Kronos Unleashed (SG Gaming) Slot Demo & Review

Imagine killing your father to overthrow him from power before then eating your own children to prevent the same thing from happening to you. That’s what Kronos did according to Greek mythology, but fortunately, his wife managed to trick him into eating a stone wrapped in cloth instead of one of his children, a certain Zeus who, once grown up, did overthrow Kronos while forcing him to regurgitate his siblings. I’m not sure it’s the smartest idea, but Light & Wonder wants the dude unleashed, well, at least as a slot in the developer’s latest release, Kronos Unleashed. You can expect a 95.86% RTP, five reels, eight rows, and 60 paylines as standard, although that can increase to 5×12 and 100 during a re-spins bonus game.

That re-spins bonus is one of two main features, and it allows you to collect Kronos symbols, which pay both ways and trigger special modifiers and features. One can increase the number of rows of the slot, and another will trigger spins on a jackpot game that could award one of five fixed jackpots, the biggest of which awards 5,000x the stake. The other bonus game is a standard free spins bonus, although you could receive up to 75 free spins in total.

With such a weird and whacky backstory, there are not too many slots themed on Kronos; maybe it’s the whole eating your children thing that puts developers off. That said, he does feature in broader Greek mythology-themed slots such as iSoftBets’s Olympus Raging Megaways, a slot with up to a staggering 238,298 ways to win, and in slots in Playtech’s huge Age of the Gods progressive jackpot series. So, go check them out if today’s review puts you in the mood to do battle with the gods.

Next is a look at the pays section on the Kronos Unleashed slot, and at the top of the paytable, we find that a full line of Kronos symbols pays 1.25x the stake. Pegasus and the Nemean Lion come next, and both pay up to 0.75x, while the Throne and Jewelry symbols return 0.60x. The Ace, King, Queen, and Jack represent the lower-paying symbols sharing a 0.5x max payout.

Entering into some real-money play on Kronos Unleashed can cost a minimum of €0.20 a spin, while the maximum stake reaches up to €50.00. The big staking range on offer here should give punters plenty of choice regardless of their playing budget.

Kronos Unleashed features a 5×8 reel configuration with 60 paylines. However, during one of the bonus games, that matrix can be increased to 5×12 with 100 pay lines.


Golden Kronos symbol

A special Golden Kronos symbol can land on the reels, and when it does, it can pay both ways. All other symbols will only pay from left to right, but this symbol will also pay from right to left.


Kronos Unleashed slot bonus features

Kronos Unleashed slot bonus feature

There are two bonus games on Kronos Unleashed, and if you’re wondering what these are, don’t worry; I’ll explain what they offer in detail below.


Free spins feature

The Kronos Unleashed slot uses a boxing mechanic to determine how many free spins you receive. Essentially, how many scatters there are in a group will determine the total you receive. For boxes with 3 scatters, you’ll receive 1 free spin for each of the scatters. For boxes containing 4, you’ll receive 2 free spins for each, while boxes of 5 give you 5 spins for each scatter. Ultimately, you could trigger up to 75 free spins. When triggered, you instantly win 5x the stake, and during the bonus, you stand a greater chance of triggering the below Lightning Re-Spins bonus.


Lightning respins bonus game

The Lightning Re-Spins bonus is the better of the two bonus games, which triggers when six or more Kronos symbols land on the first reel. Before the bonus starts, the first reel becomes a full reel of Kronos symbols that remain in place for the duration. You receive 3 re-spins of reel that will reveal blanks, Kronos symbols, or power-ups. Each time a non-blank symbol lands, you receive an additional re-spin. Whenever the Power-Ups land, they’ll transform into one of the following symbols:

  • Diagonal Arrows Symbol: Kronos symbols will appear in open positions all around this symbol when it appears.
  • Lightning Symbol: This triggers the jackpot Bonus at the end of the current spin. For each of these symbols, you’ll receive 1 spin of two jackpot reels that are guaranteed to each reward one of the Mini (10x), Minor (30x), Major (100x), Mega (500x), and Kronos (5,000x) fixed jackpots.
  • Up Arrow Symbol: Each instance of this symbol adds another reel at the bottom of the reels full of Kronos symbols. During this feature, the reels can be increased up to 12 high.
  • Plus Symbol: This boosts the payouts of the Kronos symbols on the reels.

The game continues until you run out of re-spins, at which point the total win is calculated and paid.


Pros

  • Two fun bonus games, both of which can pay.
  • A classic slot that can be found in arcades and bookies around the UK.

Cons

  • The lack of modern features could be a turn-off for some players.

Kronos Unleashed slot review final thoughts

I’ve reviewed several Light & Wonder slots recently; some have been good, and others, well, not so great, but this has to be one of the best of them by far.

There are two bonus games, one offering up to 75 free spins and another that could see you enjoy re-spins on a 5x12 grid matrix, a pays-both-ways symbol, and five fixed jackpots.
