Shark Blitz

The Blitz series by Playtech proved to be highly successful over the years. The case is no different with Shark Blitz, which was released on February 22, 2022. This ocean-themed slot game comes with a grid that contains 6 reels and up to 5 rows. The first and the last reel have three rows, while the middle 4 reels come with 5 rows.

Regular slot games such as Bison Battle and Fortune of Giza, where the jackpot is fixed and has maximum exposure, Shark Blitz comes with a progressive jackpot for which we are going to share more details later on. The good news about it is that you can enjoy it at PartyCasino once you register an account and deposit funds.

Shark Blitz comes with a medium volatility rate, which is the most common pick for both casual and more experienced players. Moreover, it has 5,625 paylines and thanks to the fact that it is powered by HTML5, you can enjoy it on any mobile or desktop device without noticing changes to the gameplay. Below, you can also get familiar with its technical details, so feel free to continue reading. 

Like all other online slots with the standard mechanic in which winning combinations are formed from left to right, you need to land at least 3 matching regular symbols to create a win in Shark Blitz. The payout will depend on the symbol that you landed, the number of symbols on the adjacent reels and the bet, which can be as low as 0.25 and as high as 200.00.

The game has 11 regular symbols, 6 of which are low-paying and 5 are high-paying. The low end is represented by 9, 10, J, Q, K and A. On the other hand, the high-paying symbols are the fish, the manta ray, turtle, jellyfish and the shark.

The most significant difference between the low-paying and high-paying symbols, aside from their value, is the fact that you only need 2 high-paying symbols to form a winning combination, rather than 3.

Two additional special symbols are also featured in Shark Blitz. First, we have the Wild symbol, which forms winning combinations on its own and substitutes the aforementioned regular symbols. On the other hand, the Scatter triggers the free spins feature. 

Speaking of the free spins feature, it is an indicator that Shark Blitz by Playtech has several in-game bonuses, which we are more than happy to explain. The free spins feature is triggered by landing a minimum of 3 Scatters on the reels. In this scenario, you will be rewarded with eight free spins.

If you manage to land 4 Scatters, you will gain ten free spins. Five Scatters will provide you with 12 free spins, and 6 Scatters will give you 15 free spins.

The Trigger Crunch! Mode is also connected to free spins. It is triggered when you land 2 Scatters on the reels, and this is a passive feature that increases the chances of triggering free spins. The free spins mode can be re-triggered.

Every re-trigger resents the number of free spins to its initial triggering and increases the Wild multiplier by x1. Two scatters will provide you with x1 Wild multiplier, 3 scatters will provide you with x2 Wild multiplier, 4 scatters will provide you with x3 Wild multiplier, 5 scatters will provide you with x4 Wild multiplier, and 6 Scatters will provide you with x5 Wild multiplier.

Finally, we have the Jackpot Blitz feature, which is the key to winning the Mini, Minor, Major or Blitz progressive jackpot. It is played on a 4x5 grid, and your task is to match three identical jackpot symbols. The reward depends on the matched jackpot symbols. 

Shark Blitz is a highly entertaining game, and it is safe to say that Playtech has done a fantastic job with this release. Not only are there are few exciting bonus features in store for you, but you can also win the progressive jackpot on any mobile or desktop device.
