Desert Shark

If you’re looking for strange themes, or just something new and wild, Fantasma Games’ Desert Shark is certainly a good choice to satisfy your curiosity.

This is a game that combines seemingly random themes, bringing pirate ships, camels and sharks in the vast desert landscapes. And it all works together like a dream.

What can you expect beyond the theme? Wins up to 16.000 times your stake, plenty of paylines and symbol positions, and some pretty interesting features. Jump right in with the demo version, choose a casino to play in, or read the full review!

Theme and Symbols

So, desert sharks - right? Perhaps not the most obvious theme, but the team has really put the time in to pull it off. Though the game could have used some animations in the background (just to satisfy our curiosity), the symbols and animations that are in the game are of such quality that they won’t disappoint. The music and other audio effects are fitting too, making you feel like you are on an adventure.

Betting Options and Functions

The game lays 40 paylines, from left to right, on a reel setup that comes in a form of 5 reels with 4 symbols each. The payouts are a bit low, but fitting for the variance. You can score up to 300 times your line bet from the best five symbol combo...and thousands more with special features.

The interface is pretty much the norm for a mobile game, with all the necessary buttons within easy reach. The game is light enough too, even though it comes with several animations on-reels.

Features

300 times the line bet isn’t the same as 16 000 times your stake, is it? You get to the big bucks via the special features…

Two of these work together to sync the reels, by either adding wilds or blowing off low-value symbols. The more important one is the wild, as it can come with multipliers. These can go up to nine times the original...and more importantly, they affect each other! You can have a whole payline full of multipliers multiplying each other.

The wilds can also activate the “swim swim” feature. This will upgrade symbols on the same row, which also includes upgrading wilds to higher multipliers.

Finally, you also have bonus spins. When activated with three scatters you will get eight spins, with extra dynamites placed on the reels. And of course, the wilds will activate the above “swim swim” -feature more often!

Our Take

From theme to features this new slot offers a sweet gaming experience that you don’t want to miss. True enough, the base game wins are not the highest, but if and when you get to the specials it will all be worth it! Superb execution from Fantasma Games!
