Release the Kraken Slots

Pragmatic Play slots are among our favorites and Release the Kraken certainly did not disappoint. Underwater plants help to set the tone of the game, and there is a superb color palette in use too. Let’s see whether we might spot the Kraken as we play…

Reels and paylines for Release the Kraken

There are five reels in action, each showing four icons. The game controls confirm we have 20 lines in play.

Lots of betting options as usual

You can play up to 10 coins on each of those lines, with coins worth from a penny to 50 cents each. This is the usual range on offer from this developer, providing bets from 20 cents to $100 per play.

Look for the bubbly wild…

Yes, a series of bubbles labeled as a wild symbol can replace the regular symbols in the game. The wild can appear anywhere, but it will not replace the bonus, free spins, or chest bonus symbols. Those are all labeled as such, so you can see what you’ve found.

How to trigger the bonuses in Release the Kraken

You need the regular bonus icon to land on the first and third reels, along with either the free spins or the chest bonus icon on the fifth reel. This determines which of the two bonuses you will play.

The chest bonus reveals three treasure chests, and you can pick one to reveal your Sunken Treasure bonus – a coin prize. You can pick another too if you don’t reveal the collect message.

If you get the free spins trigger instead, you will play the Roaming Kraken Free Spins. You can pick from some treasure chests here too, but this time you will reveal free spin quantities. The most you can get is 12 freebies. You will play on 40 lines, with wild appearances raising the base 1x multiplier by 1x for each relevant spin. The maximum is 10x. Every wild that appears will stay in view, although the positions will change on each spin.

Finally, any base game spin can randomly produce a wild feature – there are Kraken locking wilds, infectious Kraken wilds, and colossal Kraken wilds. As you can tell, each feature may produce extra winning chances by how the wilds appear.
