Great Blue is an ocean slot that turns up on several platforms. This page is about the version in the 3Win8 app. The star of the reels is the killer whale, which does three jobs at once.
Great Blue controls at the bottom of the screen
The control bar sits along the bottom. From there you can keep an eye on your total bet, set the number of active lines and choose a number of automatic spins where autoplay is available. There is also a gamble button, which lets you risk a win on a guess for the chance to increase it. Lose the guess and the win is gone, so use it rarely, if at all.
The killer whale wild
The whale substitutes for every symbol except the scatter, helping you complete paying lines. It can also land as a stack, covering several positions on a reel at once, which gives it a better chance of touching more than one line.
When a whale helps form a win, the payout is doubled. That makes it the symbol you most want to see on the middle reels.
What the whales pay on their own
The whale is also the top-paying symbol. Whales alone on an active line pay:
- a full line of whales: 10,000, the game's top award
- four whales: 2,500
- three whales: 250
- two whales: 10
The matches must sit on adjacent reels along an active payline. The top prize is rare by design, so do not plan a budget around it.
