The symbols on the paytable are ferocious sharks and the remaining possessions of any divers foolish enough to venture into their lair. The lower-value symbols are diving gear. The oxygen tank, flippers, goggles, and camera all pay 2.5x your bet for five on a payline.
The higher-value symbols are the game's shark characters. The blue shark pays 5x your bet for five on a payline, the green shark pays 7.5x, the pink shark pays 20x, and the orange shark pays 25x.
The Wild will stand in for all other symbols, except the scatter and pays 50x your bet for five on a payline.
Razor Returns follows a payline system, meaning wins are achieved when three or more matching symbols appear across any of the 20 fixed paylines, on adjacent positions, from left to right.
Mystery symbols that land in stacks and a lucrative free spins round that can be repeatedly triggered are this game’s main bonus features.
Seaweed symbols stacked four symbols high can land anywhere on the reels. This will trigger the Nudge & Reveal feature where the Mystery Stacks will move down one position with each following spin.
On each spin, the seaweed will part to reveal matching pay symbols or golden shark symbols.
When Mystery Stack transforms into golden shark symbols, each golden shark symbol position will award you bet multiplier coins valued at 1x -2500x, or scatter symbols.
When you land three or more scatter symbols anywhere on the reels, you will trigger the Free Spins bonus.
During this feature, reels 2 and 4 will be filled with Mystery Stacks that will shift down one position on each spin until they fall off the grid, ending the feature. More Mystery Stacks can also appear, which will keep the free spins going and a progressive win multiplier that starts at 1x will be increased by +1 with each nudge.
The maximum win potential in Razor Returns is worth an eye-watering 50,000x your bet.
RTP is a theoretical, statistical percentage of players' bets that a slot game should pay back over time. The RTP of Razor Shark is at 96.7%, just above the industry's average. The game features high volatility, meaning wins can be substantial but may take time to land.
Razor Shark features amusing cartoon graphics and animations that immerse you in an undersea adventure. The sharks are both scary and goofy, giving the gameplay experience a crazy feel. The soundtrack is a laidback tune that will help you relax while you play.
Your first step when you find a slot you want to try should be playing its free demo version first. Slot demos have all the same features and gameplay as real money slots, but you get to bet with virtual credits instead of your bankroll.
Sharks are intriguing creatures of the deep that range from ferocious killers to gentle giants. The rule of thumb is that if you see a shark fin above the waves, you should get away, but when it comes to slot games, a shark sighting could promise excitement and major rewards.
Razor Shark is a thrill ride of winning moments, but the high volatility can mean frequent dry spells. I enjoyed the cartoon theme, especially how each shark was a truly unique character. The selection of bonus features is also impressive, especially the combination of Free Spins and Mystery Stacks. The 50,000x top prize is more than enough reason to take the plunge, but you’ll have to be patient with the high-volatility gameplay if you want big wins.
