Sharky Slot

Sharky is a pirate adventure online slot game brought to our screens by Novomatic.

Slot Theme

An adventure of pirates, booty, treasure islands, trimming sails, and avoiding sharks is the name of this game.

You have a chance of winning great riches, if you help the star of our game navigate treacherous, shark infested water to take plundered treasure to a deserted Island burial ground. Avoid the jaws of the Great White shark at all costs, as he will put a damper on your ‘wild’ adventure. 

Symbols and Soundtrack

The happy music of the slot provides the ambiance of an Island get away, with marimba tunes floating on the airwaves. This happy go lucky atmosphere will remain, unless you encounter the eerie sounds from the movie ‘Jaws’, as the infamous dum dum, dum dum attack tune sequence is played out on your very reels, sinking chances of grand rewards in the bonus feature. The 5 white reels are nestled on deep blue background with a Great White Shark swimming near the surface. This is an ever-present reminder of the perils that persist in this adventure of riches.

While the low paying symbols of the standard card deck symbols (10, J, Q, K, and A) are represented on the reels, they maintain the casino slot vibe of the game. The higher paying symbols are however aptly placed to enhance the theme presented. Symbols include: A parrot, pair of crossed cutlasses, and a treasure chest. There are 3 scatter icons in the game, symbolized by a compass, pirate ship, and deserted island.

The wild symbol for this game is represented by none other than our favourite pirate ‘business’ partner, who will substitute for any other symbol to make a winning combination, except the 3 scatters.

Bonus Features

This treasure trove holds within its ranks two potentially lucrative bonus features, sure to keep the festive feel of the game intact:

Gamble Feature

This is a double or nothing game found in international casinos, where you can ‘gamble’ your last win to either double, quadruple, or lose it. Should you press the “Gamble” button under the reels, you will be taken to a mini-game where you will be dealt a card face down. You will need to select whether you think this card is red or black underneath. Should you leave it there you stand a chance of doubling your money if you are correct, or you can go one step further and try to guess what suit the card represents too (heart, diamonds, hearts, or spades). Should you get this correct, you will automatically quadruple your last win. Choose incorrectly on either of these two steps, and you will lose the last win completely.

Free Spins Bonus Round

Should you land a pirate ship scatter on reel 1, and a deserted island scatter on reel 5, you will trigger 10 free spins. A pirate will be lowered from the ship at the start of the round, and will row across the screen towards the island as a floating ‘wild’ symbol, gaining one reel with each spin. 

Should a treasure chest land on or near him, he will abandon his boat to swim out and collect his booty. Beware for the shark symbol though, as landing on this will cause a shark attack, and the boat shall be sunk until another ship can be rolled, or the round ends, whichever comes first. This little bit of animated excitement is the highlight of the game, and can reap in the best wins too.

Summary

If you are a lover of shark games, or have a penchant for pirates, then this light-hearted but addictive little game could wrap you up with a captivating free spins round, which is truly full of fun. So, for some fun in the sun, be sure to give “Sharky” some patience, and plunder some booty, m’matey.
