Tales of Dr Dolittle Slot Overview. Tales of Dr Dolittle slot is a light-hearted casino game that is based on the famously eccentric doctor who could talk to the animals. Dr Dolittle has been a part of popular culture since the 1920s, but this must be the first time he has crossed over into the slot world. “Doctor John Dolittle,” said he: “It is a great pleasure for me to present to the man who rid the seas of the Dragon of Barbary this little token from the grateful people of our worthy Town.” And the Mayor took from his pocket a little tissue-paper packet, and opening it, he handed to the Doctor.

Then his sister, Sarah Dolittle, came to him and said, “John, how can you expect sick people to come and see you when you keep all these animals in the house? It’s a fine doctor who would have his parlor full of hedgehogs and mice! Helping Dolittle in search of a rare cure are his rambunctious animal friends—including Chee-Chee (Oscar® winner Rami Malek), an anxious, self-conscious gorilla; Dab-Dab (Oscar® winner Octavia Spencer), an enthusiastic but bird-brained duck; the bickering duo of cynical, neurotic ostrich Plimpton (Kumail Nanjiani) and chilly-but-chill polar.
Puddleby-on-the-Marsh
Doctor John Dolittle is the central character of a series of children's books by Hugh Lofting starting with the 1920 The Story of Doctor Dolittle. He is a physician who shuns human patients in favour of animals, with whom he can speak in their own languages. He later becomes a naturalist, using his abilities to speak with animals to better understand nature and the history of the world.[1]
Doctor Dolittle first appeared in the author's illustrated letters to his children, written from the trenches during World War I when actual news, he later said, was either too horrible or too dull. The stories are set in early Victorian England, where Doctor John Dolittle lives in the fictional English village of Puddleby-on-the-Marsh in the West Country.[1]
Doctor Dolittle has a few close human friends, including Tommy Stubbins and Matthew Mugg, the Cats'-Meat Man. The animal team includes Polynesia (a parrot), Gub-Gub (a pig), Jip (a dog), Dab-Dab (a goose), Chee-Chee (a monkey), Too-Too (an owl), the Pushmi-pullyu, and a white mouse later named simply 'Whitey'.[1] Later on, in the 1925 novel Doctor Dolittle's Zoo, Whitey founds with the doctor's help the Rat and Mouse Club, whose membership eventually reaches some 5000 rats and mice.
Doctor Dolittle's household does not include a cat, and the animals associated with him express a strong anti-feline prejudice (especially since mice play an increasingly important role). Only late in the series, in the 1933 novel Doctor Dolittle's Return, is a very special kind of cat introduced - a Moon Cat, whose kind developed very different traits to Earth-bound cats and altogether stopped being predators. Even so, the cat initially gets an extremely hostile reception.
Inspiration[edit]
One inspiration for his character appears to be the Scottish surgeon John Hunter.[2][3]
Stories[edit]
The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle
The Story of Doctor Dolittle: Being the History of His Peculiar Life at Home and Astonishing Adventures in Foreign Parts Never Before Printed (1920) begins the series. The sequel The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle (1922) won the prestigious Newbery Medal. The next three, Doctor Dolittle's Post Office (1923), Doctor Dolittle's Circus (1924), and Doctor Dolittle's Caravan (1926) take place during and/or after the events of The Story of Doctor Dolittle. Five more novels followed, and after Lofting's death in 1947, two more volumes of short, previously unpublished pieces appeared.

Gub Gub's Book: An Encyclopaedia of Food (1932) is purportedly written by the pig. It is a series of food-themed animal vignettes. In the text, the pretence of Gub-Gub's authorship is dropped; Tommy Stubbins, Dr. Dolittle's assistant, explains that he is reporting a series of Gub-Gub's discourses to the other animals of the Dolittle household around the evening fire. Stubbins also says that the full version of Gub-Gub's encyclopaedia, which was an immense and poorly-organized collection of scribblings written by the pig in a language for pigs invented by Dr. Dolittle, was too long to translate into English.
Doctor Dolittle's Birthday Book (1936) is a little day-book illustrated with pictures and quotations from the earlier stories. It appeared between Doctor Dolittle's Return and Doctor Dolittle and the Secret Lake.
'Doctor Dolittle Meets a Londoner in Paris' is a short story included in The Flying Carpet, pp. 110–19 (1925), an anthology of children's short stories and poems with illustrations by Cynthia Asquith.
Chronology[edit]
The main events of The Story of Doctor Dolittle take place in 1819 or 1820,[4] although the events of the early chapters seem to be spread over several years. The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle begins in 1839.[5] Backstory references indicate that Dr. Dolittle travelled to the North Pole in April 1809, and already knew how to speak to some species of animals at that date, suggesting that the early chapters of The Story of Doctor Dolittle take place before that date.[6] However, it is possible that the internal chronology is not consistent.
The internal chronology of the books is somewhat different from the publishing order. The first book is followed by Doctor Dolittle's Circus (1924), Doctor Dolittle's Caravan (1926), Doctor Dolittle and the Green Canary (1950), and Doctor Dolittle's Post Office (1923). Only then follows the second book, The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle (1922), continued by Doctor Dolittle's Zoo (1925). After that, the publishing order is restored; Doctor Dolittle's Garden (1927) is followed by Doctor Dolittle in the Moon (1928) and Doctor Dolittle's Return (1933), ending with Doctor Dolittle and the Secret Lake (1948).[7]
The stories, in order of internal chronology, are:
- The Story of Doctor Dolittle (1920)
- 'The Green Breasted Martins' (follows Chapter XII in The Story of Doctor Dolittle; collected in Doctor Dolittle's Puddleby Adventures (1952))
- Doctor Dolittle's Circus (1924)

- 'The Stunned Man' (takes place at the beginning of Doctor Dolittle's Garden; collected in Doctor Dolittle's Puddleby Adventures (1952))
- 'The Story of the Maggot' (given a greatly reduced summary at the conclusion to early printings of Part Two, Chapter 4 of Doctor Dolittle's Garden; collected in Doctor Dolittle's Puddleby Adventures (1952))

Tales of Dr Dolittle Slot Overview
Tales of Dr Dolittle slot is a light-hearted casino game that is based on the famously eccentric doctor who could talk to the animals. Dr Dolittle has been a part of popular culture since the 1920s, but this must be the first time he has crossed over into the slot world.
Quickspin are the inventive developers behind this bright and colourful game. Due to the theme, it contains plenty of animals, as well as several interesting bonus features.
The theme of a man that can talk to animals might seem a bit childish at first. But Quickspin has done a good job of capturing just the right elements to create something that slots gamers of all (legal) ages can enjoy. If you are in the mood for spinning something light and cheerful, with bags of charm, then Tales of Dr Dolittle slot is worth a look. Potential for profit is not the greatest we’ve seen so just how long gamers will stick around remains to be seen.
For now, let’s suspend disbelief and enter an old fashioned world, where anything is possible – even conversing with our animal pals.
Numbers
The game is a pretty one to look at, there is no denying that. The main game is set in the countryside on a gorgeous sunny day. Could it possibly be the outskirts of the fictional town Puddleby-on-the-Marsh? To the left is Dolittle’s house, to the right, a deep blue lake. When the free spins launch, we take to the lovely golden skies in Dolittle’s flying contraption and play with clouds in the background. It is very nicely done and makes the free spins seem to occur as if in a dream.
Music and sound play an important role as well. The music compliments the drama of the free spins and the more laid back nature of the main game. Effects pop up when needed and flow well with the lush graphics. There is nothing over the top or mind-blowing about the audio and visuals, but they have been crafted to a high standard and are extremely pleasing to behold.
Dr Dolittle himself might be unconventional, but the slot arrangement is not. The game is played on 5 reels, and 3 rows, with 25 pay lines crisscrossing the grid.
The UI has the classic Quickspin look to it – which is a good thing. It is understated, easy to use, and stays clear of the reels. Bets can easily be set from 0.25 coins for a few quick spins up to 125 coins if you are feeling exceptionally cashed up and lucky.
Tales of Dr Dolittle is shipped with an RTP rating of 96.7%, and its low volatility has the potential for a fair amount of frequent wins to come your way. Symbols are of fairly low value on their own, but the Multipliers and Respin feature help to bolster these feeble amounts.
Symbols and Gameplay
The main game possesses 9 symbols – 5 low pay, and 4 high pay. We will let you be the judge of what you consider high to be. The 5 low payers are the 9 – A symbols and are worth between 0.16x and 0.96x for 3-5 of a kind. Download huge casino. Whatever your definition of high is, that probably is not it.
So, the high pay symbols then. The first two on the list are Dolittle’s dog Jip and the visually impaired horse Toggle. These two are worth 0.4x, 0.8x, 1.2x the stake. Next is Polynesia, the parrot who taught Dolittle how to speak to animals. He is slightly more valuable at 0.48x, 1x, and 1.6x the wager. Finally, we come to the Dr himself who is worth an underwhelming 0.6x, 1.2x, and 2x the stake.
None of these on their own are likely to get many pulses racing. Factor in the extra features though, and there are much better chances of bagging some decent wins.
Bonus Features
Dr Dolittle Playing Near Me
A couple of clever bonus features have been built into Tales of Dr Dolittle which make a big difference to its profit-making potential. The most common are the Respins, followed by Multipliers and Free Spins.
Respins
After every winning combination that lands, the Respins feature is launched. How it works is that all symbols in the combination are locked in place while the reels spin again. Any new symbols that contribute to a fresh win are locked in place, and the reels spin again. This process continues until there are no more new winners and the total of the win is paid out.
Multiplying Wild
The Wild symbol can substitute for any other except the Free Spins symbols. That’s pretty standard. What Wilds can also do though is multiply wins if they are part of winning combination. 1-4 Wilds result in Multipliers from x2 – x5 which comes in super handy for adding value to those miserly symbols.
Free Spins
Doctor Dolittle 1967 Movie
Land 3 Bonus Symbols and the game rewards you with 10 Free Spins. This is where big money can be made and to celebrate, Dr Dolittle takes to the air where Free Spins are made in the clouds. What makes them so valuable is that at least 1 Wild will land on every spin, and Respins still apply. When these elements work together, it can turn into a fairly lucrative coin fest!
What makes Tales of Dr Dolittle slot so special?
Tales of Dr Dolittle slot is a perfect game if you are looking for something light-hearted to while away some time. It is gorgeous to look at and the sound fits the bill perfectly. Quickspin have used a theme that is so unusual that it is worth investigating just on that basis.
Free play mode is perfect for this because it can feel like a bit miserly after the initial trip to the pay table. A few spins in though and you can see how well the Respins and Wild Multipliers work together to produce satisfying wins.
This is not a game that is going to make you mega-wealthy, but its cute characters and features can work well together to produce substantial results. This is a team effort, and all the better for it.
