Kraken’s Hunger Slot Review

Krakens🐙 are real! They just named it something slightly less terrifying, so people still think the ocean is magical🌊. Scientists call them colossal squids, and they’re all over the bottom of our oceans.

I actually saw one washed up on a beach🏖️ in South Africa. And they're huge😨! Almost 3 meters long and so ugly, it makes sense they live in the deep dark🌑. Even the food they eat is from a horror movie. A pitch black demon called a toothfish!

I may live by the ocean and enjoy the view, but there is no chance in hell I am swimming in what contains the beasts from sailors' nightmares. Forget it! The closest I'm getting to a living monster is in BGAMING's Kraken's Hunger slot.

Gameplay

You can choose the reel height in Kraken’s Hunger slot from 3, 4, or 5 rows, which changes the number of winning ways from 5, 10, or 20 paylines, respectively. Increasing the reel size also increases your bet by 2x for 5x4 and 4x for 5x5 reels.

The high-paying symbols include a ghost pirate, a treasure chest, a telescope, and a broken steering wheel. The Wild is a kraken, and it can substitute for all the pay symbols except the Bonus and Prize symbols.

Bonus symbols are compasses, which trigger Free Spins when 3 or more land. There are 3 Prize symbols, which are ships, and depending on how many sails are down, the multiplier value changes from either 2x or 3x, 4x or 6x, or 10x or 20x.

When 3 or more Prize symbols land on a payline, their multipliers are applied to your base bet, summed up, and awarded.

You’re welcome to play with any currency you prefer, as long as it’s between $0.05 and $80. The multiplier peaks at 5,000x, and if you’re playing with the maximum bet, you can win a whopping $400,000.

That's a huge prize for a medium-volatility game! And lastly, Kraken's Hunger slot has an RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

Features

FREE SPINS

Landing 3, 4, or 5 Bonus symbols in the base game will grant you 10, 15, or 20 Free Spins, respectively. The size of the reels in the base game carry over to the Free Spins round.

During Free Spin, the Wild symbol collects any Prize symbols on the reels and awards their total regardless of where the Prize and Wild symbols are on the reels. For every 4th Wild that hits, you’re granted 10 additional Free Spins and a highest Win Multiplier.

You can retrigger Free Spins 3 times, with the Win Multiplier going from 1x to 2x, then 3x, and finally 10x. All payline wins and Prize symbol wins are multiplied and awarded.

BUY BONUS

The Buy Bonus ensures that three or more Bonus symbols will land on the next base game spin, triggering Free Spins for 120x your bet.

ANTE BET

For an additional 0.40x your bet, you can double your chances of triggering Free Spins naturally.

Performance

You can play this game on any device; I tested it on my gaming laptop and Android phone.

Maximum Win

You can bet from $0.05 to $80. The biggest win you get here is $400,000, which is only possible if you hit the top 5,000x while betting the top bet.

Conclusion

I’ve seen a number of games with locked rows that you somehow unlock in the base game, but never a game where you can increase your bet and unlock rows quite like Kraken’s Hunger slot. I am a little torn as to whether I like it or not.

Regardless, the game is still a medium-volatility game where you can win up to $400K, which is not all that common and enough for me to say give it a shot at least.

The Buy Bonus is typically over 100x your bet, which makes it way too expensive for a lot of players. So, the Ante BetAn Ante Bet is an option that costs a percentage of your bet but increases your chances of landing triggering symbols that initiate a feature. is a great, cheaper option to increase your chances of getting into the money-making Free Spins.

The Free Spins rounds are impressive. The Wild becomes a Collector symbol, and landing 4 Wilds awards 10 additional Free Spins with a higher Win Multiplier. And if you collect 16 Wilds, you get 10 free spins plus a 10x win multiplier.

This is an awesome little game with some really fun features and great design that’ll get your heart going when they start working out for you.

The less volatile the game, the more often it should pay out, but the lower the amount, the less the payout, as this is in keeping with the risk you’re taking. Volatility rate should be considered in conjunction with a game’s RTP.
