The most anticipated game of January is live as Pragmatic Play officially launches a new feature-packed video slot Release the Kraken. The game is available with online casino operators only days prior to ICE London, the industry’s largest B2B gaming event.
Leading content provider is promising hours of fun at stand N8-120 where visitors will be able to take a look at the 4x5 graphic-rich title, set in the depths of the ocean. To trigger huge wins, players will have to encounter the legendary horrifying creature, whose roots are found in Scandinavian folklore.
There is a multitude of special features onboard, including Roaming Kraken Spins, Colossal Kraken Wilds and Kraken Locking Wilds, resulting in a swarm of winning combos, thrill rides and adrenaline rush moments.
Release the Kraken represents the studio’s fourth and final release in January 2020, following recent partnership announcements and other slots, Buffalo King, Magic Journey and Money Mouse. The game can trigger a sum of multipliers during bonus round and bring up 10 items among which are complimentary spins as well.
There is also the Kraken modifier with “Infectious Kraken Wilds” and other variants involved, extending the excitement levels and lifting gameplay quality, whose configuration varies from 20 to 40 paylines during base game and extra spins.
Chief commercial officer at Pragmatic Play, Melissa Summerfield, said about the game:
Melissa Summerfield, Chief Commercial Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “Release the Kraken is the fourth game we’ve launched this month, representing yet another precious addition to the Pragmatic Play slot portfolio. With its immersive setting, thrilling gameplay and giant win potential, we are sure players will be battling the fearsome Kraken in search of its treasure.”
The latest action-packed slot Release the Kraken will soon be accompanied by Super 7s and Master Joker, first two games by Pragmatic Play scheduled for launch on February 6th and 13th.
