Shaaark! Review
Shaaark! has a shark scare theme. It is an unusual theme and is well executed. The reels are set in the background of a beach. The frightened look on the woman says it all. The symbols are crafted in cartoon caricature style but manage to reflect the gravity of the situation. The wild symbol is the Shark and the scattered symbol is the shark Fin. The other symbols are Man on an inflated tube, frightened Seal, chewed up Surfboard, no swimming Sign and Number Plate from some boat. Presumably the shark has caused a lot of damage. The remaining symbols are high value cards from Ace to Ten.
The wild and scatter symbols get animated when they appear in winning combinations. The wild Shark symbol appears under water heading towards the player and snapping its jaws. This is accompanied by ominous background notes. The Fin symbol is seen circling round and round. There is no background music in the main game but the usual game and win sounds have been incorporated.
There is no progressive jackpot in this slot game. The combinations specified in the pay table pay out in coins when they appear left to right in enabled paylines. These payouts are converted to credits by multiplying by the line bet. Read Full Review |

Full Review - Shaaark! (8.58)
Shaaark! is a 25 payline slot game. Players can enable from 1 to 25 paylines by operating the Lines button below the reels. Players can also choose from 7 coin sizes that range from 0.01 to 10.00. This choice can be made by operating the Bet button below the reels. The players are constrained to wager only one coin per payline, therefore the coin size becomes the line bet. By clicking on the Bet Max button players enable all 25 paylines at the selected coin size and set the reels spinning.
The Shark is the wild symbol. It does not multiply payouts. Five Shark symbols in an enabled payline offer the highest jackpot of 4000 coins. The second highest jackpot of 1000 coins is offered by the Man symbol. The Fin is the scatter symbol. When two or more scatter symbols appear anywhere on the reels then the player gets scatter payouts. The scatter payouts are multiplied by the total bet to convert coins to credits. When three or more scatter symbols appear anywhere on the reels then the free spins feature is triggered. In this feature the player is awarded 10 free spins at doubled payouts. If three or more scatter symbols appear on the reels during the free spins the feature gets retriggered.
The comprehensive Vegas Technology Auto Play feature has been incorporated in this slot game. The player can set the number of auto spins between 5 and 500. The player can also set the time between spins to a value from 0.25 seconds to 2.00 seconds. The Auto Play can be terminated if any of a number of enabled conditions is met. The idea is to cash the winnings if the going is good and to limit the losses if the going is not so good. The most important conditions are to stop the Auto Play when the credits are increased or decreased by a specified amount.
