Shark alarm on six reels: Shark Blitz combines an unusual reel structure with a progressive jackpot and extra win chances through free spins and multipliers.
Mood and Theme
Shark Blitz relies on a clear marine design, bold colours and large symbol graphics — from the diamond wild to the Free-Games scatter. The look is more matter-of-fact and focused than over-the-top, so the gameplay and the jackpot options take centre stage. Sonically, a maritime sound design accompanies you, building tension without overpowering.
What the game offers
In practice Shark Blitz offers a 6-column layout with variable rows and 5,625 ways to win, combined with a free-spin feature that after every retrigger brings new chances and increasing wild multipliers. Additionally, the game is part of the Jackpot Blitz–pool: the progressive jackpot can be randomly awarded on any spin.
Key selling points at a glance
- Unusual reel layout (3x5x5x5x3) with 5,625 ways to win
- Free-spin feature with retriggers and rechargeable wild multipliers
- Jackpot Blitz: multi-level progressive jackpot (Mini, Minor, Major, Blitz)
- Mobile-friendly design (portrait and landscape) and fast play rounds
- Clear symbols (Wild = Diamond, Scatter = Free Games Recharge) for easy readability
How this shapes the player experience
The combination of many ways to win and the rechargeable free-spin multiplier means individual spins can produce surprising swings without making promises of wins. Instead the mechanics stay transparent: more scatters = more free spins, more wilds during free spins = higher multipliers.
How it works
Shark Blitz uses a 6-column system with a variable number of rows, which in practice means reels 1 and 6 are narrower than the middle reels. This layout creates 5,625 possible winning combinations and changes the playfield image compared with traditional 5x3 slots.
In the base game you spin the reels as usual; winning combinations count on adjacent reels from left to right. Scatter symbols act as an exception: they trigger free spins regardless of where they land.
Important mechanics and triggers:
- Trigger Crunch! Mode: On any normal spin 2 scatters can appear and thereby increase the chance of the free spins.
- Free Games: 3 to 6 scatters activate the free-spin feature (8–15 free spins, depending on the number of scatters).
- Free Games Recharge: If 2 or more scatters appear during the free spins, the free-spin counter is reset and the wild multiplier increases by x1 (up to a maximum of x20).
Quick overview of the sequences:
- Base game: start a spin, combine symbols, payouts are calculated according to the paytables.
- Hit scatters: 3–6 scatters start free spins (amount varies).
- Free spins: each additional scatter retriggers free spins and charges the wild multiplier.
- Jackpot chance: random chance where Jackpot Blitz can be triggered; here you can win Mini up to Blitz jackpots.
Bonus features
Shark Blitz combines classic bonus mechanics with special charge-up mechanics:
Free Games
- Trigger: 3 to 6 scatter symbols trigger the free-games feature.
- Number of free spins: 3 scatters = 8 Free Games, 4 = 10, 5 = 12, 6 = 15.
- Retrigger: If during the free games 2 or more scatters appear, the free-games counter is reset to the original value and the free spins continue.
Wilds and multipliers
- Wild symbol is the diamond and appears on reels 2–6.
- During the free games wild symbols multiply wins; each additional scatter in the free games increases the wild multiplier by x1, up to x20.
Jackpot Blitz (Progressive Jackpot)
- Multi-level jackpot with four tiers: Mini, Minor, Major, Blitz.
- Trigger: random; the jackpot can be triggered on any spin in games with the Jackpot Blitz feature.
- Jackpot gameplay: a separate mini game reveals jackpot symbols; if three identical jackpot symbols are uncovered, you win the corresponding tier.
Why this matters: This combination of chargeable multipliers and a random jackpot provides varied sessions — from short, side win opportunities to rarer jackpot chances.
FAQ
What reel layout does Shark Blitz have and what does that mean in practice?
Shark Blitz uses a 3x5x5x5x3 layout, which totals 6 reels and offers 5,625 ways to win. In practice this means: in the middle of the playfield you find multiple symbols per spin, which increases the number of possible combinations compared with classic 5x3 slots.
How do the free spins and multipliers work?
With 3–6 scatters you get free spins (8–15 depending on the number). During the free spins each additional scatter can not only retrigger free spins but also increase the wild multiplier by x1 — up to a maximum of x20. That creates rising win opportunities the longer the bonus round lasts.
Can I directly influence or buy the jackpot?
No, Jackpot Blitz is a progressive random feature; it is randomly awarded on spins in games with this feature. There is no direct buy option in the standard game.
Is the game optimised for mobile use?
Yes. The design is optimised for both portrait and landscape modes and runs on tablet and smartphone without special adjustments.
