Hungry Shark (KA Gaming) slot review

The Hungry Shark video slot is an underwater hunting game in which multiple players take the role of a shark trying to bite its prey. Select different weapons to destroy enemies in three choices of rooms, which have different stakes from 0.01 to 10 for each bite. Players have to target and bite winning symbols, which include other sharks, whales, crabs and jellyfish. 

Sunken treasure

Bonuses can be achieved by selecting certain harpoon-wielding elfin divers, like looking out for a scatter symbol or free spin bonuses when playing spinning reel slots titles. When using the power function, the bigger the creature you are hunting, the more you will spend trying and the bigger the payout potential. A useful feature is a pop-up box that appears on the left-hand side of the screen that shows which creature is coming, enabling you to consider your strategy before the enemy appears!

Choose a room

On entering both the base game and demo play, players are asked to choose a room: bronze, gold or silver. Each room allows certain bet ranges: 0.01 to 0.10 for bronze, 0.10 to 1.00 for silver, and 1.00 to 10.00 for gold. When your selection has been made at the right level of bet for you, the game can begin.

Theme

Transformation of Hungry Shark

The main character is usually a smallish shark that looks a little like a piranha; however, when the power bullet is selected, this creature is transformed into his huge alter ego of an awe-inspiring, multi-coloured warrior shark ready to bring down its prey. The background is colourful and stylish, setting the scene for our underwater world perfectly.

Appealing animation and music

The characters are mainly beautifully drawn, particularly the large elfin hunters and most of the sea creatures; however, some characters - such as the penguin - seem basic and out of place, as if they have been added as an afterthought. A selection of catchy music is used to add atmosphere and suspense to the deep sea theme, with other sound effects used to let players know when features, such as a win multiplier, have been triggered.

Hungry Shark RTP & volatility 

Hungry Shark offers an average RTP of 96 per cent and medium volatility. The very detailed paytable shows that low-level wins can be landed fairly frequently, with a tempting maximum win multiplier of 500x.

Hungry Shark (KA Gaming) bonus features

If you trigger a 20X blue mystical elf, a chain reaction kills a certain number of your prey on the screen.

If you trigger the 20X elfin hunter bonus, you will trigger a free powerful tidal wave rush that sweeps away all the fish in its path until it is over.

Hungry Shark (KA Gaming) review: our verdict

Dive right into this easy-to-understand and generally appealing game. The choice of rooms and the huge number of deep-sea winning symbols keep this feeling fresh. While bonus features are limited, with no scatter symbol as such for reel-spinning fans, the free 20X tidal wave can be thought of as equivalent to a free spins bonus. The max win is on the low side compared to other online slots. 

We think the best feature of this game is the transformation of the main character from puny piranha to awesome mega-shark when the power play feature is activated; however, this comes at a price. Make sure you set your limits and use this feature wisely!
