Sharky Slot Game Review
The title of this slot game brings up images of a cute “Nemo” type character, but in reality it is a pirate-themed slot. And pirates share the seas with rather large sharks.
As we have come to expect from Novomatic, the graphics, overall feel and gameplay are smooth and allow for fast-paced, action-packed gameplay. The control bar is efficient and simple, allowing the player to focus on the action, which is plentiful.
As mentioned before, the graphics and gameplay are crisp, have good zoom in and out effects on winning paylines. The symbols consist of the captain, the ship, the island, the swords, the treasure chest, the compass and of course the parrot. The rest of the symbols are standard cards from 1 to ace.
The parrot, treasure chest and crossed swords are decent paying icons, the smaller payouts are much more common and can be landed with good combinations of high playing card symbols.
The betting range is impressive, from 1 to 100 coins per payline, with denominations ranging from 0.10 to 2.00. This offers the player one of the largest and widest betting ranges in the world of online slot games.
Sharky Wild Symbol
The Captain is the wild symbol, and has advantages, he is the jackpot symbol and the wild symbol, replacing all other symbols except the 3 scatter symbols. The boat, the compass and the sunny island.
Sharky Scatter Symbol
As mentioned above, there are 3 scatter symbols, The Ship, The Compass and The Sunny Island. They are used very differently in the game.
The compass: 3, 4 or 5 will create a win of 45, 180 or 900 respectively, although they will not land any bonus rounds.
- The Ship and the Compass: When the ship appears on the first reel, with the island appearing on the fifth reel, the free spins bonus round is triggered. No payments are earned at this stage.
- The Ship: Every time the ships land on the first reel during the free game round, the captain is lowered into a skiff. It will then row one reel at a time starting from the 1st to 5th reel, one reel per turn. When a treasure chest lands next to him during this crossing, the skipper will swim towards the chest to collect the random prize.
However, when the convincing-looking great white shark crosses his path, the captain is capsized and killed.
During the free spins bonus round, huge wins can be made, as well as the round being retriggered. And it really happens.
It must be said that the way this pirate-themed slot game was developed worked magnificently. The free spins bonus round is very unique
