Last year we wrote an article challenging the slot providers to take on the wonderful Sharknado franchise and Pariplay have stepped up to the plate and brought us their Sharknado slot. In a lot of respects this slot really hits the mark with regards to the original movie (the slot is based on Sharknado 1, not the sequels. As of the first couple of weeks since launch however there are still quite a few little bugs that need ironing out on the technical side.

The bugs aside, the game play is clearly geared towards fans of the movie and the casual player. When it runs smoothly it is a lot of fun although waiting for a very big win can leave you waiting for quite some time. Thankfully there’s enough little wins around to keep the balance ticking over.

Game Information

Fin’s Random Wilds:Main Game Features

Every so often, a wild Sharknado will appear in the middle of the screen and a helicopter will fly from the right-hand side of the screen and try to drop a bomb in order to destroy the wild Sharknado. In the case of a failed attempt, a shark will jump out from the water and eat the bomb. In the case that the bomb destroys the Sharkando, an explosion will occur that will throw random shark wilds on the reels that will substitute for all symbols except for free spins scatters.
The shark wilds will remain on the reels for one turn.
