How To Play Dorks of the Deep Mobile Slot
It’s time to dive deep into the world of the Dorks of the Deep slot game, where 5 reels come filled with A – 10 air bubble symbols while dorky looking pufferfish, sharks, turtles, Mermaids and Merman’s help create the majority of your wins.
The base game is pretty simple: pays from left to right across 14 paylines where Treasure Chest symbols open up to provide Expanding Wild Reels with huge multipliers up to 200x your bet if you’re lucky.
Its underwater theme is fun and quirky, a fresh change compared to other Hacksaw Gaming slots like Klowns, Duel at Dawn and Slayers Inc.
Its medium volatility makes it a great choice for players who enjoy a mix of frequent wins and big payout potential of up to 10,000 your bet.
Expanding Wilds with up to 200x Multipliers
The Treasure Chest symbols trigger Expanding Wild Reels, covering an entire reel and applying multipliers to wins, whether they show in the base game or the free spins. These Wilds transform into one of three special characters, each offering different multiplier values, ranging from 2x up to 200x.
If multiple Expanding Wilds contribute to the same win, their multipliers are added together for even bigger payouts. Every position within an Expanded Wild Reel acts as a Wild, helping to create winning combinations.
With the potential for stacked multipliers and high-value Wilds, this feature can lead to massive rewards, making each spin an exciting opportunity.
Dorks of the Deep Free Spins
There are three Dorks of the Deep Free Spins features offering exciting ways to win. You’ve got the Deep Blue (triggered with 3 scatters), which grants 10 free spins, where Treasure Chests always expand into Wild Reels and Sticky Wilds last 0–3 lives and respins continue until all disappear. We managed to win 63x our bet during this bonus round.
Then there’s the Down Under Free Spins (triggered with 4 scatters) that works similarly but ensures Wilds never downgrade in multiplier value. We managed to win 116x our bet during this round.
The last is the elusive Hidden Treasures Free Spins (triggered with 5 scatters), which guarantees two Expanded Wild Reels at all times. It’s so elusive even after 500 base game spins; we never managed to trigger it.
That Hidden Treasures can’t even be bought using the Bonus Buy feature, making it a feature that only those with decent bankrolls and a whole lot of patience will continue playing for.
Available in some countries is the Bonus Buy option, which you can use to trigger the free spins quicker, get guaranteed expanding wilds or buy the free spins outright, except the Hidden Treasures bonus, which you’ll have to work hard to get.

Dorks of the Deep Bonus Features
Expanding Wild Reels: When a treasure symbol lands on the 5 reels, it will expand to reveal either an Octopus, Mermaid, or Ocean King. Each one offers a different potential multiplier. If more than one wild multiplier appears, their multipliers are added together.
- Octopus - 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x or 9x
- Mermaid - 10x, 15x or 20x
- Ocean King - 25x, 50x, 100x or 200x
Deep Blue Bonus Game: Land 3 scatter symbols to trigger 10 free spins where any Treasure symbols that land will always expand. Expanded Wild Reels will also reveal 0 - 3 lives and stay sticky on the reel for that number of lives. Land 2 or 3 free spins symbols during the bonus game to trigger 2 or 4 additional free spins.
Down Under Bonus Game: Land 4 scatter symbols to trigger 10 free spins where all of the Deep Blue mechanics are active, and the Sticky Expanded Wild symbols, when they expand, never get a tier of multipliers below what they originally showed. The same additional free spins also apply.
Hidden Treasure Bonus Game: Land 5 free spins bonus symbols to get 10 free spins. It has the same Down Under Free Spins mechanics but is also guaranteed to have two expanded Wild reels at all times. This cannot be bought using the Bonus Buy feature so is incredibly hard to trigger.
