Quickspin Let The Dogs Out With Tales of Dr DoLittle
By Shane Addinall Apr 28, 2019 Game ReleaseZip around the The Tales of Dr DoLittle in a Zeppelin courtesy of Quickspin, while you enjoy Sticky Winning paylines, Respins, Free Spins, and the chance to win €25,000 on any spin!Quickspin opens the doors to a menagerie of kooky animal symbols, Llama inspired Wilds and sticky winning combinations in their new Tales of Dr Dolittle slot. This is however not a branded slot based on the Eddy Murphy led Hollywood adaptation of the same name. Rather Quickspin has chosen to pay homage to the original stories from the 1920s.
Charming Vintage Look and Feel
The decision to create a slot themed around the original books was an inspired choice. Rikard Hilding, Quickspin Art Director, had this to say about his inspiration for the game:
“It was really fun to make ‘Tales of Dr. Dolittle’, as it’s a really entertaining and playful video slot! When I started working on it, I gathered inspiration from the old musical film about Doctor Dolittle that I used to watch as a kid. To give it a twist, I borrowed a bit of surrealism from ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’, which fits the theme perfectly.”
The sound design and hand-painted look and feel of the game have led Quickspin to create a charming and somewhat quirky experience – a perfect fit for the Tales of Dr DoLittle slot.
Having learnt the secret of animals having their own languages from his parrot, Polynesia, Dr DoLittle zips around the globe in his Zeppelin to help animals in need. In the base game, we see his airship tied to his home, while in the feature games we’re on board the vessel with him on route to save the day!
The 5x3 reels are filled with two special symbols, a twin Llama Wild symbol and a Bonus symbol featuring Dr DoLittle’s trusty Zeppelin. The high-value symbols are made up Dr DoLittle himself, plus three of his animal sidekicks - a bug-eyed Pug, a professional Parrot and a studious Stallion. The low-value symbols are rather run of the mill card suit symbols with a minor flourish and some added foliage.
The music is a light-hearted affair filled with a bouncy tuba, singing violins, a bass cello, some playful trumpets as well as a xylophone and even a few chimes thrown in for good measure. This, more than anything, helps bring the vintage setting of the slot to life.
Sticky Wins Are A Nice Touch
Both on the reels and in the books Dr DoLittle needs funds to support his adventures. This low variance slot allows you to set your stake per spins anywhere from €0.25 up to €100.00 per game. While the healthy 96.7% RTP sees you hitting small wins on a fairly consistent basis. The games 250x jackpot means that at the max bet you could win up to €25,000 on any spin.
The slot does offer some entertaining bonus features:
✓Sticky Win Respins
During the base game, any winning combination on the reels will see those symbols become Sticky, and automatically trigger a free respin. As long as additional matching symbols are added to the reels or new winning combinations are created, the respins will continue. The feature ends once no new wins are added to the reels and the total accumulated winning lines will be paid out.
✓Multiplier Wilds
On the top left of the reels, there are inert multipliers – x2, x3, x4, x5 – waiting to be activated. Landing a Llama Wild on the reels, as part of a winning paylines, will trigger this feature and activate the x2 win multiplier.
Acting in concert with the Respin feature, each new respin where an additional Wild appears on the reels will increase the win multiplier until it reaches the maximum x5! Whichever multiplier level is active at the end of the feature will be applied to the entire win!
✓Adventurous Free Spins
In addition to collecting Wilds above the reels, there is also a counter for collecting Bonus symbols on the far right. This means you don’t need to have all 3 on the reels at once to unlock Free Spins, you can collect them across several respins.
Collecting 3 Bonus symbols will reward you with 10 free games as you board the Zeppelin and spin to win among the clouds. Each free game in this feature is guaranteed to have at least 1 Wild symbol appear on the reels. However, it has to be part of a winning combination to activate the x2-x5 win multiplier.
Given the stacking nature of the win multipliers in Tales of Dr DoLittle, the Free Spins feature cannot be retriggered with free games.
A Tale Of Spins and Wins
Tales of Dr DoLittle is a charming slot with a great vintage look, and the sound design to support it. With its low volatility and generous Return To Player percentage, it is the ideal online and mobile slot for players looking for a relaxing time at their favourite casino. If you’re looking for hard-core slots action with massive jackpots that take ages to conquer this is not the slot for you.
