Release the Kraken is a Pragmatic Play slot with 5 reels and 20 to 40 paylines. Playable from 20p to £100 a spin on desktop, mobile and tablet devices, this Norse mythology themed game comes with 3 random features in the base game that will reward you with spins with extra wilds and a 2x multiplier, a 3 reel Colossal Kraken wild and an infection Kraken wild that turns other symbols wild.
The Release the Kraken slots game plays out over five reels, each holding four symbols. 20 paylines cross from port to starboard. Behind the reels, colourful corals wave to and fro in the gentle current, as animated bubbles rise from the seabed.
An orchestral soundtrack plays as the reels spin, and you have the option to listen to this, the mechanical slot machine sound effects, or both at the same time.
The actual symbols include basic playing card icons, which don’t match the overall style. Fish, the turtle, and a grinning shark are far more appealing. The Kraken itself is a slightly scarier creature with glowing eyes, sharp teeth, and an exposed purple brain.
Then you have Release the Kraken anchor symbol which is the most valuable symbol – 3, 4 or 5 in combination will give you 2.5, 10 or 25 times your stake. Winning combinations are formed by getting 3 or more matching symbols from left to right on adjacent reels – starting from reel 1.
There is also a wild symbol which substitutes for all symbols except the bonus, free spins and chest bonus symbols – appearing on all 5 reels, it pays 2.5, 10 or 25 times your stake for 3, 4 or 5 across a payline.
Random Spin features
In the Release the Kraken base game, you can activate random spin features as 3 tentacles will appear (randomly of course). You choose 1 of the tentacles to play 1 of the 3 following features:
- Kraken Lockin Wilds feature – the Kraken wild symbol substitutes for all normal symbols. Chests appear to randomly give you more locked wild symbols, more spins or a 2x multiplier and collect, more locked wilds and collect or collect. This can lead to plenty of locked wild symbols on the reels for a number of free spins.
- Colossal Kraken Wilds feature – a Colossal Kraken wild symbol appears which replaces all normal symbols. It will be 4x3 in size – if landing fully, it will take over 3 reels for 1 spin.
- Infectious Kraken Wilds feature – the Infectious Kraken wild is guaranteed to appear on the reels. Replacing all standard symbols, it transforms adjacent symbols into wilds.
Sunken Treasure Bonus feature
Then you have the Sunken Treasure Bonus feature which is played when a bonus symbol appears on reels 1 and 3 with the chest bonus symbol landing on reel 5. You then pick from 3 chests to give you a cash prize. You will carry on picking as long as you win a cash bonus. Hitting collect will end the feature.
Roaming Kraken Free Spins feature
Finally, you have the Roaming Kraken Free Spins feature which is activated when a bonus symbol lands on reels 1 and 3 as well as the free spins symbol on reel 5. Like above, you pick chests to reveal prizes until you find a collect item -each pick can give you 1, 2 or 3 free spins.
