, 25x, 50x, 100x or 200x for the Ocean King.

Game rules, page 2 — Dorks of the Deep — Game rules, page 2The adding rule — several Wild Reels in the same winning combination have their multipliers added together — then the DEEP BLUE BONUS GAME, opened by 3 FS scatters landing at the same time, shown here side by side, for 10 free spins. The chest always expands there, winning or not, and the Wild Reel reveals 0 to 3 lives: while it has lives left it stays sticky and gets a new multiplier each spin. The Last Chance feature extends the round for as long as one Wild Reel still has a life.

Game rules, page 3 — Dorks of the Deep — Game rules, page 3The two higher bonuses, each illustrated by its row of scatters. DOWN UNDER, opened by 4 FS scatters, keeps DEEP BLUE and guarantees that a sticky Wild Reel never drops below the character tier revealed at the start. HIDDEN TREASURES, on 5 scatters, keeps DOWN UNDER and additionally guarantees two Wild Reels active on the grid at all times. Both start with 10 free spins.

Game rules, page 4 — Dorks of the Deep — Game rules, page 4SYMBOL PAYOUTS, the paytable at the current bet. The bubble letters run from €1.60 to €3.00 for five; the creatures climb from there — €4.00 for the pufferfish, €6.00 for the shark, €8.00 for the turtle, €10.00 for the mermaid and €20.00 for the Ocean King, the same as five Wilds.

Special symbols — Dorks of the Deep — Special symbolsThe foot of the paytable, with the theoretical RTP the game states, simulated over 10,000,000,000 rounds, then SPECIAL SYMBOLS and the WILD symbol shown large, substituting for all the others. WAYS TO WIN then states that combinations read left to right from the leftmost reel and that the game has 14 possible lines, each drawn out below.

Bonus buy — Dorks of the Deep — Bonus buyThe end of the drawn-out lines, then BONUS BUY and its four buy returns: 96.25% for BONUSHUNT FeatureSpins™, 96.34% for BUBBLY FeatureSpins™, 96.35% for DEEP BLUE and 96.28% for DOWN UNDER. The GENERAL section follows, where the game sets its bet levels between €0.10 and €100.00, feature buys being allowed to exceed that ceiling.

Game rules, page 7 — Dorks of the Deep — Game rules, page 7The SPIN and WIN block, where the game notes that only the highest win per line is paid and that a large amount may be shown abbreviated and rounded down. Then MAX WIN, the section where it states its own ceiling: 10,000 times the bet, after which the round stops on the spot and any remaining free spins are discarded.

Game rules, page 8 — Dorks of the Deep — Game rules, page 8The advanced autoplay settings — number of rounds, session loss limit, single win limit — TURBO PLAY, then the list of KEYBINDS: SHIFT + B or F for the Bonus buy and FeatureSpins™ menu, SHIFT + 1 to 4 to jump to a confirmation page, SHIFT + P for the paytable.

Game rules, page 9 — Dorks of the Deep — Game rules, page 9The end of the panel: the rest of the keyboard shortcuts, ADDITIONAL INFORMATION on the bottom bar, HISTORY — which lists completed rounds only — and the GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS, noting that no depiction of a reel or wheel represents a real device. Right at the bottom, the rules generation date, game version 1.0.0, server version 2.0.317 and the studio's link.
