Slot machine details and review Shark Bounty

Shark Bounty is one of the more unique slots from PG Soft, particularly if we’re talking about the chosen theme. Rather than go for the usual fishing-themed design that so many others are using, they decided to give us a shark-themed slot machine. Its game area, with 6×5 reels that spin each round, allows for combinations to form via matching symbols that appear 7 or more times, anywhere on the reels. This is called a Pay Anywhere system.

    Who is the Software provider of the slot machine?

    Every slot machine must be developed by a company that invented, designed and put it into operation. Many players eventually find that they only enjoy playing on machines from specific software provider, so they narrow down their selection by preferred brand.

The volatility of this slot

A high volatility slot. Wins are rare, but can be really big. The game has more pronounced fluctuations and can often go without hitting anything for a long time, suitable for players who like adrenaline, higher risk and work with a larger budget. More about volatility here.

Slot theme and symbols

With the action set in the coastal region, somewhere near a landmass that’s visible nearby, this is an ocean-themed design that uses fish and sharks as its major symbols. The story revolves around a shark hunter, a fisherman who goes out at sea to remove these predators. It’s a pretty good design, a bit different from the typical fishing-themed online slot that you can get so easily right now. On the list of symbols, there are a total of 8 variants with which you can form those Pay Anywhere combinations.

Shark Bounty theme and symbols

Getting paid is easy enough, in theory, as even though you need at least 7 matching symbols, they can show up anywhere among the 30 symbols (from 6×5 reels) available each round. A cascade mechanic gets rid of winning symbols, bringing new ones in, and this can lead to more wins and cascades without having to pay for additional spins. For a High volatility slot, the payouts offered in Shark Bounty are on the low side, and especially for a PG Soft release, 5,000x the stake is not that much. RTP looks fine, though, at 96.75%.

Hunter Symbol

This is one of the special symbols that can show up on the reels of Shark Bounty. If it lands, it comes with a prize that’s the same value as the bet you used for that spin. You collect that prize, and you multiply it by the value from Shark symbols, if both types (Hunter and Shark) are around at the same time.

Shark Symbols

Shark Symbols

These are symbols that get added to the reels during spins where you have at least 1 winning combination, following that initial cascading reels mechanic. The multipliers on these Shark symbols range from 1x to 50x.

Mega Shark Feature

Mega Shark feature

These are symbols that are formed out of 5+ Shark symbols, with all their multipliers added up together for this one Mega Shark. This happens at the end of the round, when no more wins come through cascades.

Symbol Scatter Symbol slot Shark Bounty by PG Soft
Scatter Symbol

There is a scatter symbol as well, marked with its own logo, and it comes with the image of a fishing boat on it. It can land on all reels.

Free Spins Feature

You can get access to the main feature if there are 3 or more Fishing Boat scatters visible. The initial 3 scatters give you 10 free spins, and each extra scatter adds 2 more spins (up to 16 free spins possible, for up to 6 scatters). In this feature, the game collects Hunter symbols that land. For every 4 Hunters collected, you get 5 extra free spins and an upgrade for their multiplier (first to 2x, then 3x, 5, and 10x).

Our rating of the game Shark Bounty

Shark Bounty has certain elements borrowed from the fishing category, with prizes that can be collected on the reels, and free spins where you can get higher multipliers for them. Its high volatility and below-average top jackpot are the main issues I have with it. Otherwise, it’s got a theme that plenty will prefer to those with simple fish, and there are some modifiers active for paid spins as well, and that’s not guaranteed in fishing slots (often, it’s only the free spins that allow prizes to be collected). If you’re a fan of fishing-style slots, I’d recommend checking them out. It’s not a game I’d put in the must-try category, though.

Pros

  • A Shark-themed design in a fishing category that usually goes for a less aggressive angle.
  • Good Return to Player, of 96.75%, so in the long run, it’s expected to pay a little better than most slots.
  • You get the chance to collect prizes during paid spins as well, not just during the main feature.
  • A free spins feature where the potential to win big goes considerably higher, particularly if you can get the multipliers to go up in value.
  • The Pay Anywhere game engine, with matching symbols that pay anywhere, and with cascading reels triggering after each win.

Cons

  • A 5,000x top jackpot is not that much when you’re looking at a slot where the risk is also high.
  • High volatility, so it’s expected to be a slot with punishing action, with plenty of losing rounds for the average player.
  • The betting system has several things you can change about it (bet size, level, and fixed-based bet).
