Captain Shark Slot - Demo, Free Play, No Registration -

We are deep down in the ocean with Captain Shark and his friendly pals in this online slot from game designer Wazdan. The slot is fitted with a classic 5x3 reel set which generates 20 bet ways, paying left to right.

The eponymous Captain Shark acts as a wild, which is a paying symbol, and substitutes for all other tiles, apart from the scatter and applies a x2 multiplier when it appears in a winning line. 

The treasure chest scatter symbol rewards the player with 15, 30 or 90 free spins when 3, 4 or 5 scatters appear across the reels. During free spins, all winnings are subject to a x3 multiplier. Bonus spins can also be re-triggered during this phase of the game.

In total there are 13 paying symbols including the top value scatter and wild. In order of value the other paying characters are the octopus, the crab, and the seahorse, followed by the fishes. The lower paying symbols are made up of card symbols ranging from Ace to nine.

There is also a gamble feature that allows you to double up your winnings by choosing the colour of a flashing Ace, either red or black. The player can gamble up to 7 times to improve their winnings.

Fans of this designer’s work can find other Wazdan slots here at Slots Temple and play them for free. Meanwhile, if the Shark appeals to you, why not try the Razor Shark slot which boasts a higher volatility of 96.70%.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack 

The theme is based on friendly underwater creatures, and players may recognise the influence of Finding Nemo, produced by Pixar. The characters are friendly, and keen to help you find winnings and the treasure chest which scatters across the reels. The reel set is easy to read and coloured squares on either side indicate the pay lines. It is set against a backdrop of the ocean and topped by the grinning Captain Shark. The soundtrack, incongruously, is reminiscent of the Jaws franchise, but there is nothing to fear here.

Fans of slots which have a sea life slot theme will find more here at Slots Temple.

Captain Shark RTP and Variance

Captain Shark has an official RTP of 96.25% and should be treated as exhibiting medium volatility. Regular small wins are easy to land, but bigger rewards are available in the generous free spins and when a wild creates a winning line, as multipliers apply.

Captain Shark Bonus Features & Free Spins 

Wilds in a win double the payout, except where they make up their own winning line. Scatter symbols generate free spins where a x3 multiplier applies, and this feature can be re-triggered.
There is also a gamble feature, allowing players to gamble up to seven times, doubling their winnings each time, until the feature ends with a wrong guess.

Captain Shark Review 

Fans of this designer will recognise many of the features of the game. The best ones are the wild and free spin multipliers, but the wide range of betting options is what makes it appealing to novices and high rollers alike.

We can recommend this game, since the maths model retains the player’s interest, and the fact that you can adjust your bet over such a range of options means that you can protect your bankroll whilst retaining the option of a serious boost, especially in free spins.
