Release the Kraken Theme/Symbols
The Release the Kraken slot has a Norse mythology theme and is based on the giant squid that lived off the coasts of Norway and Greenland – the kraken terrorised sailors. Set deep in the ocean, you’ll see low value A, K, Q and J royals on the reels as well as a selection of colourful fish, turtles and sharks.
Then you have Release the Kraken anchor symbol which is the most valuable symbol – 3, 4 or 5 in combination will give you 2.5, 10 or 25 times your stake. Winning combinations are formed by getting 3 or more matching symbols from left to right on adjacent reels – starting from reel 1.
There is also a wild symbol which substitutes for all symbols except the bonus, free spins and chest bonus symbols – appearing on all 5 reels, it pays 2.5, 10 or 25 times your stake for 3, 4 or 5 across a payline.
