The feature set splits cleanly between the base game and the hold-and-respin bonus. Shark Wilds do the work on ordinary spins. Prize symbols, empty cells and the Don Shark appear only once a bonus or special mode is open. Understanding that split is more useful than treating every special as a simple extra wild.
Shark Wild
The Shark Wild substitutes for all other paying symbols and carries a multiplier between 2x and 10x. When it is part of a winning cluster, that multiplier is applied to the payout. On a 7x7 cluster grid a well-placed shark can connect several groups at once, which is why a modest pistol or hat cluster can jump in size without a huge symbol count.
Shark Wilds already on the board when a bonus triggers are carried over into the feature. That carry is one of the more important rules in the game. A base game spin that looks average can still matter if a multiplied wild is sitting there when the third, fourth or fifth scatter lands. Sessions are likely to treat those held wilds as a head start rather than a guaranteed bonus result.
Bonus, Super and Epic Rounds
The FS scatter does not pay. It only opens one of three bonus rounds. Three scatters trigger the Bonus round, four scatters trigger Super, and five scatters trigger Epic. Each round starts with three respins. The higher scatter counts are the rarer, stronger entries into the same hold-and-respin idea rather than a completely different game.
Expected bonus frequency is not published, so natural three-scatter triggers should be treated as irregular events in a high-volatility model. Four-scatter and five-scatter entries are rarer still. The bonus buy menu exists for players who do not want to wait for those scatter counts, at a cost that needs its own bankroll plan.
Prize Symbols and Compound Interest
Prize symbols appear only in the bonus and special modes. They carry cash values, become sticky when they land, and grow through compound interest while they remain on the grid. Their appearance upgrades as the value increases, which makes the board readable even when several prizes have been sitting for a few respins.
Compound growth is the mechanic that gives quiet bonus spins a purpose. A prize that lands early can keep swelling while later respins try to fill empty cells. The published data does not list the interest rate or the cash-value steps, so those figures should be read in the in-game paytable rather than assumed. What is confirmed is the behaviour: sticky values, compound growth, and a visual upgrade as the prize gets larger.
Don Shark and Respins
The Don Shark appears only in the bonus and special modes. It turns sticky when it lands and carries a multiplier. Empty symbols also occupy the bonus grid. Respins continue until a symbol lands on those empty cells, which means the round is a fill-the-board sequence rather than a fixed spin count after the opening three respins.
The Don Shark is the collector-style threat inside that structure. A sticky multiplier sitting among growing prize values is likely to be the moment a bonus jumps, provided enough prizes have already locked in. Empty cells are the other side of the same coin: they keep the respins alive, but they also leave holes that must be filled before the round can end on a complete board.
