Slot Details

Desert Shark is a video slot with five reels, four rows and 40 fixed pay lines. Wins are awarded for three to five matching symbols from left to right only. You can join the prince on his reel adventure on desktop or mobile from 0.20 to 100 credits per spin. The game has maximum volatility with a respectable RTP of 96.33%.

A desert scene on a quiet day with dunes on either side is in the background of the game window. That is about to change as the pirate ships burst into the scene while on the other side the sharks are looking forward to the fresh bait. Each reel position is a separate stone block with a fine frame holding them together on the 5×4 grid.

The pay symbols start at the low end with a range of embossed coins – bronze with a palace, silver with a snake, gold with a skull and purple with a star. The premiums are an oriental tea carafe, a green potion bottle, an old compass as well as the camel and the prince. A solid golden icon marked with ‘W’ is the standard wild symbol, while the same icon with dynamite sticks and a golden shark are the feature wilds. A sandstorm swirl acts as the scatter on this slot.

Desert Shark Slot Features

Fantasma Games integrated the gameplay into the fantasy story about a grieving prince who first turned poet to woe the love of his life only to be turned down. Hurt and prepared to go to the end of the world to forget his paramour, he becomes a pirate and steals a ship to set sail together with his only companion, a smiling camel, across the treacherous desert. Swamped by hungry sharks, the journey can turn dangerous at any moment and in the process trigger the various bonus features that have the potential to mightily reward any reel sailor who dares to join the prince.

Core to the action are the golden sharks called Swim Wilds, and that applies to the base game and free spins as you are about to find out. You will need to land minimum two in the base game and just one in the bonus round to trigger the Swim Swim Feature. Each shark will now upgrade a random number of other symbols or scatters in view into wild symbols. Upgrading a wild symbol will turn it into an x2 multiplier wild which will increase by x1 every time it is upgraded again, up to a maximum of x9.

Hitting three scatters anywhere on the middle reels will trigger 8 Free Spins, which can be retriggered. At the start of every free spin, one to six Dynamite Wilds are randomly placed on reels 1 – 3. Any Swim Wild (the golden shark) landing on the same row as a Dynamite Wild will see the latter exploding and turning two to six random positions into a wild symbol. The same process with upgrading existing wilds applies in the free spins, providing the potential to create more than one multiplier wild, ultimately the combination you want to see as it is the key to mega wins on this slot.

Final Verdict

Desert Shark is a beautifully designed slot that can also pack quite a punch, thanks to the mighty predators. Lurking in the sandy dunes they will create mayhem on the reels the soon they land in sufficient numbers and will have a significant impact on your potential winnings especially in the bonus round where each Dynamit Wildcan turn up to six other positions into wilds. It can literally turn into a wild feast for the sharks and pocket you up to 16,974 times your bet.
