Kraken Conquest

Kraken… 

A truly terrifying beast sending chills down the spines of many sailors across the globe…

Now you can go head to head with the creature in order to save the world! Don’t worry, even if something goes wrong you will be fine!

Kraken Conquest by Leander Games features a standard 5x3 grid layout with 25 fixed pay lines.

The graphics in general are done rather well and will provide you with a pleasant visual experience.

Of course, there is more to this one-armed bandit than that…

…special features, and quite a few of them to be fair: Wild symbol, Lightning Strikes, Kraken Slap, Kraken Cash Meter Feature, Bonus Boost, Kraken Cash Pick Me Bonus and Oculator Free Spin Bonus are yours for the taking!

Theme

As soon as you start up this one-armed bandit, you will find yourself somewhere on the seas, where the high waves are throwing your boat left and right.

The sound effects also make this look quite realistic, as they captured the thunderstorm effects really well!

Across the reels you will also come in touch with about a dozen different symbols, all fitting the theme nicely. Higher paying symbols are diver, green jewel, sunken treasure chest and a ship steering wheel, while the lower paying ones come in the shape of the usual card symbols.

Betting Options and Other Functions

When it comes down to betting options, this title offers a decent choice. The minimum bet you can set is 0.50 coins, with the maximum going to 500 coins. This basically means you will find a choice whether you are a low roller or an experienced, seasoned veteran.

As for the potential payouts, you shouldn’t be disappointed in that regard either. With the RTP (theoretical return to player) of 95.96%, which is about average these days, if not a bit higher than that and tons of special features, you can hit those larger wins.

Special Features

• Wild symbol – Wild symbol acts as a substitute for any other symbols besides Free Spins and the Multiplier Tentacle. It is also the highest paying symbol in the game.

• Lightning Strikes – You can expect the lightning to strike at every spin you take, instantly rewarding you with a prize. If you get a winning line regardless of this feature, the prizes will be added.

• Kraken Slap – You can also expect the Kraken to slap a reel at every spin, converting all symbols on the said reel to Wild symbols. A Wild column will be added before paying any win, increasing your win overall. This feature can also happen during the base spins, as well as the Free Spins.

• Kraken Cash Meter Feature – Each time a Multiplier Tentacle appears on the reels (it can’t appear on the first reel) it’s multiplier is added to the Kraken Cash Meter where it will wait until you trigger the Kraken Cash Pick Me Bonus There are also 3 different multipliers you can get: x2, x4 and x8.

• Bonus Boost – Getting the so-called near misses – 2 out of 3 free spin symbols on reels 1 and 3 will fill the boost meter a bit. Once the meter is full the free spin symbol is added to the 5^th reel and the Free Spin Bonus will automatically trigger. The meter resets at the end of the free spins or when you change the bet. Segments collected will remain until you activate the feature for that bet.

• Kraken Cash Pick Me Bonus – Getting 8 multipliers during Kraken Cash Meter Feature will trigger this feature. After that you will dive deep and face the Kraken itself. During your dive you will collect cash prizes. There are 8 levels in this feature where you can select items and collect cash prizes that are multiplied by the current tentacle, but extra lives and level ups as well. You should be careful though as the item you select can also force the Kraken to attack you, which will result in you losing life. First 7 levels offer 4 items, cash prize, Kraken attack, Extra life or the Kraken itself. Should you manage to defeat the Kraken, you will be rewarded with a prize that is 188 times your bet, not affected by multipliers.

• Oculator Free Spin Bonus – Getting 3 Free spins symbols will trigger this feature. You are then granted 8 free spins with a x2 multiplier to start things with. Every time you get 2 free spin symbols, your multiplier will increase by one, up to x8. Should you get 3 of these symbols, you will get additional 8 free spins, which can go on for as long as you keep getting them.
