Release the Kraken — slot review and demo

Ocean theme and treasure hunt in Release the Kraken

The slot invites you to explore the ocean depths and claim treasure from right under the kraken's nose. The 4×5 grid with 20 paylines unfolds against an underwater backdrop, and the title references the legend of the sea monster. Provider Pragmatic Play has built the atmosphere around themes of exploration and mythology.

Bonus features: free spins with multipliers and roaming wilds

The mechanics include random features that can trigger on any base-game spin. The main bonus round is free spins with progressive multipliers and roaming wilds. Multipliers grow throughout the bonus series, while wilds move across the reels, increasing the chances of winning combinations. You can study the specific trigger conditions and payout table in the paytable inside the slot.

96.5% RTP and bet range

RTP is 96.5% — this is the provider's stated value for the standard version; the parameter may differ at a particular casino, so check the information in the paytable. Minimum bet is 0.01, maximum is 0.5. The provider does not explicitly state volatility, but the presence of progressive multipliers in bonuses usually signals a medium-high risk level. Other games by the studio are available in the Pragmatic Play slots catalogue.
