Game Overview
If you’re into mythical creatures, particularly those famous for living at the bottom of the ocean, Mascot Gaming’s Reveal the Kraken slot might well appeal. Themed on the Kraken, made famous in books such as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Moby Dick, this octopus-like creature was said to hunt ships and pull them down to the seabed. Fortunately, you’re on dry land, so you are in no danger. However, will Reveal the Kraken prove a scary mistake or a monstrous success? You will have a good idea when you get through my review of this 5-reel, 4-row, and 20-payline slot offering a 95.35% RTP and 4,500x maximum win.
Let’s have a run-through of the features, and in the base game, aside from wild symbols, there’s not a vast amount going on. As with most slots, the ultimate aim is to trigger the main bonus feature, which in this slot game is a cross between a Hold & Win and a free spins bonus. You initially receive 3 spins, which reset each time a new wild symbol lands. The second part of the bonus then kicks in when your respin count reaches zero, and this is where you’re in with a chance of racking up the wins. Other in-game features include a gamble game and a buy bonus option if you can’t wait to trigger the bonus naturally.
Ready to dive into the ocean’s depths, hoping to uncover some lucrative treasures? Well, a certain Kraken is lurking to make that as difficult as possible. Before you play the real money version, enjoy a few spins on the free-to-play Reveal the Kraken demo slot below!
Reveal The Kraken Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
While there have been a few slot releases featuring a Kraken theme, there are far fewer than I expected. Pragmatic Play has the most-known titles in Release the Kraken and Release the Kraken 2. However, whilst I love many slots that Prgamatic has released over the years, those two left me feeling underwhelmed. Others I know about include Play’n Go’s Eye of the Kraken and Playtech’s Kraken Spins, both of which are worthy of a few real money spins if you encounter them during a session.
Okay, that’s enough about other slots themed on this famous fictional sea monster; let’s get back to what Mascot’s Reveal the Kraken slot has up its tentacle sleeves. First, I will dig a bit deeper into the payouts you can expect from the symbol combinations. The Treasure Chest tops the list with a 75x payout for a five of a kind win, with the Ship’s Wheel following worth 25x. The Sword and Anchor come next with a payout of 12.5x and 6.25x, respectively, and the playing card suit symbols wrap up the lower paying section, offering less than exciting payouts of 4.5x for the Hearts, 3.75x for the Clubs, and 2.5x for both the Spades and Diamonds. There is a self-titled wild symbol present in the game, too, which substitutes for the regular-paying symbols when it can complete or enhance a combination.
Whilst you might not find the widest variety of staking options available to play at on Reveal the Kraken, with bets of 0.20, 0.40, 1.00, 2.00, 4.00, 10.00, and 20.00 per spin available, there should still be enough choice for players of all sized budgets to find a stake they are comfortable playing at.
Reveal The Kraken Slot Base Game
Played over a 5×4 reel set, Reveal the Kraken offers players 20 fixed paylines throughout the base game and bonus round. Landing three matching symbols on consecutive reels beginning from the leftmost reel first will award the corresponding win from the paytable.
Risk/gamble Feature
A gamble feature is present in the game and gives you the chance to increase your winnings. After every win, you can use this feature to gamble what you have won in the hope of improving it. You get to risk it all and spin a wheel which could see you lose everything, or on the other hand, award a multiplier that is applied to your win. You can also progress to the inner levels of the wheel, which can deliver up to 1,000x your winnings.
Reveal The Kraken Slot Bonus Features
The entertainment cranks up when you trigger the Reveal the Kraken bonus game via 3 or more scatter symbols landing anywhere in view during the base game. It breaks down into the following two stages:
Bonus Game
You’re given a single spin of the reels to attempt to land wild symbols. Each time a new wild symbol lands on the reels, you receive an additional spin. You continue to spin until the first non-winning spin. This bonus determines how many sticky wild symbols feature on the reels of the Super Bonus Game.
Super Bonus Game
The wild symbols obtained in the above Bonus Game carry over into the Super Bonus Game. You now receive 3 bonus spins with those wilds remaining sticky throughout and the rest of the symbols from the paytable back on the reels. If you created a good wild set-up in the bonus game, you have a good chance of landing some substantial wins in this part of the game.
Bonus Buy
If you want to speed up the process, a buy bonus feature lets you purchase the above bonus game for 56x your current stake. Alternatively, you’re sometimes offered a Special Offer price for the same bonus.
Pros
- Creative bonus feature split across two stages.
- Risk/Buy Bonus features.
Cons
- 95.25% RTP is below average for a slot game.
Reveal The Kraken Slot Review Final Thoughts
Overall, I enjoyed spinning the reels of Reveal the Kraken, and the graphics and overall look and feel of the game are fantastic. The addition of a two-stage bonus is also lots of fun, and overall, this release is definitely an excellent addition to the developer’s portfolio.
