Jolly Beluga Whales Introduction
Jolly Beluga Whales is an online pokie from Casino Technology. Set in the Arctic wilderness, it features the Beluga Whale and other inhabitants of the frozen North, all hoping to cheer you up by helping you win big.
It’s Cold Up North
The game has a strong Arctic theme, so it’s no surprise that the background features snow, ice floes and dolphins, as well as the corals and shells of the sea bed. The beautiful high-definition graphics will send a shiver down your spine - hopefully, the exciting gameplay will warm you right back up!
Playing the Game
Jolly Beluga Whales is a five-reel, twenty-payline pokie. You can choose your bet amount and the number of lines you want to play, and away you go! The game has an Autoplay feature, or you can spin each game individually. If you choose to play this way, you can gamble your winnings between spins - if you dare. The lower-paying symbols are the traditional Jack, Queen, King and Ace from the playing cards.
Line up three or more of these symbols and you’ll get a prize: three in a row will get you 10 times you initial bet; four in a row will get you twenty; and five of the same symbol will net you 100 times your initial bet. These prizes are small, but they do mount up. Things get more interesting when the Arctic wildlife starts to appear, and also more exciting to look at.
The Puffin and the Walrus are the lowest of these symbols - five of either creature will still get you 100 times your initial wager, but get four in a row for forty times your bet or three in a row for fifteen and things are already looking up. Next are the Arctic Owl and the Arctic Fox. These beautifully depicted predators will net you up to 200 times your initial wager if enough of them show up on your payline.
The highest-paying basic symbol is the majestic Polar Bear. Three Polar Bears are worth 40 times your initial wager, and four will earn you a 500 times multiplier. If this magnificent creature shows up five times on a payline, however, you’ll get a huge bonus of 1000 times your initial bet. The Beluga Whales themselves are the Wild Cards in this game.
They can replace any of the other symbols in a combination, and they also expand randomly to cover more than one payline - so they’re not just jolly, they’re generous as well. The orange Beluga Whale will appear on the second reel, the blue Beluga Whale appears on the third reel and the purple Beluga Whale will only show up on the fourth reel. If you get two Wild symbols simultaneously, you’ll get 15 extra spins for free!
What to Do with the Winnings?
Well, one option is to gamble them! You have the option to play a simple Gamble game after every spin. Guess the colour of a playing card correctly and double your winnings. Guess the suit correctly, and you’ll quadruple your winnings. Get it wrong, however, and you could lose the lot.
