Feeding Fury Overview

The featured content for this game begins with the Shark Attack feature. This bonus triggers at random. When it does, wild icons on the board swim left on the grid, eating any fish in their way. If more than one wild lands on the same row, and a wild passes over an existing wild symbol, the existing wild has its multiplier increased. The other feature ominously is called Feed or Die. To activate it, players must land three or more logo scatters on the reels at the same time. In this feature, you collect points to progress through three levels to score bigger prizes. All features will be explained in more detail later in the review.

Feeding Fury Theme and Symbols

The theme for this game is an underwater sea theme. More specifically, however, this slot is inspired by what is typically described in the marine biology world as a feeding frenzy. This happens when an animal becomes injured and starts to bleed in the water. This outpouring of blood triggers a hunting and feeding impulse in sharks that changes their behaviour, so they hone in on the injured animal and any prey around it and start devouring any available creatures. It is usually a pretty visceral sight, turning the water red as more fish are consumed by the apex predators.

The background for this game is the sea, where sharks of various types would usually be found. In the base game, the image of this sea is calm and placid, with a few marine plants swaying gently in the tide. However, when the bonus feature is triggered, sharks dart into the image, ripping up fish in the wake and turning the screen red. Suddenly the game has a completely different aesthetic accompanied by a frenzied soundtrack that imbues yet more excitement and chaos. The playing board of this game is a simple red rectangle made of orange coral.

The symbols are split into low-paying, high-paying and special symbols. The low-paying symbols comprise the 10, J, Q, K and A in playing card royals. The A is the most valuable of these, worth 0.83x the stake for the top combination. The more valuable icons, however, comprise the flounder, blowfish, angel fish, orca and squid. The squid is the most valuable regular icon, worth 3.33x the stake for the top combination. The specials in this game are the half-eaten crab, a shark with glasses, a blood pool, feeding fury scatter, a charging shark icon and the brown shark wild (which is also worth 5x the stake for the top combination).

Feeding Fury Features

The first feature included in this game is the Shark Attack feature. This bonus is triggered at random. When it is, wild symbols swim left on the grid, eating the fish that get in their way. If more than one wild lands on the same row, and a wild pass over an existing wild symbol, the existing wild has its multiplier increased, helping you to boost the size of associated payouts. Wilds help to score more wins by substituting in for other regular icons.

The other feature in this game is called Feed or Die. To activate it, players need to land three or more of the scatter icons on the board at the same time. The more scatters that you trigger the game with, the more lives you will take into the feature. When the feature comes into effect, you’ll see that a Collector Shark sits in the middle of the game board. He will eat all fish that land, awarding a monetary value for each. Fish do not have to be adjacent to The Collector Shark to be eaten. The Collector Shark cannot eat Crab Symbols, and when a game round occurs with no fish symbols in view, a life is lost. As fish are eaten, they contribute points to a collection system; when the right number of points are gained in a single spin, the round moves to a higher level, of which there are three in total. The further you progress along these levels, the larger the collector shark becomes and the bigger and more numerous the multipliers in play. The Feed or Die feature continues until all lives have been lost or the win cap is reached.

Conclusion

Rewarding if pretty bloody fun awaits players of this exciting game. The playing experience is also varied and exciting, with a brace of nice features. Regarding payout potential, all factors seem rather positive, including the RTP, good top payout and controllable volatility. Enjoy the marine exploration and big wins in this new game from Iron Dog.
