Play Jaws of Justice in New Zealand

Jaws of Justice turns a conventional 14-line pokie layout into a chain of directional Laser effects. Released by Hacksaw Gaming on 11 December 2025, the game runs on five reels and four rows, with bottom-row sharks firing through paying symbols and Force Fields sending selected beams back across the grid.

Jaws of Justice Game Overview

Jaws of Justice forms wins from matching symbols on 14 fixed paylines, read from the leftmost reel. The sci-fi symbol set mixes card ranks with armoured sharks, dinosaurs, tigers, crocodiles and rhinos, supported by substituting Wilds.

Jaws of Justice adds its main event after the reels settle, when any Laser Sharks activate from the fourth row. Beams can produce multiplier Wilds and reflected paths, but every symbol and direction is randomly generated rather than affected by how the player times or sizes a spin.

How Does Jaws of Justice Work?

Jaws of Justice takes the chosen stake, spins all five reels and evaluates its fixed paylines once the symbols stop. Laser Sharks on the lowest row then shoot either upward, diagonally left or diagonally right, provided the selected route has room to continue.

Jaws of Justice converts eligible symbols along each beam before adding together multiplier Wilds that share a winning line. The animation shows how the total is assembled, but it does not give the player a way to select the Laser route or alter the underlying random result.

Jaws of Justice Laser Sharks

Jaws of Justice restricts Laser Shark symbols to the bottom row of the 5x4 grid. An activated shark changes normal paying symbols in its path into Wilds and then becomes a Wild itself after the shot is complete.

Jaws of Justice can assign up to a 200x multiplier to an individual Wild, with qualifying Wild multipliers combined additively on the same payline. A shark landing creates an opportunity for extra substitutions, not a guarantee that the affected spaces will connect into a paying combination.

Jaws of Justice Force Fields

Jaws of Justice surrounds three sides of the grid with Force Fields: left, top and right. Lasers that hit a barrier can ricochet at the same angle, continuing through further symbols instead of ending at the edge.

Jaws of Justice uses a straight-on impact to send a beam back over its earlier route, where existing Wilds may collect added multiplier values. A reflected beam can make a spin more complex, but its presence does not mean the resulting line win will be large.

Jaws of Justice Free Spins

Jaws of Justice awards 10 Killer Cosmos spins when 3 FS scatters land and raises the chance of Laser Sharks during the round. Four scatters supply 10 Chompocalypse spins with two Laser directions per shark, while 5 scatters trigger 10 Nuclear Nebula spins and guarantee at least one Laser Shark on each spin.

Jaws of Justice adds 2 spins for 2 scatters or 4 spins for 3 scatters inside Killer Cosmos and Chompocalypse. Nuclear Nebula removes scatters from its reels, preventing a retrigger, and no sequence in one feature can make another bonus compulsory.

Jaws of Justice RTP

Jaws of Justice uses a 94.27% RTP as listed by Wildz for the MGA version associated with this page. This theoretical return is measured over a long series of rounds and should not be interpreted as a target for one session of pokies play.

Jaws of Justice is published in multiple RTP configurations across the wider market, so the in-game figure should always be confirmed before staking. A short run can return substantially more or less than 94.27%, with high volatility increasing that variation.

Jaws of Justice Volatility

Jaws of Justice is classified by Wildz as high volatility, 7/10. Lower-value line wins may be separated by stretches without a notable result, while uncommon Laser chains and Free Spins combinations contribute to the larger possible returns.

Jaws of Justice does not become less volatile when played for free or on a different screen. Personal deposit, loss and time controls can limit the amount exposed to this payout pattern, but they cannot change the symbol generator.

Jaws of Justice Maximum Win

Jaws of Justice caps a completed result at 10,000x the wager. The fixed paylines, multiplier Wilds and bonus mechanics can combine toward that amount when the required random symbols and beam paths occur.

Jaws of Justice is not a progressive-jackpot pokie, so the maximum does not rise as other people play. Neither waiting after a loss nor repeatedly entering a Free Spins mode increases the mathematical chance that the cap will be reached.

How to Play Jaws of Justice in New Zealand

Jaws of Justice should be opened by reviewing the rules, the displayed RTP and the total stake before pressing spin. The game then completes line evaluation and every Laser, Force Field and multiplier action automatically before crediting any win.

Jaws of Justice includes paid feature entries where permitted, with Killer Cosmos priced at 100x the bet and Chompocalypse at 250x. Those costs can use a session budget quickly and provide access rather than a guaranteed return, so they should be included in any pre-set spending limit.

Can You Play Jaws of Justice on Mobile?

Yes, Jaws of Justice is designed for compatible mobile phones and tablets as well as desktop browsers. Its portrait-friendly presentation keeps the five reels, fourth-row Laser Sharks and bonus indicators visible on smaller screens.

Jaws of Justice mobile pokies use the same core rules as the corresponding desktop configuration. A touchscreen changes the control layout only, while access and payment options depend on the operator, location, browser and device.

Can You Play Jaws of Justice for Free?

Yes, Jaws of Justice offers demo play at Wildz with virtual credits. Free mode can be used to follow the 14 paylines, view beam reflections and compare the three bonus formats without generating a cash prize.

Jaws of Justice demo rounds use random results and cannot establish what a later deposit session will produce. Virtual winnings cannot be withdrawn, and users should still check the operator’s age, account and location requirements.
