Sharky

Sharky, created by Novomatic, is a video slot that features 5 reels and typically 9 paylines. Set against a vibrant tropical ocean backdrop, the game immerses players in a pirate-themed adventure, showcasing symbols such as Sharky the pirate, parrots, treasure chests, crossed cutlasses, ships, islands, and a compass. Sharky serves as the wild symbol, substituting for regular symbols to help create winning combinations, though he does not replace scatter symbols. There are three types of scatter symbols: the compass scatter pays out when three or more appear anywhere on the reels, while a ship symbol on the first reel combined with a desert island symbol on the fifth reel activates the Free Spins feature.

Players begin the Free Spins feature with 10 free spins, and it is possible to retrigger these spins if the Ship and Island combination appears again. During this bonus round, a special Rowing Pirate wild moves from left to right across the reels on successive spins. If this wild lands next to a treasure chest symbol, an instant win is granted. However, if a shark symbol appears next to the Rowing Pirate, he is removed from the reels, concluding his wild journey.

Additionally, the base game includes a "gamble" or "risk" feature, allowing players to wager their winnings in a video poker-style card game to potentially double their amount, up to a certain limit, or to collect their winnings. Sharky does not include any additional rounds beyond Free Spins, nor does it offer bonus buys or progressive jackpots.

You can play it for real money.
