Shark Blitz

Sharks are ferocious creatures me foxy-lovin’ fans surely wouldn’t like meeting face to face. Foxy Bingo fans like foxies better, but it’s no lie that the entertainment industry loves doing shark-themed stuff. While the slot industry hasn’t had a shark hit for a while, Playtech will change it all with the release of the Shark Blitz slot.

It follows the trail of success of Buffalo Blitz, offering blitzy shark action across six reels. It has a unique reel setup, but that shouldn't scare me slick spinners away – the shark's razor-sharp teeth are scarier. The slot looks relatively simple on the surface, but the real 'dangers' lurk within. Deep under the sea's surface, you'll find a gang of sharks you should escape, for which you'll be greatly rewarded.

As is the case with all Playtech slots, me slick slot spinners can expect great visuals paired with excellent audio and sound effects. In this medium variance slot, you can win in 5,625 different ways that give you the chance of Great White-sized wins of 37,500x the bet. That's a sum worthy of swimming with sharks.

Playtech is one of those casino game developers who like to keep things classy. Shark Blitz is a no-fuss slot that has a classic look and feel except for the reels. There are 6 of them, but they come with an unusual setup of 3-5-5-5-5-3. The unorthodox grid is submerged underwater, with all kinds of aquatic fauna gracing it. You’ll see sharks, of course, along with sea turtles and other types of marine animals.

Unsurprisingly, Jaws himself is the highest-paying premium, delivering possible wins of 150x for six on a line. A free games symbol triggers the bonus and a diamond wild that's a nice homage to vintage slot machines. The other marine animals can also pay me slick foxy fans nicely, with wins up to 125x and 100x for six matching symbols.

Of course, card royals are present on the reels as well, offering significantly tinier rewards. The wild can step in to complete winning combinations, although it doesn't pay on its own. The bright shiny diamond plays a multiplier role in the bonus round, which offers blitzier and more rewarding action than the base game.

You need at least three scatters on the reels to get eight free games. Four, five, and six trigger scatters give you 10, 12, and 15 free games, respectively. This isn't your regular free spins round. It comes with a unique Recharge option for each retrigger. By retrigger, I mean landing at least three scatters. In that case, the number of free spins will be reset to the corresponding number of triggers while raising the wild multiplier by +1. Neat.

You can retrigger the bonus round up to 5 times with an x5 multiplier. In addition to this bonus and the other special features, the Shark Blitz slot has another ace in the sleeve. Or rather four in the form of four progressive jackpots that can strike at any time. Call it a jackpot blitz, which Playtech has used several times in the past.

The jackpot game uses a different grid with an 4x5 layout. It features 20 diamonds in a pick'em game that hide different jackpot symbols. Click on the diamond to reveal the symbols and match 3 to win one. Me players can get the chance of impressive progressive jackpots with fantastic rewards, even if they don't pay nearly as much as Mega Moolah, for example.

In Shark Blitz, me slick spinnin' fans get the chance to escape Jaws and win sums of cash. It's an online slot with many surprises so dipping your feet in this water is valuable, even with sharks swimming around. The addition of four Blitz bonuses makes the slot machine extra rewarding, so with a bit of luck and the matching symbols, me foxy-lovin' fans can win a fishy fortune.
