Review

Like many Real Time Gaming slots, The Shark online slot machine uses the same 'bridge' interface that is the perfect go-between from the traditional 3 reel casino styled slots to the more adventurous feature-filled video varieties. There are a total of six regular icons that you can create line combinations from including a starfish, a seahorse and an octopus. Look for the starfish symbol as five across an active payline will drop you the top awards and if your spin used the max bet then you'll be smiling all the way to the bank after dropping the progressive jackpot. The icons and actual slot are immaculately designed with pristine illustrations of personified sea-creatures all in a slightly more advanced Disney-cartoon style. Animation is also highly effective for the reel spins but also appears for the bonus features in a highly apt method. Sounds too play a big part in this slot especially to create the right casino atmosphere. The usual sounds from the 3-reel variations are reused here from small wins and dropping coins but more adventurous techniques are used in other parts such as the bubbling water effect during reel spins. Keep in mind there are two scatter icons available too; the treasure chest, or The Shark. Match three of each from a spin and you will reach one of the two brilliant bonus features.

The Shark is a great video penny slot and has all the attributes to be a favourite amongst the gaming community. The progressive total (its ticker located at the bottom left of the screen) is a wonderful prize to aim for, yet the many line multipliers available and the rewarding bonus rounds make this a game packed with prizes. The theme itself is the 'cherry on top' as it provides a great level of humour and entertainment to allow you to get the most out of this slots experience.

Progressive Jackpot

Just below the reels you will see the progressive total ever accumulating waiting for you to drop it. Spin five pink starfish across an active payline from a max bet spin to release it into your account. After it is dropped it will immediately re-start from 1,000.00 (already it's a total that can't be won from the usual line multipliers). Fingers crossed you are one of the luckier gamers who can outsmart The Shark for his treasure.

Scatter Symbol

As mentioned earlier there are two scatter symbols available; the treasure chest or The Shark. Spin three of either symbol across the reels from a spin and you will be taken to their respective bonus features.

Bonus Rounds

Spin three of the treasure chest across the reels and watch as randomly one of the chests will open up and reveal their credit-prize. Win up to 495 credits from this one simple bonus game.

Look to spin the more attention-grabbing shark icon (holding a 'royal flush' of playing cards to hint at what's to come) to send you through to his bonus round. A playing card is revealed and you are asked to guess whether the next card will be higher or lower in value to the last one. Each successful guess will grant you some credit prizes. Aces are always high!

As mentioned above you need to spin three dollar sign symbols to trigger the first bonus game. After they have been revealed from a spin the symbols rise off their reels and combine with each other in the middle of the screen to show you your prize in credits...up to 350 credits!

Spin three or more of the mystery bag icons and you will be transported to a separate screen with the chance to win up to 4,000 credits. You will be greeted to a square grid with 16 squares each containing a glimmering question mark. Click away to reveal the hidden credits behind them but be careful not to choose an 'X' otherwise your time at this profitable game will be cut short!
