slingo shark week THEME, PAYS, STAKES & SYMBOLS

We live on such an amazing planet that's inhabited by all manner of weird and wonderful creatures. Did you know that the oceans make up the majority of the earth at around 70% and unbelievably around 80% of these waters are largely unexplored. Attempting to broaden our knowledge on this subject and the animals that live within them, are the Discovery Channel and their now famed Shark Week which usually airs around July to August each year.

It's not usually long until mainstream tv programmes and themes make their way into the world of online gambling, and we were thrilled and interested to see how the team at Slingo Originals would make a game out of Shark Week once we had learned that they had teamed up with the discovery channel. I was certainly pleased to see this game land on my desk to review and my initial thoughts were ones of a great design, some super smooth gameplay, and by the looks of it plenty of features to enjoy, but more about that later.

Drilling down into the most basic of aspects of the game we first come to the best sizes. These start at a mere €0.20 a game, with the stakes progressing at a sensible rate before reaching the maximum of €25. Once your stake has been decided, you will then receive 10 spins of the number reel, with the chance for additional spins to be purchased further on into the gameplay. When it comes to return to player percentage the title boasts an RTP of 95.36%, which in Slingo terms is a pretty decent percentage rate to be playing with, especially when you consider their last Slingo Originals last release Slingo Inca Trail had an RTP of just 95.10%.

slingo shark week trail gameplay & modifiers

Slingo Shark Week is played across a 5x5 grid which contains 25 numbers with random values ranging from between 1 - 90. If you're unfamiliar with Slingo games then the concept is very much like the game of bingo, where your main objective is to mark off as many of the numbers on your card as possible to complete winning lines or a full house. In the game of Slingo, each line ( or Slingo ) that you complete will move you 1 position up the prize ladder, which you will find located on the left-hand side of the grid.

As you hit the spin button for the first time the number reel under the grid will become active, revealing either 5 numbers or a combination of numbers and special symbols each time. If a number on this reel matches one in the row above it, then that number will be marked off with a shark symbol. I mentioned that there are special symbols that can appear too, so let's take a look at what these are in the table below.
