Dazzle Me Pokie
The Dazzle Me video pokie from Net Ent is an unusual game where the reels get bigger from left to right, filling up with more symbols of 7’s, bells and colourful gems along the way. It’s not a totally unique feature, but does take a bit of getting used to, especially as it results in the grand total of 76 paylines running through it.
Apart from this feature, this is a fairly conventional online pokie, similar to the famous Starburst and Twin Spin games from the same developer in overall appearance, but there’s some nice bonuses to trigger including wild reels and free spins to help make it stand out.
Although all 76 paylines are permanently active, anyone worried about having to stake at least 0.76 per spin can relax, as the low limit has been set at just 0.20, while there’s a maximum wager of 200.00, so it’s ideal for casual gamers and high rollers alike. Anyone looking for a theme that’s going to dazzle them may find the somewhat plain symbols and abstract style a bit of a let-down though, while those who think even 0.20 is a bit much to stake on an unknown game could test out how it works with free Dazzle Me video pokie versions found at most casinos.

Playing Dazzle Me
A bright blue background, with sparkly highlights sits behind the reels, which are themselves filled with dazzling jewel symbols. The first thing that anyone is going to noticed is the varying reel height, where the 2 on the left are 3 symbols high, the next 2 each contain 4 symbols and the right-side reel has 5 symbols on it.
Blue and green gems will each pay out 3, 5 or 20 coins when landing on adjacent reels across a payline running from the left side, while purple and red jewels are both valued at 4, 8 or 30 coins. There’s only 2 more symbols, each of which is worth a prize when landing on just reels 1 and 2 on a line, and the bell pays 1, 8, 15 or 100x when filling 2, 3, 4 or 5 spots, while the red 7 is worth 1, 12, 30 or 200 for the same combinations.
A diamond is wild, meaning that it can act as any other, with the exception of the free spins symbol, and help to complete winning lines, either filling in any breaks in a sequence, or extending a win across further reels. To make things a bit more interesting, it turns entire reels wild and anything from just a single reel to all 5 can be filled with this symbol at a time. The wild doesn’t have any value of its own, and the pay table doesn’t reveal what players would win if the entire game was covered in it, but it’s going to be a lot. Any time 2 or more reels are fully wild, it’s pretty certain that multiple winning combinations are going to be completed, although not actually guaranteed.
Free Spins
That free spins symbol can turn up in any 3 or more positions, without having to be across a payline, to trigger the main bonus round of Dazzle Me. If 3 land at once, players are awarded 8 free spins, while there’s 12 extra games when 4 appear and if 5 or more free spin symbols are on the reels at once, the maximum of 16 bonus games will play out.
To spice things up a little, a linked reels feature will be in effect during the round, with either reels 1 and 2, or reels 3 and 4 containing an identical mix of symbols. This should make it much easier to land those all-important winning lines, especially if the first reels are matched as players just need the same symbol on reel 3 to claim a prize.
The Verdict
Dazzle Me is an unusual game, as it mixes an interesting reel format with some fairly basic symbols. It’s worth a review of the pay table to see how the paylines run across the reels, but not essential, as once they are spinning it becomes easier to understand that lining symbols up on reels 1 and 2 is quite easy, but getting a full run of 5 is far trickier.
The bell and 7 symbols may be worth the top awards when filling a line, but as they pay out for just 2 of a kind, players should find that they get a few smaller wins from them, while the wild reels and free spins are nice extra features which can lead to multiple combinations landing at once.
Like many Net Ent pokies, it’s not mobile-optimised however, so players will need to spin the reels at a desktop-formatted online casino.
