Kraken Gold Rush Demo (PG Soft) Slot Demo & Review

Game Overview

With such a small percentage of the oceans explored, it does make you wonder what could be lurking in the depths. I mean, have you seen the size of some of the squid that have been captured on video? Now that’s scary stuff. Ok, so whilst at this point the legend of the Kraken is pure myth, it hasn’t stopped storytellers, filmmakers and even online slot providers from telling its tale, and today we’re back with another one in the form of the PG Soft slot Kraken Gold Rush, a 6-reel game with cluster pays, multipliers, and a maximum win of 5,000x.

Theme & Design

Chasing the Kraken for its gold can only mean one thing, and that’s taking to the ocean, which in the case of sea monsters always seems to be rough, doesn’t it? I’d certainly be a sailor who was hoping for a sunny day with calm waters if I was in pursuit of a huge creature, but alas, that isn’t the case, and when Kraken Gold Rush hits your screen, you’ll find yourself aboard a worthy sea vessel taking the game on in a horizontal view, a display PG Soft are now famous for.

We’ll soon be taking a more detailed look at the in-game features of Kraken Gold Rush, but before we do, I’m going to give you a few other slots from the studio to try out. Now, whilst the likes of today’s game have more modern-style mechanics, PG initially found its popularity through simple 3-reel games, so if you want to see what all those are about, head on over to our Fortune Rabbit demo, Fortune Tiger demo, and Fortune Ox demo game slots, all classic releases from the developer, which continue to remain popular.

Kraken Gold Rush Gameplay & Features

PG Soft’s Kraken Gold Rush is a 6-reel, 5-row online slot operating on the cluster pays engine with a high RTP of 96.75%. Players can choose from a number of standard betting options on the game, ranging from a minimum of €0.20 a spin up to a maximum of €100.

Onto the gameplay next, and when you start the reels spinning, you’ll notice a fixed kraken wild in the centre of the reels, which can help you to create winning combos. If you connect a minimum of 4 symbols anywhere within the playfield, a win will be achieved, activating the cascading reels engine, which removes all winning symbols from the reels and replaces them with new ones for more chances to create new connections. Additionally, if you manage to hit a minimum of 3 cascades, the kraken will turn into a 5x multiplier, which is then applied to your total winnings accrued from that series of spins/cascades.

Last of all, we come to the main bonus, where 10 free spins are awarded for landing 3 scatters in view, with each additional scatter adding 2 more spins to your starting total. During this round, a wheel multiplier comes into play, starting with a value of 5x. If you hit three successful cascades, it will increase to the next value, up to a max of 100x, and at the end of each spin, your winnings will be multiplied by the value on the wheel.
