Shark School is a brand new feature rich video slot from Real Time Gaming (RTG). The setting, as we’re sure you’ve guessed, is an under sea school where shark bullies threaten to eat students and teachers alike. In fact you may even get to see some snarling sharks during any of the three bonus games, but for now let’s take a look at how the slot works.
Shark School ThemeThe school itself is located on the seabed, so it makes sense that the reels are made to look that way too. You can see bobbing waves above the reels, as well as bubbles appearing from the bottom. The reels themselves have a darker background which really makes the themed icons stand proud.
A great majority of the reel icons are themed. You’ll find 4 different sharks (which incidentally can payout in mixed configurations), angelfish, purple fish, a jumper wearing fish and a fish wearing a backpack. Other icons include 9, 10, J, Q, K and A that have been created in a sorority style.
Betting Options and More Functions
You can choose wagers by simply selecting lines and a bet to use on each. These wagers range from 0.01 to $250 per spin, which pretty much means there’s almost limitless betting opportunities (you can also choose to play for free at many online casinos and right here on LCB).
Shark School Features
The squid teacher proves this isn’t your typical educational establishment. This menacing icon appears on reel 1, sometimes in groups, and can substitute for any icon including the scattered schoolhouse.
Schoolhouse scatters are unique because they will award 2, 5 0r 100 coins when three, four or five occur in any position. That’s not all though as any combination of three or more scatters will also award one of three bonus features. You’ll be asked to choose one of three schools to reveal your bonus:
Swim Fishy, Swim! Free spins has a worried fish start 3 spaces in front of a ferocious shark. Free spins begin and any shark on the third reel moves it one position toward the fish. A fish on the third reel however will move the fish one space away from the shark. Free spins will continue until the fish gets eaten or 25 free spins have been played (at which point the fish escapes and you receive 200x the triggering bet).
Bad Sharky! awards 3 to 10 re-spins that begin with the whole third reel filled with sharks. Any fish that appears will be quickly snaffled up only to be turned into another shark for the remaining re-spins.
Don’t Eat The Teacher! also triggers free spins but on this occasion they begin with a x2 multiplier for any prize gained. Any shark appearing on the same row as the teacher will result in a chase, which if unsuccessful will increase the multiplier by 1. If the shark eats the teacher the free spins end. You can also win a 100x bonus if 25 free spins are gained, which also means the teacher survives.
Our Take on Shark School
Shark School isn’t your typical video slot and on this occasion we mean this is a good way. The shark infested reels, terrified students and trio of features makes this one whacky and interesting video slot.
