Unleash the mighty Meg in Shark Bait

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Get ready to swim with the sharks in Yggdrasil and Hungrybear Gaming’s thrilling new slot that plunges into a deep-sea world of cascading wins, wilds and prehistoric predators.

An aquatic adventure like no other, Shark Bait submerges players in a 7x7 grid where winning combinations are formed by a cluster pay mechanic, and any one of five features create a feeding frenzy on the reels.

In the base game the carnage is started with an array of modifiers, as Net Clear makes the most of the cascade playstyle by sweeping away the low-paying symbols. These are replaced by high-value alternatives that dive down and create even more lucrative combinations.

Warning Bites sees a sudden surge in the ocean, adding up to six wild symbols to the reels, while Blood Trails are left by sharks streaking from left to right, revealing a trail of wild symbols in their wake. Both wild features significantly increase the potential for big wins.

The colossal Megalodon CHOMP feature is the pinnacle of the game. Each winning line earns connections, and 25 are needed in a single game cycle to progress along the on-screen meter. Hit 100, and the feature is triggered, summoning a mighty megalodon to wrap its colossal mouth around the grid and take a big bite, leaving wilds behind to transform the reels into winning patterns.

Shark Bait is powered by GATI, Yggdrasil’s state-of-the-art technology that enables partners to employ the preconfigured, regulation-ready, standardized development toolkit to produce cutting-edge content followed by consistent, rapid distribution.

Zoe Bird, Senior Product & Program Manager at Yggdrasil, said: “Hungrybear has done a fantastic job of reinvigorating this genre of slot, with their new release Shark Bait.

“The features are great fun, adding to the dynamic action of cascading symbols for unmatched win potential.”

Joe Chamberlain, Product Lead at Hungrybear, said: “With five fabulous features to get your teeth into, Shark Bait makes an absolute splash. We wanted to create an exciting and rewarding game, and we believe this delivers on both fronts.

“The anticipation of triggering the Megalodon CHOMP and the frequent appearance of random wilds creates a thrilling slot experience.”
