Dazzle Me takes the spotlight this week with its unique design, colorful theme, and two win-boosting features that together give you the potential to land up to $8,000 per payline!

In Short:

• Dazzle Me is a 76-payline online slot by NetEnt.
• It is available to play at 18 New Jersey online casinos including Golden Nugget, Virgin Casino, SugarHouse, and Unibet Casino.
• The main features of this slot are stacked wild reels and free spins with linked reels.
• The maximum payout of a single line in Dazzle Me is $8,000.

The Basics

Dazzle Me is a 76-payline, 5-reel asymmetrical slot that was released by leading provider NetEnt back in late summer of 2015. The game is unusual in that its reels are of different sizes, the point of which becomes apparent once you trigger one of the special features.

The slot’s bright and sparkly theme, large symbols, and easy gameplay make it perfect for light and easy reel-based fun on both desktop and mobile devices.

First Impressions

The first thing that strikes you about the Dazzle Me slot is it certainly is true to its name in appearance to start with, given its bright and colorful design. The background is like the shimmering sea on a sunny day, like a kind of sparkly mirage in tones of light blue and bright white yellow. Trigger the game’s main feature and this background will be upgraded to a truly dazzling shade of orange.

The reels themselves are pretty unique in that there are three different sizes: reels 1 and 2 hold three symbols each, reels 3 and 4 each hold four symbols, and reel 5 contains five symbols. The gold frame that surrounds the reels creates the feel of a jewelry box, the sort with various sections that can hold rings and earrings, etc., giving the game an expensive and luxurious air.

Following the light visual design, the audio aspect of the game consists of an upbeat, atmospheric soundtrack led by hi-hat taps and synthesizer tones combined with sharp, glittery crescendos whenever you trigger a win.

Symbols

Scoring a win in Dazzle Me generally involves matching three or more symbols along one of the game’s 76 paylines, although the two highest value symbols pay out for just two matches. There are no playing card value filler symbols in this game, with most of the symbols being bright and colorful gems. The two top-paying symbols are the red to yellow 7 and the gold bell.

The rest of this slot’s regular symbols are red, purple, green, and blue gems.

The wild symbol in this game is the signature diamond, which stands in for all other symbols except the free spins symbol to help you make up those winning lines. It also carries an extra benefit, which we’ll look into later.

The somewhat muted Free Spins symbol is the final part of the collection and as you might have guessed, it serves as the trigger for this slot’s main feature.

Dazzle Me Features

While Dazzle Me is far from feature-rich, its two special features make it well worth playing. These are the dazzling wild reels and the free spins. Let’s check them out in more detail.

Dazzling Wild Reels

Some nice win-boosting can come in the form of the Dazzling Wild Reels, which sees one to five reels turning wild via stacks of wild diamonds at random during any spin.

This is a very attractive effect, particularly if you’re lucky enough to land these stacked wilds on all five reels at once!

Free Spins

The highlight of Dazzle Me is the free spins feature, which can be triggered by finding three or more Free Spins symbols anywhere on the reels at once. The number of Free Spins symbols you land will determine the number of free spins you get:

• 3 Free Spins symbols: 8 free spins
• 4 Free Spins symbols: 12 free spins
• 5 Free Spins symbols: 16 free spins

Finally we come to the reason why the reels are all different sizes! During each one of your free spins, either reels 1 and 2 or reels 3 and 4, or both sets at once, will spin in sync with each other as shown in the image above. These are the feature’s Linked Reels and they can dramatically increase your wins.

Dazzle Me Payouts

The amount you stand to win in Dazzle Me depends on the selected coin value, your chosen level, how many symbols you’ve landed along one of the game’s paylines, how many paylines those symbols can be counted on, and the value of the involved symbols.

The coin value and level are multiplied together to give your total bet per spin and it’s this that’s used to work out your payout per line.

Here’s a breakdown of Dazzle Me’s payouts:

Symbol	x2	x3	x4	x5
7	1x bet	12x bet	30x bet	200x bet
Bell	1x bet	8x bet	15x bet	100x bet
Red/purple gem	–	4x bet	8x bet	30x bet
Green/blue gem	–	3x bet	5x bet	20x bet

As you can see, the most you can win from a single line in this game is 200x your bet. The maximum you can bet per spin is $40, which gives a maximum monetary payout of $8,000 per line!

Of course, you can trigger multiple winning paylines in a single spin and with an extra boost from the Dazzling Wild Reels and the free spins with Linked Reels, your win potential is actually much more — up to 152,000 coins according to NetEnt!

Dazzle Me RTP and Volatility

How do the payouts of Dazzle Me compare to those of other games? To find out, we’ll use the industry standard measurements of Return to Player (RTP) and Volatility.

The RTP of a game is defined as the percentage of played funds that is paid out to players over the long run. In other words, it’s the opposite of the house edge, which is the cut the casino keeps. Dazzle Me has a higher than average RTP of 96.9%, almost one whole percentage point above the 96% benchmark. That makes this slot particularly attractive to play in terms of payouts over time.

The Volatility (or Variance) of a slot is the balance between small, frequent wins and larger, less frequent ones, and where on that scale the payouts of a slot lie. Low volatility slots tend to pay out small but often, whereas high volatility slots will offer payouts that are much more unpredictable and variable in both size and frequency. Dazzle Me is a low volatility slot, which means you’ll get a good session out of the game with lots of small, frequent wins.

Ready To Be Dazzled?

Dazzle Me is a simple but unique and entertaining slot that has managed to stay popular despite the unstoppable march of time. Its magic lies not just in its simplicity, but also in its bright and attractive design, its unique asymmetrical layout, and its duo of rewarding features.
