Game Overview
Only 5% of the ocean has ever been explored, making you wonder about the battles that must go on beneath the surface between creatures we’ve yet to cast our eyes upon to determine who will ultimately become the apex predator. Out of all the species we are currently aware of, an unlikely match-up is the theme behind the Pragmatic Play slot we are putting under the microscope today as we’re introduced to Puffers vs Sharks. Before we talk features, let’s kick things off with the basic stats first. Puffers Vs Sharks is a 5 reel slot with 15 paylines, an RTP of 96.07%, and a maximum win of 15,000x bet.
Once the game loads up and you hit the depths of the ocean, your first task is to choose a mode. You can pick either Puffers, offering slightly less volatility, or Sharks, which, on average, will give you the best shot at hitting a jackpot paying bonus. Regardless of the mode you picked, if its special symbol lands in the gameplay, it will expand the entire length of the reel and have a multiplier of up to 100x attached to it. Last of all, a bonus round can be triggered when three scatters hit in the base game. Once the free spins feature is active, any expanded wild that lands will remain sticky for the duration of the bonus.
Who will you side with in this ultimate battle for underwater supremacy? If you’re still undecided, why not do some more research in our free Puffers vs Sharks demo slot below.
Puffers Vs Sharks Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
Among the many themes and genres that online slot providers like to shower us with, it would appear that from time to time; they just love to see a face-off in a versus release. So, if you quite like the sound and idea of today’s game, Puffers vs Sharks, you’ll also want to go and try out the Man vs Gator slot from Elk Studios, the excellent Aussies vs Emus from Blue Guru Games, and the popular Zeus vs Hades Gods of War demo, also developed by Pragmatic Play.
We’re crunching the numbers over at the pays section next, and due to there being two different modes you can play this game in, there are two sets of paytable symbols, well, for the premium payers, at least. I’ll list these together, starting with the Puffer Fish symbols first. So, kicking things off from the top, we have the Puffer/Shark wild symbols worth 20x the bet for a five of a kind win. These are followed by the Turtle/Octopus worth 10x, the Snail/Piranha at 10x, and the Squid/Fish and Seahorse/Crab completing the premiums, all with returns of 5x for a full line of five. The lower paying symbols are the same in both modes, where you’ll find the Ace, King, Queen, Jack and Ten, all with equal payouts of 1x the bet for a winning combo of five.
On to the possible betting options now on Puffers vs Sharks, and Pragmatic Play has ensured that the slot can be enjoyed by players of any sized bankroll. The minimum price to set the reels rolling starts at just €0.10 a spin, with the max stake on the game reaching €100.
Puffers Vs Sharks Slot Base Game & Modifiers
Puffers vs Sharks is played on a 5×5 reel matrix where just 15 paylines are active throughout all aspects of the gameplay. A win will be awarded if three or more matching symbols connect across a payline from left to right.
Choose Your Mode
When the game begins, or at any stage, after a spin has ended, you can choose which mode you’d like to play in. These are as follows:
- Puffers – High Volatility: There is a higher chance to hit the free spins feature, but the average win of the bonus is lower.
- Sharks – Very High Volatility: There is a lower chance to hit the free spins, but the average win of the bonus is higher.
Expanding Wilds
Whichever of the two modes you choose to play in, there will be a special wild symbol on the reel of either a pufferfish or a shark. When these land, they will expand the entire length of the reel and carry a multiplier value between 2x and 100x. If more than one multiplier is part of a winning combo, their values will be added together before being applied to the win.
Puffers Vs Sharks Slot Bonus Features
Treasure Chest scatter symbols only appear on reels 1, 3, and 5. If all three land simultaneously, the bonus round will be triggered, and 10 free spins will be awarded.
Free Spins Feature
During the free spins bonus, all expanding wilds that land in view will remain sticky for the duration of the feature. Players should, however, note that the bonus cannot be re-triggered.
Bonus Buy
Those playing from a territory where the bonus buy button is active can choose from the following two options.
- Standard Bonus: Costs 150x bet.
- Enhanced Bonus with one guaranteed expanding wild: Costs 300x bet.
Pros
- A clone of a very popular Pragmatic Play release.
- Higher max win than most Pragmatic slots of 15,000x bet.
Cons
- The fact it's a clone may also put some people off.
Puffers Vs Sharks Slot Review Final Thoughts
Those of you who are as sharp as a tack would have instantly picked up on the fact that Puffers vs Sharks is, in fact, a clone of one of their previous releases, Zeus vs Hades, Gods of War.That's, of course, not a bad thing, as that game remains hugely popular in both online casinos and here on our demo platform. So, the main dilemma you'll be left with, if you liked the concept of the original slot, is which theme you enjoy more.
