Slingo Shark Week Game Review

The first episode of Discovery Channel’s Shark Week aired all the way back on July 17th, 1988, and the show has since managed to become the longest running cable television show in history. The first season was called ‘Caged in Fear’, and you get some of that in Slingo Shark Week as well. The slingo grid is set underwater, with both fish and shark swimming around in the background.

The soundtrack gives off a somewhat similar vibe as the Jaws theme, building a threatening and claustrophobic atmosphere as you feel like you’re in a shark cage when you play. The slingo prize ladder comes with only a smaller cash prize this time, but instead it’s packed with 6 unique bonus games that all revolve around sharks in different ways. You can win up to 790x your stake from the Full House feature.

Slingo Shark Week Game Features

Each round consists of 10 spins, but you can also pay for extra spins once the initial spins are over. As usual, the game is all about marking off numbers on the slingo grid, and marking off 5 numbers horizontally, vertically and/or diagonally amounts to a slingo. Each slingo takes you up the prize ladder seen on the left, and here’s an overview of symbols that appear on the 5x1 slot below the grid:

  • Number - marks off the corresponding number on the grid.
  • Wild - mark off any number you want on the same column.
  • Super Wild - mark off any number you want on the entire grid.
  • Free Spin - adds +1 spin to your tally.
  • Blocker - does nothing but occupy space.

The 4 first rungs on the slingo prize ladder awards nothing, but getting to the 5th rung pays 5x your stake.

The 6 remaining rungs above that all award different features, and here’s an overview of what you can expect:

  • Shark Slot (6 slingos) - awards 7 spins on a 3x3 slot with 32 paylines. It comes with a wild symbol, and symbol values between 0.2x and 5x your stake.
  • Break the cage (7 slingos) - click on the shark cage to get sharks to attack it. This awards a total prize between 6x and 49x your stake, and the diver inside is getting the scare of his life.
  • Fish Grab (8 slingos) - grab fish to win a total prize between 20x and 41x your stake. What did the shark eat. (9 slingos) - pick items to collect prizes between 20x and 40x your stake.

    Earn an x3 multiplier if you guess correctly, giving you a total prize of 60x to 120x your stake.
  • Shark Wheel (10 slingos) - win between 80x and 360x your stake, or a multiplier-enhanced version of 1 of the 3 lower-tier bonus games.
  • Shark Award (full house) - sharks swim around and randomly pick money bags for you, and this leads to a total prize between 150x to 790x your stake.

Review Summary

We found Slingo Shark Week to be a highly enjoyable experience, and Slingo Original’s have really nailed the menacing soundtrack and the subsea visuals. You even get cutscenes with real shark footage from the Discovery show as intros and outros from the features, and there is plenty to check out in this game. You cannot win massive prizes from the features though, but at least you get 6 highly unique and entertaining bonus games.

The top prize from the top-tier feature is 790x your stake, and we wouldn’t have minded a potential that was significantly higher than that to be honest. Another thing that’s the case in many slingo installments, is the fact that it’s quite difficult to reach the features without paying for extra spins. Extra spins can get expensive real quick when you’ve reached a certain tier, so it’s a good idea to have some kind of bankroll strategy in the back of your head while playing.

Pros

  • Wilds, super wilds and extra spins
  • Slingo prize ladder w/ 6 unique bonus games
  • Pay for extra spins to improve your round
  • Win up to 790x your stake from top-tier bonus

Cons

  • Paid extra spins can be a slippery slope
  • 95.68 % RTP (with optimal strategy)
