Put down your pina colada and take a look at this totally tropical and zany multi ways win game where anything goes. The sharp fella gives a pirate like laugh when symbols fall in your favour for wins.

Theme and Graphics
Having already told you about Sharky himself, you will be delighted to smell the coconut breeze as you play this game. The background animation is of a tropical far away island, with the sounds of the sea gentle lapping on the beach, palm trees gentle moving in the breeze.
The music has a hint of steel pans and cheeky melodies that fit perfectly with Sharkys interactions throughout the game.
The symbols are going to transport you to feeling like you are on holiday with coconut drinks, watermelon slices and ice creams. Coupled with more traditional symbols such as cherries and bananas, this really mixes traditional with sunshine.
How To Play
This game isn’t rocket science to work out and with the scatter / avalanche / cascade concept, you basically need 8 or more of the same symbol to appear for a win. Simply choose your bet amount and press the spin button.
There is a bonus buy game which really is quite fun, Sharky gets on his surf board, the music is pumped up faster and the bonus game takes you through many more spins to watch treasure chests open up offering more win symbols.
