Shark School is just a slot about sharks and other sea life. However, the game takes inspiration from the Hollywood movie Nemo.
About Shark School
Shark School is a cute video slot by Realtime Gaming that promises endless hours of entertainment.

Swim Fishy Swim, the Bad Sharky, and Don't Eat the Teacher bonuses award free spins, win multipliers, instant payouts to ensure players are content.
How to Play Shark School
While the game supports 50 paylines, it is up to players to choose the number of active lines, although activating the maximum number is highly beneficial. Meanwhile, up and down arrows within bet are to select the favorite coin value. Keep in mind that the Bet field displays your total amount wagered, while the current bet per payline shows in the upper right corner. So before you press spin or autoplay to start, you might want to check the paytable, which you can access by pressing Help. You'll see that Octopus Teacher is Wild, and that particular symbol appears on reel one in a group. It replaces other game icons, including the Scatter. The School image represents the Scatter icon, and it pays out Scatter wins, among other features.
Symbols & Paytable
The symbols of Shark School vary from the variety of sea life, Octopi, sharks, and small fish, which escape the different shark jaws. The five-by-three grid with 50 paylines lets players dive into an aquamarine adventure where they get to see fish of all kinds. You can channel your inner aquatic hero and save smaller fish from sharks swimming about to secure coins. In addition, some prizes come with finding all the different types of sharks from hammerhead, bottle-nosed, square-nosed to the Great Whites.
Wild Octopus
The wild is the Octopus Teacher at the shark school, and the symbol appears on the first reel only. The scatter symbol is the School's image, which triggers three bonus features for players to pick. The three bonus features are as follows. The Swim Fishy comes with 25 free spins and a 200x win multiplier. The Bad Sharky has up to 10 free spins, and the Don't Eat the Teacher bonus gives you up to 25 free spins with a win multiplier that increases in sequence from a 2x multiplier value.
Bonus Features & Paytable
Visit Shark School to meet some colorful representatives of the underwater world, such as a great white shark, the hammerhead shark, a tiger shark, a clownfish, and an angelfish, to name a few. All of them were under the watchful eye of a strict Octopus Teacher all the time. It's one exciting classroom where it is never easy to keep order. Three School Scatters in any position trigger the bonus game. You then select one of the symbols to unlock one of three features. The Swim Fishy bonus will see you try and help a little fish escape the hungry shark, with free games in play until the fish eats or it runs after 25 free spins. A bonus prize of 200x your stake awards if the fish escapes. The Bad Sharky triggers between three and ten free spins, where one of the shark symbols covers the entire reel three. Each fish that the sharks eat replaces the shark icon. The Don't Eat the Teacher bonus wards free games with a 2x win multiplier. For example, a shark appearing on reel five will attempt to eat any Teacher symbol occurring on the same row on reel one. In case the Teacher can survive, the free games continue, and the multiplier increases by 1x. A bonus prize of 100x your stake pays out if the Teacher image stays 25 free spins.
Payouts & Betting Options
Similar to other RTG slot machines, Shark School supports a range of coin denominations for different kinds of casino players. There are 15 coin values on offer, starting from $0.01 and up to $5, while players also get to select between one and 50 paylines to be active. Provided they activate a maximum number of lines, the total bet per spin can be anywhere from $0.50 to $250. Payouts during the main game may not be over the top, but winning combinations should occur quite frequently, seeing as how even two matching icons can qualify for a payout. At the same time, mixed payouts will also come in handy, and three symbols award 1,000 credits or more, with 1,500 being the maximum coin jackpot in base play.
