Razor Shark

Introduction

Razor Shark is a video slot from Push Gaming that was released on August 20, 2019. The visuals in Razor Shark have a cartoonish quality, and the game takes place in the water. There are coral reefs and a variety of fish swimming about in the background, and there are also characters that resemble Nemo and Dory observing the reels as they spin. One of the first things that you are probably going to take note of is the immensely catchy music, which is an intoxicating instrumental that not only adds suspense and excitement to the action, but will also make you bob your head to the beat. Read our review to find out whether it is worth you time and money going underwater to swim with the sharks.

Razor Shark General Characteristics

The majority of the action takes place throughout the game's five reels, four rows, and twenty paylines. You should come prepared with a sizable bankroll and  adjust your bets appropriately, since this slot has a high level of volatility. Return to Player or Payout is set to 96.7%, 95.05%, 94.06%, 90.52%, or 88.42% so be careful when you choose your casino because it either can make or break your session. You may place a wager of any amount between 0.1 and 100 Euros, and the Maximum Win Multiplier that was won playing this game is x85475, which means that the Maximum Win Value is 8,547,500 Euros which makes this game attractive for a high roller, however, theoretically you can win unlimited amount of money in one spin because there is an unlimited amount of free spins possible. There are 8 main symbols, in addition to Wild Symbol, Scatter Symbol, and Mystery Symbol.

Razor Shark Bonus Features

Mystery Stacks. These symbols come in stacks of four, and they may land in any position on the reel. The Nudge & Reveal Feature is activated if the Mystery Stack appears anywhere on the reels of the game. 

Nudge & Reveal. Whenever the Nudge & Reveal Feature is triggered, the Mystery Stack is broken apart to expose either Paying Symbol or Golden Shark Symbols. 

Razor Reveal Feature. This function is activated once the Mystery Stack exposes the Golden Shark as its hidden components. Because of the Mystery Stack function, each symbol position will spin, and when it stops, it will either land on Bet Multiplier Coins or Scatter Symbols.

Free Spins. This bonus round is triggered if there are three Scatter Symbols spread across the reels in any position. Each additional scatter adds a free spin. If you are successful in activating the Free Spins bonus round, the second and fourth reels will each become entirely covered with Mystery Stacks. While this feature is active, a multiplier will be added to each of your wins. The multiplier begins at a value of 1. The multiplier is raised to a higher value after every successful activation of the Nudge and Reveal Feature. Free Spins will keep going until there are no more Mystery Stacks visible anywhere in the game, thus there is a chance of them going infinitely.

Our Experience Playing Razor Shark

When we started the game we were greeted by an underwater kingdom that reminded us of Jaws and Finding Nemo at the same time. We have heard good things about this slot, but as usual we decided to test it for ourselves with our tried-and-tested method anyway. We deposited 200 Euros, set the bet to 1 Euro, and began the first 100 spins. Half way through it we triggered the bonus round which paid us only 4 Euros. What a bummer… After 100 spins, we were down 60 Euros which is expected from a highly volatile slot. Next 100 spins were a little bit better, however we lost 6 Euros anyway. Right before finishing our final 100 spins we triggered the Free Spins and caught an exceptionally generous payout of 344 Euros. It became clear why gamblers loved this slot, for its exceptionally high volatility. We won 230 Euros and left the game with mixed emotions.

Verdict

The gameplay is decent, but nothing special. This slot may not be suitable for people with a small bankroll due its insanely high volatility. Because of this, you run the risk of either winning a significant sum of money or losing everything rather rapidly. Consider playing this slot at your own risk. Even though we were fortunate this time around, there is no guarantee that you will have the same experience.
