About this Slot
Loan Shark is a crime-themed slot from Paperclip Gaming with 7 reels and 7 rows using cluster pays. The RTP is 96%, volatility is high, and the maximum win is 25,000x.
Matching symbols in clusters cascade and drop away as new symbols fall to fill empty spaces. Shark Wild symbols substitute for regular symbols and carry multipliers ranging from 2x to 10x. When multiple Shark Wilds connect, their multipliers multiply together.
The Bonus triggers when 3 Bonus symbols land. These convert into Shark Wilds, and the feature begins with an empty board and 3 respins. The respin counter resets to 3 each time a new symbol lands on the board.
Super triggers with 4 Bonus symbols, starting with 3 Shark Wilds and 1 Boss Don Shark already placed. Prize symbols stay sticky throughout Super. Epic triggers with 5 Bonus symbols and begins with 3 Shark Wilds and 2 Boss Don Sharks in play. Boss Don Shark appears only in bonus modes, stays sticky during respins, and adds interest with each respin whilst multiplying all connected prizes and clusters.
Knock at the Door is a single-spin special mode where Boss Don Sharks charge interest once. Family Visit is a single-spin special mode that lands with more Wilds pre-placed on the board.
Bonus can be purchased for 100x the bet. Super can be purchased for 300x the bet. Mystery is available at an unspecified price and delivers a 50% chance of no win, 40% chance of Super, or 10% chance of Epic. Extra Chance raises the trigger chance for Bonus, Super or Epic. Super Chance targets Super or Epic triggers only and offers a higher trigger rate than standard play.
