Theme – dive into shark infested waters

The 6 Wild Sharks slot has a shark theme as you dive deep into shark infested waters. Reminiscent of the Jaws movie, the reels are set under the water. With high definition graphics, the symbols are colourful and bright.

Symbols on the reels include low value A, K, Q, J and 10 playing cards. The higher value symbols include fish, stingrays, squids, divers and surfers. The surfer is the most lucrative symbol giving you 1, 5, 10 or 30 x stake for 3, 4, 5 or 6 in combination.

The shark symbol is the wild and substitutes for all symbols bar the scatter. It only appears in Wild Zones (reels 1, 2, 5 and 6). More on this below.

BIG REEL Portrait Mode feature

All 4ThePlayer slots use a unique BIG REEL Portrait Mode feature. When playing the 6 Wild Sharks mobile slot, you have the option of playing small reels or BIG Reel Portrait Mode.

The latter enlarges the reels and stacks them on top of each other. The reels then spin right to left and pays top to bottom. The BIG REEL Portrait Mode occupies 60% of your smartphone screen which results in a better visual experience.

As with most slots, 6 Wild Sharks can also be played on tablet and desktop devices that are powered by Windows, iOS or Android.

6 Wild Sharks Bonus Features

In this section, we look at the 4 bonus features in the 6 Wild Sharks slot. If playing in classic mode, you have free spins where you can play with less free spins and more locked wilds or more free spins with less locked wilds. With the Advanced Mode Wild Choice feature, you can place up to 6 locked wilds on the reels for an increased stake prize. If you trigger the free spins using this mode, this locked wilds remain in place for 10 free spins.

Advanced Mode Wild Choice feature

When you starting playing 6 Wild Sharks, you will play in classic mode. You have the option of the Advanced Mode Wild Choice feature though.

You will notice that are 2 Wild Zones which are marked on reels 1 and 2 as well as 5 and 6. Shark wilds and locked wilds can only appear in the Wild Zones.

To activate the feature, tap symbols in the Wild Zones to add between 1 and 6 locked wilds in the base game. These locked wilds remain in place for all spins. Every locked wild has a set price that is added to your total stake. You then need to decide where to place the locked wilds:

• For frequent wins, place locked wilds on reels 1 and 2.
• For bigger wins, place locked wilds on reels 5 and 6.

Whilst it may prove expensive, the locked wilds can help you frequent or big wins. Unfortunately though, the Advanced Mode Wild Choice feature is not available in the UK.

Free Spins Bonus feature

The 6 Wild Sharks slot comes with a Free Spins Bonus feature. This is triggered when 2 buoy scatters land on reels 3 and 4 (the 2 central reels).

If playing in Classic Mode, free spins can be traded for locked wilds. You will receive between 1 and 15 free spins based on the Locked Wilds setup you choose. With many configurations available, here are the 2 extremes:

• 15 free spins with no locked wilds
• 1 free spin with 6 locked wilds

Known as the Wild Choice feature, you tap to add locked wilds in the Wild Zones. All locked wilds remain in place for all free spins. You can of course play your free spins with no locked wilds selected for instance. As a result, this gives you the maximum number of initial free spins but decreases your chances of forming winning combinations.

In addition, landing 2 buoy scatters on reels 3 and 4 will retrigger the feature and give you 3 additional free spins. You can retrigger infinitely for unlimited free spins.

Advanced Mode Free Spins Bonus feature

If playing in Advanced Mode, landing 2 buoy symbols on reels 3 and 4 will trigger the Advanced Mode Free Spins Bonus feature. All locked wilds from the base game remain locked during the free spins. You will then play out 10 free spins.

6 Wild Sharks Review Summary – all about the locked wilds

The 6 Wild Sharks slot is the first game to use the Wild Choice feature/mechanic. Basically, you can add locked wilds to the Wild Zones for an increased stake level. The risk you want to undertake is down to you as more wilds can lead to bigger wins but it costs more per spin.

In the Free Spins Bonus feature, you can trade the number of free spins for locked wilds as you see fit. More locked wilds should result in more winning combinations but you have less free spins to win. On the other hand, you will get more free spins but less locked wilds. It’s down to you.

This game offers something unique and puts the ball firmly in your court. You can opt for a higher risk strategy which could pay out more or a safer strategy where big wins will be harder to come by. It’s a pity the Advanced Mode Wild Choice feature isn’t available in the UK but it’s still a very good slot game without it as you can win 10,368 x stake on each spin or free spin.

If you like the sound of this game, you should try other 4ThePlayer slots. Their best game is the 9k Yeti slot which is more straightforward and offers you a 97% RTP and 9,012 x stake max win per spin.
