Golden Shark (Joker123): picking boxes on a reef instead of spinning reels

Golden Shark looks like a fish game at first glance: a dark reef, coral and crabs drifting across the floor. It is actually a betting board. There are no cannons and no reels. You put chips on sea creatures before a timer runs out, and then the game names one.

How the board is laid out

The top row is split in two halves. The left half is shellfish: a turtle at X24, a lobster-like creature at X12, a red crab at X8, a smaller crab at X4 and a SHELL box at X1.95. The bottom row mirrors it for fish, from an anglerfish at X24 down to clownfish at X4 and a FISH box at X1.95.

Between them sit three sharks: grey at X24, gold at X32 and a pink one at X66. Each box shows 0.00 until you put something on it.

At the top left is a countdown (28 in the first capture), and beside it a line of round icons showing recent results. A yellow line near the bottom reads "Minimum Bet 0.05 M GP For Each Column".

Placing a bet

UNIT sets the chip value (1.00 here). You tap a box to add a chip, CLEAR removes everything and CONFIRM locks it in. In the screenshot above one unit sits on the purple X12 fish and TOTAL PLAY reads 1.00 with seven seconds left.

The reveal

When the timer hits zero the boxes slide to the edges and creatures swim across the open floor.

In this round the game picked an ammonite. Two boxes are outlined in red: the X12 shellfish box and the SHELL group box. So a single creature can pay two ways, the specific box and the group, if you covered both.

Who it suits

People who like the Hoo Hey How style of simple picks may find this easy to follow; Hulu Cock on Joker123 is the closest relative here. The group boxes at X1.95 lose often too, and the X66 shark is on the board for a reason.
