About Dorks of the Deep

Dorks of the Deep is a slot game provided by Hacksaw, featuring 5 reels, 4 rows, and 14 paylines. Bets start at £0.10 and go up to a maximum of £5.00. The game is played on paylines, with wins awarded for combinations of matching symbols on predefined lines running from the leftmost reel.

Game Features

Expanding Wild Reels

Treasure Chest symbols may appear on any reel. When a Treasure Chest symbol lands, it will expand into a Wild Reel if expanding would contribute to a winning combination. Expanded Wild Reels cover the entire reel and reveal one of three characters—Octopus, Mermaid, or Ocean King—each associated with its own range of multiplier values:

  • Octopus: 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x multipliers
  • Mermaid: 10x, 15x, 20x multipliers
  • Ocean King: 25x, 50x, 100x, 200x multipliers

The multiplier shown by the character is applied to the entire Wild Reel. If multiple Wild Reels contribute to the same win, their multipliers are combined before affecting the payout. All positions on an expanded Wild Reel act as Wild symbols, substituting for all other symbols seen on the paytable. Only one Treasure Chest symbol can land on a reel at a time.

Deep Blue Bonus Game

Trigger the Deep Blue bonus game by landing three FS scatter symbols simultaneously in the base game. This feature awards 10 free spins. During this bonus, every Treasure Chest symbol that appears will always expand into a Wild Reel, regardless of whether it contributes to a win.

Expanded Wild Reels in this round reveal between 0 and 3 lives and become sticky, remaining on the reels as long as at least one life is left. At the start of each free spin, one life is removed from each sticky Wild Reel, and they receive a random multiplier from their character tier. The Wild Reels remain until all their lives are used up.

If, after the final free spin, at least one Wild Reel with lives remains, the Last Chance feature activates. This grants additional respins, keeping the bonus going until no Wild Reels have lives left. During Last Chance, new Treasure Chest symbols can still land and create additional expanded Wild Reels with or without lives, but the number of lives on a new Wild Reel does not exceed the number on any currently active Wild Reel.

Additional FS scatter symbols during the bonus grant extra spins:

  • 2 FS symbols: 2 additional free spins
  • 3 FS symbols: 4 additional free spins

Down Under Bonus Game

Landing four FS scatter symbols at the same time in the base game triggers the Down Under bonus game with 10 free spins. The mechanics are similar to the Deep Blue bonus, with an added enhancement: each sticky expanded Wild Reel will never receive a multiplier from a lower tier than the one it originally revealed. Subsequent random multipliers for these reels are always drawn from the same or higher tier as initially revealed. Additional FS scatter symbols provide more free spins as follows:

  • 2 FS symbols: 2 additional free spins
  • 3 FS symbols: 4 additional free spins

Hidden Treasures Bonus Game

Trigger the Hidden Treasures bonus by hitting five FS scatter symbols simultaneously in the base game. This bonus awards 10 free spins and builds on the mechanics of the Down Under bonus. In addition, two expanded Wild Reels are always active on the grid throughout the bonus round. Additional FS scatter symbols award extra spins as follows:

  • 2 FS symbols: 2 additional free spins
  • 3 FS symbols: 4 additional free spins

Symbol Payouts

Payouts for each symbol are displayed in the paytable and reflect the selected bet. The RTP value is displayed within the game.

Special Symbols

The WILD symbol substitutes for all other symbols found in the paytable, helping to form winning combinations.

Winning Combinations

Combinations are formed when identical symbols appear along one of the 14 defined paylines, starting from the leftmost reel and moving right. The base game rules for combinations also apply during free spins and bonus features unless otherwise indicated. Only the highest win per line is paid, and multiple wins on different paylines are accumulated and paid together.
