Snap Up Big Wins in BGaming’s Shark & Spark Hold & Win

Popular iGaming content provider BGaming is excited to announce the release of its latest character-led online slot, Shark & Spark Hold & Win, with an experimental bonus mode and refreshing approach to Hold and Win mechanics.

Players are taken deep beneath the waves, where a charismatic baby shark and a 5×6 game grid packed with colourful fish await. This playful shark is more companion than predator, reacting to the game’s events with expressive animations while also serving as the lead character in the Sharks & Ladders bonus game.

Shark & Spark Hold & Win utilises a pay-anywhere mechanic and a Cascading Wins feature, which keeps the winning potential high, while Pearl symbols displaying prizes and multipliers can land and be collected on every spin.

Getting four or more Scatter symbols in one spin will randomly trigger one of two bonus features. The first is Coin Respin, a Hold & Win–style game. In the round, Coin symbols drop onto an empty grid, with each Coin sticking to the reels and resetting the spin count. When the spins run out, all Coins and multipliers are tallied together and paid out.

The second bonus is Sharks & Ladders, a Snakes & Ladders–inspired board game where players play as the previously mentioned shark, munching their way around the board to collect multipliers and take advantage of shortcuts. Those lucky enough to make it to the end of the board will get a chance to spin the Wheel of Fortune, with wins ranging between ×100 and ×5,000 up for grabs.

This maximum win is complemented by a medium-high volatility math model and an impressive RTP of 97%.

If players do not want to wait for the shark to take a nibble, they can trigger either of the bonuses using the Buy Bonus feature.

Shark & Spark Hold & Win’s charming design and inventive board-game-style bonus feature make it the perfect title to attract new customers, while the unique action offered by Sharks & Ladders also makes it an excellent option for streamers and for boosting player retention.

Alex Baliukonis, Game Producer at BGaming, said, “Our team had a lot of fun with the development of Shark & Spark Hold & Win. The Snakes & Ladders board game concept feels totally different from anything else in our portfolio, and we believe its features will speak to a wide range of players. It also has the potential to be a huge hit with streamers.

The central shark character adds plenty of fun and personality to the game, with the design giving our team the chance to flex their creative muscles. We’ve seen several of our characters resonate with players in the past, and we have no doubt they are going to fall in love with this one, too.”
