SHARK WASH by Relax — RTP & Analytics

Shark Wash is a 5-reel, 4-row slot from Relax Gaming with 1024 ways to win, featuring high volatility and a maximum win of 5000x the stake. Gameplay centers on cascading reels, where winning symbols are removed and replaced by new ones falling into place, enabling multiple wins per spin. The core mechanic, Countdown Wild, introduces sticky wilds with counters ranging from 1 to 5; each cascade involving a win decrements the counter, and upon reaching zero, the wild is removed but adds its starting value to a win multiplier meter, which activates and applies to subsequent wins in the round. Free spins trigger via 3, 4, or 5 scatters, awarding 7, 10, or 15 spins respectively, with additional spins from landing more scatters; during this feature, the Countdown Wild multiplier persists and increases with wins. Visually, the game adopts a colorful underwater car wash theme with anthropomorphic sharks wielding sponges and hoses amid bubbly ocean scenery, blending cartoonish animal characters with aquatic elements. It stands out through the innovative Countdown Wild system, which evolves traditional sticky wilds into a timed mechanic that builds multiplier potential across cascades, particularly enhanced in free spins for sustained high-volatility action.
