Razor Shark does one thing very well: it makes the free spins round feel like it's going somewhere. Mystery stacks slide down the reels, and every nudge pushes the multiplier up. Nothing resets halfway. That's rarer than it should be.
It's a Push Gaming game on a 5x4 grid with 20 lines, and it scores 8.4 on our Spin Score. A 96.7% top RTP and a strong bonus carry most of it.
One number on this page needs a footnote, though, and it's the big one. Push Gaming's game page doesn't give a max win. The 50,000x figure we use comes from Bigwinboard, which lists it as "50,000x+". Push Gaming publishes a "highest observed win" for many of its games, the largest win it has recorded, but our record for Razor Shark doesn't show one on the studio's page.

Slots that share what makes Razor Shark what it is, in Spin Score order, at most two per provider. Razor Shark itself is scored in the spec sheet above. Spin Score = 40% RTP, 15% max win, 30% free spins round, 15% base game. How we score
The sequel, and the only slot here that outscores Razor Shark. It moves to a 5x5 grid with 40 lines and starts free spins at x1, x5 or x25 depending on how many scatters land, then nudges the multiplier up from there. Razor Reveal can fire inside the round too. Score 8.7. The 100,000x figure is Push Gaming's highest observed win, not a cap. RTP is 96.55% or 94.49%. Push Bet adds 10% to the stake, and bonus buys aren't offered in some markets, the UK among them.

Same studio, different shape. An 8x8 cascading grid where clusters of five or more fruits pay and Jam Jar wilds roam around in free spins, picking up bigger multipliers every time they join a win. It scores 8.5 on a 96.83% top RTP, the highest on this list, and a busier base game than Razor Shark's. Push Gaming's highest observed win is 19,998.5x, well below the shark's quoted ceiling. Also two settings: 94.25% is the other.

A hold-and-win game rather than a nudge game, but it sits in the same high-volatility bracket and scores the same 8.5 as Jammin' Jars. The Money Cart bonus scores a 10: three respins with Collectors, Payers, Snipers and a Necromancer acting on each other. Relax Gaming lists a 50,000x max win. The base game is quiet, with a 19.55% hit frequency per SlotCatalog, and Relax lists a German version at 90%. Skip the 100x bonus buy.

Very high volatility (9.9 out of 10 on NetEnt's scale) and a bonus built for it: 12 free spins with a choice of Old Saloon, High Noon Saloon or Train Heist, all running on sticky wilds and multipliers up to 16x. It scores 8.4. The max win is messy. NetEnt's stats box says 1,600x; the Train Heist text on the same page says 100,000x, which is what we use. The base game is plain 9-line hits, a 3 from our editors.

How Razor Shark plays
Five reels, four rows, twenty lines. Bets go from 0.10 to 100 per spin, per Bigwinboard.
The base game has two moving parts. Mystery stacks drop onto the reels, nudge, and reveal a symbol when they settle. And Golden Shark symbols start Razor Reveal, an instant prize feature that pays out on the spin.
Our editors score the base game a 6. It isn't a slog, because the stacks give a lot of spins a bit of tension. But most of the game's value lives in the bonus, and with high volatility that means stretches where very little lands. Push Gaming rates it high.
The free spins round, in detail
In free spins, mystery stacks sit on reels 2 and 4. Each spin they nudge down a step, and every nudge raises a win multiplier. The multiplier keeps climbing for as long as the stacks keep moving. Extra scatters at the trigger mean you start with more spins and more stacks.
Why does it score an 8? Because it builds. Plenty of free spins rounds hand out a fixed multiplier or one that resets every spin. Here a slow start can turn late, since the multiplier you've built carries forward.
It also means the round can fizzle. If the stacks don't line up with anything worth having, a high multiplier on a small win is still a small win. That's high volatility in practice.
Where the 50,000x figure comes from
Push Gaming's page for Razor Shark gives the RTP settings, the volatility and the grid. It doesn't give a max win. Bigwinboard lists "50,000x+", and that's the number in our record.
For several of its other games, Push Gaming publishes a "highest observed win": the largest win it has seen on that game. That's a real-world record, not a theoretical cap, and it's what we quote for Jammin' Jars and Razor Returns on this page. Razor Shark doesn't have one in our record.
This matters for the score. Our max win factor uses a log scale, and 50,000x or more earns the top mark of 10. If the true figure were, say, 5,000x, the overall Spin Score would fall from 8.4 to about 7.8. So read the 8.4 as resting partly on a third-party number. The scoring method is on how we score slots.
Either way, a max win is a ceiling almost no one reaches. It tells you how wild the game can get, not what to expect.
RTP: two settings, one check
Push Gaming lists two RTP settings, 96.70% and 94.06%, and says the RTP may vary by casino. The loading screen shows which one you're on.
The gap is smaller than on a five-setting Play'n GO game, but it still counts. Over the long run the house keeps about 3.3% of stakes at the top setting and about 5.94% at the lower one, close to double. At 94.06% our formula would score Razor Shark about 5.3. No setting changes the basic maths: every spin has a negative expected value. Our RTP guide explains more.
Who it suits, and what to play instead
It suits a player who likes high-volatility slots, has a budget sized for long quiet spells, and wants a bonus that rewards patience inside the round. It doesn't suit short sessions or small budgets.
If you like it, try Razor Returns next. It's the same idea with a bigger grid, starting multipliers and more base game features, and it's the one slot on this list that ranks higher. Jammin' Jars is the Push Gaming pick for a busier base game. Dead or Alive 2 is the harsher, simpler alternative. All of them are on the Push Gaming or NetEnt pages.
