Aristocrat's shark double-bill with a four-way bonus chooser
Landing three scattered JAWS symbols opens a second screen where players pick from four bonus paths, including a sticky-wild free spins mode and dice games with escalating multipliers up to 25x.
Wilds that land during the free spins round stay locked in place for the remainder of the round, making later spins noticeably more lucrative than the first.
Certain symbols freeze on the reels to trigger respins, giving extra chances to complete winning combinations without a fresh wager.
Wild shark symbols can stack and expand across reels, boosting the size and frequency of winning lines during regular play.
Three distinct bonus mini-games return from the original JAWS title, each letting players tap teeth, chase the shark, or reveal hidden prizes for extra credits.
A randomly triggered table-game style bonus awards 30 free spins where a shark or ship token moves across a board, with landing on the jackpot space paying out large, small, or mini prizes.
Choose your coin value and number of lines across the 25-payline layout before spinning, keeping in mind this is a medium-volatility game.
Use the spin button to set the five reels in motion and watch for wild shark symbols and regular paying icons to line up.
Land three scattered JAWS symbols anywhere on the reels to open the second-screen bonus, where you'll choose between free spins or one of several dice-game multiplier options.
During free spins, watch for the Shark or Ship symbol to move across the bonus board — matching it with the jackpot space pays out the large, small, or mini prize tier.
Landing three scattered JAWS symbols during regular play activates the game's core bonus function, opening a second screen where players are offered four distinct paths to extra winnings: a seven-spin free games mode built around sticky wilds, a five-choice dice game paying multipliers of two, three, or five, a three-choice dice game paying three, five, or eight times the stake, or the most volatile route — a single dice pick that can multiply prizes by 10, 15, or 25.
Jaws and Jaws: Night Hunter hold a rare distinction on this site — they’re the only two closely related titles sharing a single review page. Both come from Aristocrat, share the same core mechanics, and largely surface in different regional markets, which is why they’re treated as one entry here rather than split apart like Queen of the Nile and its sequel.
Night Hunter builds on the original JAWS formula with a cinematic upgrade: stacked and expanding wild sharks, locked respin symbols, and a second-screen bonus that branches into free spins or one of several escalating dice-multiplier paths. Familiar extras like Golden Jaw, Shark Hunter, and Feeding Time carry over from the earlier game, giving players tap-the-teeth credit hunts, a shark-tracking pick’em, and a fast-paced icon-reveal round.
The catch is that both games remain land-based cabinet titles rather than online slots, so fans hoping to play Jaws from home may need to wait for Aristocrat to bring it to an online platform. In the meantime, players can explore other water-themed slots from various providers that capture a similar five-reel, multi-payline, wild-and-scatter-driven experience.
This version includes Night Hunter Free Games, Wild Shark Symbols, Respins with Locked Symbols, and Stacked and Expanding Wilds, delivering a more cinematic experience than the original JAWS game.
Some cabinet setups link the game to a table-style jackpot bonus, where a shark or ship token moves across a board during free spins to reveal large, small, or mini prize tiers.
Because it was designed as a land-based cabinet title, mobile and online versions are not widely available unless Aristocrat brings the game to an online platform in the future.
Landing three scattered JAWS symbols anywhere on the reels opens a second screen where you choose between a sticky-wild free spins mode or one of several dice games with multipliers up to 25x.
The game brings back Golden Jaw, Shark Hunter, and Feeding Time from the original JAWS slot, each offering a different way to pick symbols or track the shark for extra credits.
