Shark School Pokie

The game brings an Aussie right to school where young sharks are trained. Despite the scary design of the school, visiting it is a relatively safe adventure and a fairly lucrative business if you play for real money. To enter the school and start earning, activate up to 50 paylines. You may keep some lines idle yet it is advisable not to do so: the more lines you activate the better chances to survive and win. Besides, it is possible to win on multiple lines in a single spin. Combinations are made up of symbols. These are regular icons, a Wild symbol and a Scatter. There are as many as 14 non-feature icons including playing cards from 9 through to A, four scared First-graders Fishes and four Shark Bullies. Non-feature symbols pay from left to right when you land 3, 4 or 5 matching icons of Playing Cards or First-Graders on any active line. Shark bullies pay when you have 2, 3, 4 or 5 icons of a kind on an active line. The payout is within a broad range from x2 up to x1500 a line bet ($150 at a $0.10 bet). There is also a special feature improving chances to win: in fact, at Shark School you win even with mixed non-regular icons, that is when you group different non-feature icons. It is a Mixed Sharks feature: a group of 3, 4 or 5 Sharks in any position awards x2, x5 or x25 a line bet. An angry Octopus is a teacher and Wild symbol. It substitutes for any icon including Scatters. At Shark School, teachers always appear in stacks on reel 1. A stack occupies an entire reel and effectively makes it a Wild reel. When such a Wild reel substitutes for a Scatter, it is counted as one Scatter. Scatters pay any way. Land 3, 4 or 5 Scatters and get an award of x2, x5 or x100 a total bet (up to $500 at max). Scatters also trigger a feature, in fact, a whole plethora of features.

A Bonus Mode triggers when you land 3 or more Scatters in any position on any reel. There are as many as 3 bonus features including a Swim Fishy Swim, Bad Sharky and Don’t Eat The Teacher. Each activates at random. Swim Fishy Swim feature It recreates that part of school life when first-graders are chased by bullies. A Fish is chased by a Shark; it is only 3 steps ahead and chances for a safe escape are not so good. Yet it is worth trying, there are always two options, either fish swims away or it gets eaten by a Shark. You have 25 free spins to clear it out. All prizes during the feature are tripled so you may win up to x4500 a line bet or up to x300 a total bet. If your fish survives 25 free games, you are awarded an instant cash prize of x200 a line bet. Bad Sharky feature The feature awards from 3 to 10 re-spins during which one of four Sharks covers reel 3. A Shark tries to eat any Fish appearing on reels and each eaten Fish is replaced by a Shark icon. To understand the winning capacity of the feature, compare the Fish and Shark payouts: Fish pay up to x750 a line bet while Sharks pay up to x1500. This means the replacement offers chances to win twice as high. Don’t Eat The Teacher feature You are awarded 25 free spins during which prizes are multiplied by x2 and a scared teacher is trying to escape jaws of a Shark bully. A Shark appearing on reel 5 always tries to eat a Teacher appearing on the same row on reel 1. If the Shark misses and the Teacher survives, the shark attacks, and a multiplier grows by x1 (so the next round runs with a multiplier x3, than with x4 and etc.) The feature continues until the Teacher gets caught or 25 free spins are played. If the Teacher escapes the attacks during the feature and swims away safely, a special award of x100 a line bet is credited to your balance. All in all, any of the three features will add to your coin balance when you play the game online in an online casino. Each feature runs at line and bet settings you choose for a normal game. When a feature activates, all controls are disabled and you cannot make any further adjustments. In order to get the full advantage of a Bonus Mode, it is recommended to activate all 50 lines in a base game and place as high a line bet as you can afford. The game may also be played in an autoplay mode which provides you with the broadest opportunities for adjusting the gameplay up to your preferences and gambling habits. The design of the game deserves special attention. It is fun to play the game and as such it is recommended to Aussies in desktop and mobile releases which are available in the recommended casinos online.
