Playing Desert Shark is fairly simple. The minimum bet each spin is 0.20, and the maximum is 100. Four low value coins of various colours, as well as exquisitely adorned jugs, bottles, compasses, camels, and a pirate prince, are among the symbols.
The latter is the most lucrative symbol, paying out 0.6, 1.5, or 5 times your initial wager when 3, 4, or 5 appear together. The wild symbol, a gold W, can also pay 0.75, 2 or 7.5 times your wager for 3, 4 or 5 of a kind on a payline in addition to replacing all other symbols.
A pair of the golden shark symbols will activate the Swim Swim feature, so keep an eye out for them. The golden shark symbol can only appear on reels 3, 4, and 5, and it frequently does so in stacks that partially or entirely cover the reels.
In either case, the sharks will swim to the left and transform ordinary symbols into wilds in their wake as long as you land at least two. A 2x multiplier wild will turn into the symbol to the left of the shark if it is one, and the multiplier will rise by 1x for each "shark attack" up to a maximum of 9x.
The Tornado scatter, which is the other special symbol to watch out for, starts the free spins round when it appears on the same spin's reels 2, 3, and 4. You are awarded 8 free spins to use, and each of those spins includes the Dynamite Wild feature.
More specifically, prior to each spin, 1 to 6 dynamite wilds will be distributed at random across the reels. The swim wilds are required to activate the dynamite wilds, which only appear on reels 1, 2, and 3. The swim wild will explode any dynamite wild it hits, turning 2 to 6 random symbols into wilds or multiplier wilds up to 9x.
