Shark Park Slot Review

About the Game

Shark Park is a Thunderkick slot featuring a cluster-pay mechanic and a hexagonal grid of 45 symbols. The game includes multiplier Wild symbols (sharks) and a bonus round offering free spins, re-triggers, and sticky multiplier Wilds.

Buy Bonus

A Feature Buy option may be purchased for a cost that is a multiple of the current bet size. A purchase starts a spin that triggers the Bonus Game.

The available options are:

• “Into The Blue” (Bonus Game) (RTP 94,14%);
• “Beneath The Surface” (Bonus Game) – Starts the Bonus Game with an x2, x3, or x5 Multiplier Wild (RTP 94,40%);
• “Blood In The Water” (Bonus Game) – Starts the Bonus Game with an x100 Multiplier Wild (RTP 94,73%).

All outcomes from a Feature Buy pay according to the paytable and in relation to the bet size. The Feature Buy functionality may not be available in all markets.

Bet+

The BET+ option can be activated for a fee that is a multiple of the current bet amount. Once activated, every spin guarantees the occurrence of the selected event until you disable the feature. Payouts for results achieved while the BET+ option is active are calculated according to the paytable and depend on the base bet amount. The BET+ feature may not be available in all markets.

Game Rules

Shark Wilds

Multiplier Wild symbols (depicted as sharks) substitute for standard paying symbols and can carry multipliers of x2, x3, x5, or x100. One such symbol appears after every winning cluster, unless that cluster already included a multiplier Wild. If a winning combination includes one or more multiplier Wilds, the total win is multiplied by the corresponding values. When multiple such symbols are present, their multipliers are multiplied together; for example, Wilds with x3 and x5 multipliers would increase the win by a factor of 15.

Shark Movement and Merging

After the win is awarded, all Multiplier Wild symbols involved in it move to empty positions. If a single winning cluster contains multiple Multiplier Wild symbols, they merge into one Multiplier Wild symbol, and their multipliers are added together. For example, Multiplier Wild symbols with x3 and x5 multipliers combine into a single symbol with an x8 multiplier. Multiplier Wild symbols that were not part of the win remain in their positions.

Bonus Game

The bonus game is triggered by landing 3 Scatter symbols in the base game and begins with 8 free spins. Any multiplier Wild symbols present on the reels carry over into the bonus game. During the bonus game, these Wild symbols become “sticky” (locking in place) and continue to boost winnings, move, and merge. Each Scatter symbol that lands during the bonus game awards +1 free spin (up to a maximum of +3 free spins per spin).

Cluster Pay

A Cluster Pay is awarded when 5 or more identical standard symbols connect (are positioned adjacently). Scatter symbols do not participate in this. Multiple clusters can form simultaneously. The payout amount depends on the number of symbols in each cluster and is multiplied by the values ​​of any Multiplier Wilds that appear. When a Cluster Pay is awarded, all matching symbols of that type are removed from the game grid – including those that were not part of the winning cluster. New symbols then drop into the empty spaces, potentially forming new clusters that also award payouts.
