BGaming is finishing the month of May with an exciting new slot game launch, Shark & Spark Hold & Win. The theme of this release is an underwater environment with beautiful colors, shimmering pearls and a great potential to win big — the highest theoretical win is 5,000 times the stake.
Themed completely around the ocean, this slot game prompts the players to interact with a baby shark that is cute and lucky at the same time giving them a way to swim through a sea of prizes. Besides being adorable, the shark in the game plays a big part of one of the major features — the Sharks & Ladders bonus round. And, of course, the title hints at it — it’s a fun twist on the classic game Snakes & Ladders that everybody recognizes.
The setup is pretty straightforward. The game plays on six reels and five rows, but instead of the usual paylines, symbols pay anywhere. That means anyone can catch some wins in unexpected ways. When winning symbols hit, they disappear, sending new ones rolling in for a chance at even more rewards. Add in those special pearl symbols that drop multipliers, and things can heat up fast.
Then come the bonus features. When players collect four or more scatter symbols, one of two extra games can trigger at random. The first is the Coin Respin round — a Hold & Win twist where coins stick on the grid and build up multipliers until the spins run out. When it’s over, all those multipliers add up for what could be a serious payout.
The second bonus, Sharks & Ladders, is where the fun really takes off. The baby shark moves across a board full of multipliers and shortcuts, climbing ladders (or swimming, rather) toward the final prize. Reach the end, and there’s one last thrill — a spin on the Wheel of Fortune for a shot at that massive 5,000x reward.
With a 97% RTP and medium-high volatility, Shark & Spark Hold & Win promises a mix of steady action and heart-pounding moments. For anyone craving some underwater excitement, BGaming’s latest release might just be the perfect catch.
