Deep Sea Frenzy: Sharks That Grow

Deep Sea Frenzy is a money-collect slot from Pragmatic Play built around shark money symbols, collect symbols with multipliers and a free spins round where values rise every spin. Pragmatic Play lists its RTP at 96.52%.

The structure will feel familiar to anyone who has played a fishing-style collect slot: values land on the first four reels, and a collector on the fifth reel scoops them up. What sets Deep Sea Frenzy apart is how the bonus is triggered and the way money values are tied to the spin count once the free spins start.

Pragmatic Play gives Deep Sea Frenzy an RTP of 96.52%. Over a very large number of spins, that is a theoretical return of about 96.5p for every pound staked, which sits on the stronger side for a modern online slot.

RTP is a long-run average across all players, not a prediction for a session, and casinos can sometimes offer alternative settings of the same game. The figure shown in the game's information screen at your casino is the one that applies to you.

Shark money symbols can land on reels 1 to 4 and carry random values of up to 200x. In the base game they have no effect on their own; they need a collect symbol to cash them in.

Collect symbols land only on reel 5 and can carry multipliers of up to 5x. The multiplier applies to the combined value the collector picks up, so the same group of sharks can pay five times as much with a 5x collector as with an unmultiplied one.

There is also a special +1 Spin collect symbol. It works as a collector but also adds an extra free spin, either when it is the symbol that triggers the feature or whenever it lands during the bonus game.

Deep Sea Frenzy does not use scatter symbols in the usual way. The free spins round triggers when eight or more shark money symbols land on the same spin as a collect symbol.

Before the bonus begins, the collector pays out the combined value of every money symbol on screen, boosted by any multiplier it carries. Only then does the game move into the free spins with five spins to play.

As an illustrative example of how the rule combines numbers: if eight sharks totalling 20x landed alongside a 3x collector, the trigger spin would pay 60x before the bonus started. That is a worked example of the stated rule, not a typical or expected result.

The bonus starts with five free spins, and its defining rule is that money symbol values are progressive. On the first free spin they are worth 1x, and they climb with each spin until they reach 200x by the twelfth.

That rule makes the length of the bonus matter more than in most collect slots. With only five spins, money symbols never reach their top values. Each +1 Spin collect symbol extends the round by one spin, and the further it goes, the more each shark is worth when a collector lands.

During the bonus, a collect symbol awards the value of every money symbol that lands on the same free spin. Pragmatic does not publish the value of each step between 1x and 200x, so the exact progression is best watched in the demo.

The +1 Spin collector is the symbol that decides how good a Deep Sea Frenzy bonus can become. Because the round starts with five spins and values only reach 200x by the twelfth spin, reaching the higher values needs at least seven extra spins.

So a bonus with no +1 Spin collectors stays in the lower end of the value scale, while a run of them pushes the round into the stage where sharks are worth much more. It also helps on the trigger: a +1 Spin collector that triggers the feature adds its spin straight away.

Pragmatic Play offers a free demo, and it is worth using to see how often eight or more sharks appear alongside a collector. That frequency is what decides how often the bonus arrives, and no figure for it is published.

In the bonus, keep track of the spin count and the money symbol values on each spin, and note how many +1 Spin collectors appear. That will show how the 1x to 200x climb plays out in practice. Demo play uses virtual credit and has no bearing on real-money results.

Deep Sea Frenzy takes a well-worn collect format and adds a clear twist: shark values that grow with every free spin, and a +1 Spin collector that becomes the most important symbol in the bonus. The 96.52% RTP is a solid published figure.

Quick checklist: confirm the RTP in your casino's game info, try the demo to see how often the bonus triggers, and set a budget and deposit limit before playing for real. Slots are for adults aged 18 and over, and outcomes are random.

What is the RTP of Deep Sea Frenzy?

Pragmatic Play lists the RTP of Deep Sea Frenzy at 96.52%. That is a long-run theoretical average across a very large number of spins, not a guide to any single session. Check the game's information screen at your casino, because the figure shown there is the one that applies to your play.

How do you trigger free spins in Deep Sea Frenzy?

Land eight or more shark money symbols on the same spin as a collect symbol on reel 5. The collector first pays the combined value of the money symbols, boosted by any multiplier it carries, and then the bonus starts with five free spins. A +1 Spin collector on the trigger adds one more spin.

How much are the money symbols worth in Deep Sea Frenzy?

In the base game, shark money symbols land on reels 1 to 4 with random values of up to 200x. In the free spins their values are progressive, starting at 1x on the first spin and rising to 200x by the twelfth. Collect symbols on reel 5 can multiply collected values by up to 5x.

What does the +1 Spin symbol do in Deep Sea Frenzy?

The +1 Spin collect symbol collects money symbols like a normal collector and also adds one extra free spin. It does this when it triggers the feature and every time it lands during the bonus. Because money values rise each spin, extra spins let the round reach higher shark values.

Can I play Deep Sea Frenzy for free?
