Razor Shark Slot Review
Razor Shark is a video slot from Push Gaming with 5 reels and 20 paylines across 4 rows. Released in September 2019, this game can be played at online casinos such as Vera&John, Maria Casino or Rizk.
14th of June 2020 casino streamer Vituss Razor made absolute World record win on Razor Shark slot by Push Gaming provider.300000 EURO huge win with max bet 1. Razor Shark slot joins our online casino collection alongside fan favourites such as the Fishin’ Frenzy slot saga, taking players on a deep-sea excavation in search.
Razor Shark is a 5 reel and 20 payline slot. Like all Push Gaming’s slots its characterized by slick graphics. The backdrop to the reels is the deep, dark blue ocean underwater, with shipwrecks, jellyfish and other monsters lurking. The low value symbols on the reels are the diver’s equipment – air tanks, masks, cameras and fins.
Theme and general information
Razor Shark takes us once more into the deep seas with its underwater theme. It’s a surprisingly popular category and it’s always interesting to see how developers approach the theme. Whether with a fantasy element and mermaids or with tons of colourful fish.
In this slot, we get rather colourful sharks on the reels. The deep blue sea is nice to look at, though not quite as well crafted as we know from other Push Gaming slots. Still, it’s a lovely slot and the impression we get of being underwater is well done.
Plus, the soundtrack is cool and sometimes it reminds us a little of ‘Sharks’, when things seem to be lurking in the seaweed.
On the reels, we find low paying symbols that are associated with diving. We get a diving mask, swim fins, diving tanks and underwater cameras. The sharks are orange, green, blue and pink, all sort of grinning at us in a less than reassuring manner. The orange shark is worth the most among the lot, paying 25x our stake for 5 on a payline. The pink shark is worth 20x our stake for such a win. The green and blue sharks pay out 7.5x and 5x our stake, respectively.
The great white shark is the wild symbol in the slot and he’s worth 50x our stake for 5 of his kind. The scatter is a underwater mine.
You can play this game from 0.10 to 100.00 per spin.
Mystery Stacks in the base game
The seaweed we’ve already mentioned is a special symbol that lands in stacks on the reels. It’s well animated and the music peaks when the mystery seaweed reveals a random symbol, hopefully creating a winning combination.
The seaweed can reveal any kind of symbol including the wild but obviously not the scatter. When the stack(s) land and reveal a random symbol, we get another spin where the stack(s) move one position down on the reels on the next spin. The seaweed will reveal a different symbol on the next spin. This continuous until the stack(s) have moved off the reels.
Golden Shark Symbols
The seaweed cannot just reveal a random reel symbol, it can also reveal the Golden Shark symbol. All instances of the seaweed would then reveal the Golden Shark, which spins in position and reveals either a coin prize, a bet multiplier or a scatter symbol.
The coin prizes and multipliers will be added according to your bet size. If scatters are reveals, the free spins would be triggered as long as you have a total of at least three.
More Mystery Stacks and Win Multipliers in the Free Spins
We essentially get unlimited free spins in this slot. On reels 2 and 4, Mystery Stacks are added and function in the same way as they do in the base game. However, when a scatter symbol lands now, the Mystery Stacks are nudged up a spot instead of moving down, which essentially adds another spin to our counter.
Also, a multiplier torpedo is added on the right-hand side of the reels, where the multiplier increases by x1 every time the Mystery Stacks reveal another symbol.
The free spins only end when there are no Mystery Stacks on the reels anymore.
Razor Shark Design
Verdict: A highly volatile slot with high potential that could leave you hanging dry
The theoretical RTP (Return to Player) of Razor Shark is 96.70%, which is excellent. However, Razor Shark is Push Gaming’s most volatile slot to date, which means careful budgeting is in order. At the same time, Razor Shark also has the highest potential of any of their games, paying out as much as 50,000x our stake when we get enough wild sharks and multipliers on the reels during the free spins.
Razor Shark is nicely done, though not wholly original as the mechanics are reminiscent of Tiki Tumble, another Push Gaming title. Considering that Push Gaming always aims for originality, it is a little disappointing that there are somewhat less inventive here. Still, Razor Shark is absolutely worth playing, especially if you want to chase those big wins.
