Release The Kraken Slot Game | Pragmatic Play Slots

Release the Kraken is a Norse mythology-themed slot from the respected Pragmatic Play studio. It takes players on a journey into the depths of the ocean, where there’s treasure to uncover but also a Kraken to avoid.

The game has five reels and twenty paylines as standard, but it’s interesting to see that for the free spins feature, which we will talk about in the next section, there will be forty active paylines. It’s advantageous and will help raise the winning potential.

Players can get the reels turning in this well-designed and well-themed slot from 0.20, with a large max bet of 100.00 available. The RTP comes in at a healthy 96.50%, which is great for those who are hunting the 10,000x the stake top prize.

As always, with a Pragmatic Play slot release, the game looks the part and is eye-catching, especially the backdrop of the ocean floor. It’s also enjoyable in all its glory on most smartphones, tablets and desktop devices too. And, if all that wasn’t enough, there are plenty of features and modifiers to get stuck into. Even the most demanding of gamers won’t find this slot lacking on the bonus round front.

Game Features

There are five bonus features of sorts to explore in Release the Kraken, and some will spring to life at random, while others will need to be triggered by specific conditions being met. Either way, having a handful of bonus rounds available is definitely a good thing and something that will draw players to this game.

We will start by detailing the random spin features, which, as the name suggests, can come into play entirely at random. When this feature triggers, players will select one of three tentacles, and they will then play one of the following:

• Kraken Lockin Wilds – The Kraken wild substitutes for other regular symbols on the reels. During this mode, chests will present more Locked Wild icons, an increased number of spins or a multiplier worth 2x.
• Colossal Kraken Wilds – The Colossal Kraken wild substitutes for other regular symbols. It appears 4×3 in size and can take over three reels for a single spin.
• Infectious Kraken Wilds – Guaranteed to appear, this wild replaces other icons and turns adjacent symbols wild.

Players who land bonus symbols on reels 1 and 3 and a chest icon on reel 5 will trigger the Sunken Treasure bonus round. They will select from three chests to reveal a cash prize during the feature.

To get the free spins feature up and running, bonus icons on reels 1 and 3 and a free spins symbol is required on reel 5. Selecting from the chests presented will determine how many spins a player will have to use. The action unfolds on a reel set with forty paylines, and multipliers will also come into play.
