SlotPG Soft · disclosure COcean & sea lifeNot scored yet

PG Soft's own game information sheet publishes a full labelled spec for this title: a stated overall RTP of 96.73%, split between the main game (70.01%) and the Free Spins Feature (26.72%). It states a High volatility label directly, an overall hit rate of 29.50%, and the Free Spins Feature's own trigger rate of 0.38%. Its advertised Max Win of 5000x agrees with its own one-billion-spin Max Exposure simulation, and the sheet states plainly that a spin ends the moment total win reaches that cap. The sheet's own RTP chart shows a wider 94% to 100% range is selectable for this title, but only the 96.73% build is broken down in text, so only that build is stored. A Feature Buy option exists, a menu to buy directly into the Free Spins Feature, but the sheet does not publish a purchase price or a purchased-play RTP, so neither is stored. It names its own tester, Gaming Associates, without publishing a certificate number or document. The sheet's introduction states the grid as a 5 by 6 symbol combination while its own summary table prints a contradictory '6 Reels, 5 Columns' cell; the introduction's statement is what this record stores, and the contradiction is noted rather than silently resolved. The sheet's own document-revision stamp reads 23/07/2025 rather than a stated release date, and no provider-side page rendered its own release date within this run's read budget, so no wide_release_date is stored. We have not scored this game.

Shark Bounty is a slot from PG Soft shipping in 1 published return configuration. Every figure on the page is dated and links to where the studio published it. No operator on our records has told us which build they run, so the served figure on this page is empty rather than guessed.

the most this game can pay, as a multiple of your stake. It is the studio's own figure, and it is a ceiling rather than a forecast.

pgsoft.com · the studio's own site · grade cchecked basis: The provider's own game information sheet states Max Win as '5000x' (footnoted 'Advertised Value; Highest Win in (x) Spins'), and its own one-billion-spin simulation states the same 5000x as 'Max Exposure', the two figures agreeing. The sheet states directly that if the total win in the main game or the Free Spins Feature reaches this amount, the spin ends.

Features

What each one does, and what it means for your session.

Tumble

Win evaluation

Winning symbols are removed and new symbols drop into the gaps, so a single spin can pay several times before it ends.

What it means for you: Raises the ceiling of any one spin and lengthens it. Sessions feel streakier than the hit frequency alone suggests.

Symbols in a winning combination explode; symbols above cascade down to fill the gaps, forming a new round. This repeats until no more winning combinations form, then payout is made.

How often it triggersThe studio does not publish this figure.Not published

Scatter pays

Win evaluation

Symbols pay on count anywhere on the grid rather than along a line, so position does not matter.

What it means for you: Removes payline geometry from the reader’s mental model; wins read as simpler.

Any combination of 7 or more matching symbols appearing anywhere on the grid, not required to touch or align, forms a winning combination.

How often it triggersThe studio does not publish this figure.Not published

Free spins

Free spinsheadline

A triggered round of spins that costs nothing and usually changes the maths.

What it means for you: Where most of the return lives in modern slots. How long it takes to reach is the feature frequency.

3 Scatter symbols appearing anywhere trigger the Free Spins Feature with 10 free spins; each additional Scatter awards 2 more. The feature carries its own Hunter symbol collection mechanic that adds extra spins and raises Hunter values as it climbs (see the collection link).

Bonus buy

PurchaseRegulated in some markets

The free-spins round can be bought outright for a fixed multiple of the base bet, skipping the wait.

What it means for you: Compresses a long session into one purchase, and usually at a different RTP from the base game.

A Feature Buy menu lets a player buy directly into the Free Spins Feature at a price the sheet says is displayed in the Feature Buy menu itself. No purchase price or purchased-play RTP figure is published on any page read this run.

Collected multipliers

Multiplier

Multiplier values are banked over the course of a feature and applied together at its end, or on the spin that collects them, rather than being used one at a time as they land.

What it means for you: Backloads the feature's payout, so its value is decided in its final moments rather than spread evenly across it.

A Shark symbol carrying a value from 1x to 50x of the bet amount is added to the reels after every winning combination in a spin. Once a spin has no more winning combinations, 5 or more Shark symbols on the reels combine into a single Mega Shark symbol carrying their combined value. If Hunter symbols are also present on the reels at that point, the spin's win is the Hunter symbols' combined value multiplied by the Shark symbols' combined value.

How often it triggersThe studio does not publish this figure.Not published

Symbol collection

Symbol behaviourheadline

Winning symbols are banked into a meter above the reels. When the meter reaches set thresholds, it triggers a feature instead of a normal win.

What it means for you: Lengthens sessions by design, and is worth flagging in a responsible play context even where it is not a regulated feature.

During the Free Spins Feature, Hunter symbols collected at the bottom of the reels are banked toward thresholds of 4, 8, 12 and 16, then every 4 more after that. Each threshold awards 5 additional free spins and raises the value of every remaining Hunter symbol: to 2x the current bet at 4, 3x at 8, 5x at 12, 10x at 16, then a further 10x higher for each threshold reached beyond that.

Questions

Is Shark Bounty rigged?

We hold a testing certificate for this game. It is listed above, with the versions it covers and the date it expires.

What RTP will I actually get on Shark Bounty?

PG Soft publishes one figure, 96.73%, as a long-run average. That is the studio's number, not a reading from any casino. We have not yet checked what one actually serves.

Why has this game not been scored?

Where can I play Shark Bounty?

We have not confirmed a casino for this game yet, so this page does not send you to one. A list we have not checked would be an advert, not a recommendation.

What we do not have yet

Listed rather than hidden, so you can see the shape of what is missing.

Playable demo

We add a game once its studio has confirmed we may put it on the page.

Where to play

We have not confirmed a casino carrying this game, so we are not sending you to one.

Pros and cons

Nobody has reviewed this game yet, and we would rather say so than generate a list from the numbers above.

Paytable

Player-reported returns

We publish these only once at least 10,000 spins are behind them.

Big wins

A win goes here only with a date, a stake and a replay to back it up.
