THE SYMBOLS

Low value symbols are represented by diamonds, clubs, hearts and spades. If the right number of identical symbols land on the same spin, these low value playing card suits can offer between x0.15 and x50 the player’s wager. 

Next up, fishing bait, pliers and tool boxes depict the medium value symbols, offering between x0.25 and x100 the player’s stake. 

Black and yellow fish represent the high value symbols, alongside red fish and piranhas. These symbols can offer between x0.5 and x1,000 the player’s bet. 

Additionally, after every winning combination is formed, shark symbols will drop into play displaying values between x1 and x50. These values will be collected by special hunter symbols that can also appear on the reels, before being awarded to the player’s balance. 

Boat scatters are also available, triggering 10 free spins when three land on the same spin. 

THE DETAILS

This game uses scatter-pays, meaning that wins are formed when seven or more identical symbols appear anywhere across the reels. 

Cascading wins occur in this game, causing winning combinations to disappear after providing their payout prizes. This allows for new symbols to drop in from the top of the reels, while causing the shark symbols to appear in the winning combinations’ places. 

When five or more shark symbols appear across the reels with no hunter symbol to collect them, they will merge to form one 1×1-sized mega shark symbol that combines all of their initial values. This creates more space on the reels to allow more symbols to drop in. 

In the free spins feature, every hunter symbol that appears will be collected in a meter below the reels. Every fourth hunter symbol that appears will upgrade the feature. 

Collecting four hunters awards five extra spins while the hunter gains a x2 multiplier for all shark collects. Eight hunters awards five extra spins while the hunter gains a x3 multiplier, 12 hunters awards five extra spins while the hunter gains a x5 multiplier, and 16 hunters awards five extra spins while the hunter gains a x10 multiplier. 

For every four hunters that are collected beyond those 16, an additional five spins will be awarded while every hunter collect will be increased by x10 the player’s bet. This increases by another x10 for every further four hunters that are collected. 

WHAT THEY SAY

A representative from PG Soft commented: “Shark Hunter hits the market at the perfect time to celebrate the summer and this new title will certainly be reeling players in. There are loads of engaging features for players to get their teeth into as they try to catch a winning haul.”
