Shark Hunter is a casino slot from Atomic Slot Lab that takes you out to the great blue. Today, you are going fishing for all sorts of wins, but what you will be most on the lookout for are sharks, specifically the lucrative golden sharks.

The theme is quite simple and takes you underwater for a glimpse at life under the sea, quite similar to games like Shark Wash or the Razor Shark series.

Shark Hunter Slot Information

The game is set out at sea underneath the surface of the water, where you can see both the ocean floor and the fishing boat in the background. The soundtrack sets the tone for an adventurous fishing experience, with the goal of fishing up apex predators, the great white sharks, however, in this game, they do come in various colors. The game can be played on most desktops, mobiles, and notepads. Wins are made by landing 3 or more of the same symbols on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel. 

The lower-paying symbols are 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A. Landing a win with 5 of the same symbols pays out 1X to 3X the bet. The higher-paying symbols are shrimps, crabs, tunas, octopi, and the fisherman. Creating a win with 5 of the same symbols pays out 4X to 10X the bet. You will also find Lifebuoy Wilds, Credit Sharks, and Fishing Boat Collectors on the reels, but we will discuss these features more in-depth in the next section.

During the base game, any spin can randomly award you the Mystery Prize, which consists of 10 Free Spins, 5 Gold Spins, and 50 credits multiplied by the bet level multiplier. 

Free Spins

After landing 3 or more Scatter Symbols, you will be awarded the Free Spins feature and 5 Gold Spins. During Free Spins, Shark Credit Symbols can show up on the reels with credit values ranging from 25 to 1,250, which can be collected to the Gold Spins Value meter if a Collector symbol lands on the same spin. The amount of initial Free Spins is based on the amount of Scatter Symbols that triggered the feature:

3 Scatters = Awards 10 Free Spins.

4 Scatters = Awards 15 Free Spins.

5 Scatters = Awards 20 Free Spins.

The Free Spins feature can also be retriggered by landing 2 or more Scatters during the feature. Depending on the number of Scatters in one spin, the feature awards increasingly high extra spins.

Shark Hunter Slot Conclusion

Hunting sharks has become a more and more talked about issue over the years as they are most often hunted down for their fins, leaving the shark in the ocean to die. This practice, however, is slowly starting to get banned in more and more countries thanks to International Animal Welfare groups. The game Shark Hunter can touch on a slightly sensitive topic, but it does not seem to take itself all too seriously to mean any harm. When it comes to the fishing-themed part of the game, it is fun and feels like a fishing game, more than just a shark-themed one, with you using the hooks on the fishing boat to reel in the big catches. 

If we take a glance at the feature list of games, they can seem quite complicated at first, as you have multiple types of symbols to fill up multiple types of meters. But when you realize that the game is basically just a collection of Cash values, it isn’t so bad. Now, the game comes with a pretty good stat spread of 96.60% RTP and 26.09% hit frequency, as well as a nice medium volatility. As the big wins are mostly based on Cash values coming from the sharks during the Free Spins, most base game spins won’t feel very exciting or profitable. This is a personal preference, but many may not like having only excitement come from the bonus games, as that means the base game feels quite unbalanced, and you are only sitting and waiting for the next Free Spins to kick in. But it is when the Bonus kicks in that you will start seeing a steady flow of Sharks that can lead you to big payouts and maybe even the max win of 4,000X the bet. All in all, Shark Hunter is quite a simple game with a fun Free Spins feature that matches its fishing theme and should definitely be checked out at some point. 

Shark Hunter is a slot for those looking for the biggest catch in terms of fishing up big wins.
