Shark Blitz

Sharks can attack in a blitz and make quite a mess. The major Hollywood hit Jaws is proof of it, just like the real stories from coasts around the world. A species that are in danger of extinction, shark awareness is spread in many ways these days. Playtech’s version is a slot called Shark Blitz, a game with 5,625 betways, high variance, and a whopping maximum possible win of 37,500x the bet.

Developed by Playtech Origins, Shark Blitz, just like a Great White, has a powerful bite. The aquatic-themed game excels in many areas, especially special features and retriggers that has the potential to nicely boost your wins.

The Trigger Crunch feature is vital for big wins in the bonus round, and multipliers can step in to complete massive payouts. As the name suggests, the slot is also part of Playtech's Blitz jackpot series with four potentially huge rewards on offer.

Shark Blitz is a slot game with 6 reels and an unusual setup. The grid has an unorthodox 3-5-5-5-5-3 layout we rarely see these days and is set against the blue seas at sunset. It has a nice vibe to it in visual terms, with the realistic shark and aquatic sea life symbols looking pretty good.

Of course, the shark is the king among them, glaring its teeth while emerging from within. It's definitely an homage to Jaws as it reminds us of the goriest scene in the film. While dangerous, this great white shark is here to deliver big wins straight to your lap. It's the highest-paying symbol in this underwater kingdom, potentially delivering 150x the bet if you manage to land six on a line.

The other species pay less, while the card royals pay the least. There’s a diamond scatter too and a Free Spins Recharge symbol we’ll talk about more later.

Playing the Shark Blitz slot at Gala Bingo is easy, even if you're a new player. You can check out the demo in our game library if you want to learn what you need to do and check out the game's features. All the controls are on the right side of the slot, so adjust your bet with a few clicks and hit the Spin button to start. If you hold it down, you'll enter Autoplay mode.

The base game plays pretty standard, mostly sticking to symbol and wild combinations for the chance of big wins. An ominous soundtrack in the background will always keep you on your toes. This isn't a slot that relies on base game wins for massive payouts. Its main feature besides the Blitz jackpots is called Trigger Crunch, giving you bigger chances to trigger the exciting bonus round.

This is a random feature that adds two extra scatters on the grid. With those added scatters, you’re likely to trigger the bonus round pretty easily. That’s where the real fun begins.

You need at least three scatters to get into the bonus round. You start with eight free spins for three scatters, or 10, 12, or 15 for 4, 5, and 6 scatters, respectively. Retriggering the bonus round is possible and vital as it makes the global multiplier rise accordingly. Two scatters take it up by +1, while the maximum of six boosts it to x5. This feature is called Recharge and involves the free spins symbol we mentioned earlier.

The Shark Blitz slot is part of the Blitz Playtech jackpot network. It features four progressive mystery jackpots that trigger randomly. This bonus starts with 20 diamonds on a 5x4 grid that you pick to reveal one of four jackpots:

• Mini: seeds at 50
• Minor: seeds at 500
• Major: seeds at 5,000
• Blitz: seeds at 100,000

With a bit of luck, the maximum you can possibly win in Shark Blitz is 37,500x the bet.

Shark Blitz is another triumph for Playtech. It’s a slot that brings (un)pleasant memories of the first time we saw Jaws, and has a lot of special features and jackpots to keep players entertained. If you’re a shark fan and you like a slot with the chance of great payouts, this one’s for you.
