WILD SYMBOL

The whale is the WILD symbol in the game. It substitutes for all symbols except for the SCATTER symbol.

A WILD symbol doubles the win for each winning combination in which it participates. The win for a combination that contains multiple WILD symbols is doubled (despite the presence of more than 1 WILD symbol).

WILD symbols can land in stacks on all reels.

SCATTER SYMBOL

The seashell and pearl symbol is the SCATTER symbol. There is a separate payout for 2 or more SCATTER symbols.

GREAT BLUE JACKPOT

The Great Blue Jackpot is a mystery multi-level progressive jackpot game. The progressive jackpot is accumulated by all the casinos that offer the Great Blue Jackpot™ game. A small percentage of every bet (called the ‘contribution rate’) that is placed by every person eligible to win the Great Blue Jackpot in various online casinos is added to the progressive jackpot pool. There are 4 different jackpots that can be won: Dark Blue (Whale), Light Blue (Shark), Green (Turtle) and Yellow (Fish). The different jackpot levels hold different prize amounts.

The trigger that starts the jackpot game can randomly occur on any main game spin including losing spins. A bet of any size can trigger the jackpot game, but the higher your bet, the bigger your chance to enter the jackpot game. Entering the jackpot game guarantees a win of 1 of the 4 jackpots.

Click CLICK TO START to enter the Great Blue Jackpot. At the end of the jackpot game, a win screen displays your winnings. Click CONTINUE to return to the main game.

The Great Blue Jackpot works like this:

Seed (how much money the jackpots start out with):	Dark Blue (Whale): €40,000 Light Blue (Shark): €2,000 Green (Turtle): €200 Yellow (Fish): €20
Contribution rate (what percentage of each bet goes into the Great Blue Jackpot):	0.99%
Win condition (the result required to win a jackpot):	Entering the Great Blue Jackpot guarantees a win. Collect 3 symbols of the same color to win the corresponding jackpot or wait for the 30-second timer to run out.
Win requirements (what you need to do to be eligible for a jackpot):	Play Great Blue Jackpot™ game.

The jackpot game screen contains 20 coins, each of which hides 1 of the 4 jackpot symbols. Clicking on a coin flips it and reveals the jackpot symbol. Once 3 matching symbols have been found, the player wins the corresponding jackpot. The Great Blue Jackpot game has a timeout timer (30 second). If the player fails to find three matching symbols before the time runs out, the game is automatically played to reveal the player’s prize. Jackpot winnings are added to the main game winnings (if any) and displayed in the Win popup together with any other winnings.

Please note:

• The seed and jackpot values are in EUR in the progressive network and their value in your local currency is dependent on the currency exchange rate specified by the casino.
• The mechanics of the Great Blue Jackpot prohibits simultaneous jackpot wins.
• Imperfections in Internet connectivity may cause you to experience delays in jackpot messages or updates, but they do not affect actual jackpot wins.
• If a jackpot is being discontinued (a game is closed and removed from the casino), you will be notified of it by the casino.
