Avoid the Perils of a Pirate’s Life in Kraken’s Cove Slot
Pirates get a bad rap for being the swaggering, rum-chugging rogues of the high seas, but let’s be real—life on a creaky wooden deathtrap wasn’t exactly a Disney ride. The movies never show you the scurvy-induced teeth roulette or the joys of sharing a bucket as both a toilet and a soup pot. And while Captain Jack Sparrow is out there sashaying like he’s on a fashion runway, real pirates were probably more concerned about not catching dysentery from their own boots. Forget treasure chests; the real loot was a dry pair of socks and a day without explosive diarrhea.
Then, there are the sea monsters. The Kraken’s Cove slot from Relax Gaming is all about the perils of sea monsters.
All aboard the HMS Doomed
Relax Gaming’s Kraken’s Cove slot allows bets ranging from $0.10 to $25 per spin. With its 10,000x max multiplier, players have the chance to reel in up to $250,000 in winnings. The game employs a Cluster Pays system, offering dynamic payouts for grouped symbols rather than traditional paylines. Featuring medium volatility, it strikes a balance between steady wins and occasional large payouts. The Kraken’s Cove slot offers an RTP of 96.1%.
The Ship Wild is a dynamic element of Kraken’s Cove. It shifts one position closer to a designated hotspot at the centre of the reels each time a cluster win occurs. Upon reaching the hotspot, the Ship Wild expands to a size ranging from 2×2 to 5×5 symbols. Additionally, the Ship Wild features a multiplier that increases by +1 for every win it facilitates, enhancing potential payouts.
The free spins feature in Kraken’s Cove is initiated by collecting Scatter symbols during a single spin sequence. These Scatters can accumulate across successive tumbles. During the free spins, Standard Wilds, the expanding Ship Wild, and its growing multiplier remain active, with the multiplier continuing to rise by +1 for each cluster win it supports.
Players have access to Feature Buy options to unlock these bonus rounds directly. A standard Free Spins feature can be purchased for 50x the bet amount. Alternatively, the Upgraded Free Spins feature is available for 250x the bet, offering the potential to start with additional spins and a higher initial multiplier.
Is Kraken’s Cove slot as fresh as week-old fish?
Let’s be honest: the Kraken’s Cove slot isn’t exactly rewriting the slot game rulebook. Between the tumbling wins, the expanding wilds, and the free spins with multipliers, it feels like we’ve sailed these murky waters before. Games like Beat the Beast: Kraken’s Lair and Kraken’s Hunger (also lurking in the depths of BitStarz) offer a similar tentacle-tastic vibe, so originality isn’t this slot’s strongest suit.
That said, it’s not all doom and gloom under the sea. The gameplay is polished, the mechanics work well, and the visuals are solid enough to make you forget for a second that you’ve seen this Kraken at least five times before. Think of it as the slot world’s version of your favourite pub—comfortably predictable, with just enough flair to keep you coming back for more. I give Kraken’s Cove an eight out of ten.
