4ThePlayers’ shark-themed slot title has locked in its jaws to claim our Slot of the Week with the 6 Wild Sharks title tailored to the wants and needs of the player.
This six-reel, 4,096 ways slot removes paylines to make wins visually easier to see and includes the wild choice feature which allows players to choose where to place locked wilds.
Speaking on the games launch, Andrew Porter, CEO of 4ThePlayer.com, commented: “6 Wild Sharks really puts you in control of the action, allowing you to configure the volatility of the bonus to exactly how you want it, with over 14,500 different configurations.”
The game includes two wild zones, marked on reels one, two and five, six. In these zones, shark wilds and locked wilds can only exist in these segments.
Furthermore, the title comes with two modes, classic and advanced, the latter is not enabled in the UK. In the advanced mode, players can add locked wilds into the wild zones on the base game using the wild choice feature.
During this round, locked wilds remain in place for all spins. Players can then tap symbols in the wild zones to create locked wilds. As locked wilds are added or removed, costs for other locked wilds may change with each one being priced differently depending on the position of the symbol and number of locked wilds on other reels.
Players can trade free spins for locked wilds, in the free spins round, by clicking on the reels – the more wilds the fewer spins but the more volatile the experience. The player can add up to six locked wilds, going down to one super volatile free spin if they choose.
To activate the free spins bonus, players must land two buoy scatters on reels three and four. Moreover, any shark wilds that land on the reels will become locked wilds for the remainder of the free spins.
SlotBeats spoke exclusively to Henry McLean, co-founder and commercial and marketing director at 4ThePlayer earlier this week about the company’s thought process when making new titles, he claimed: “We make games players will enjoy playing, creating new entertainment experiences.
“I hate to say it, but it seems sometimes the industry has forgotten it’s the entertainment industry and should be about fun and be about creating these new entertainment experiences.”
