The Kraken is one of the greatest monsters in Scandinavian lore, and perhaps the mightiest beast ever imagined by humanity. It was said to haunt the seas from Norway to Greenland, sinking vessels with its strong tentacles & ability to create fierce maelstroms. The aftermath of this: unimaginable wealth buried in the depths of the sea.

Kraken’s Lair by Thunderkick, one of the latest adaptations of this legend, sends punters on a mission to retrieve this long lost treasure. The bravest treasure hunter will re-emerge from the depths with valuables worth €777 700!

Rules

Kraken’s Liar opens with a short solemn prologue showing the wreckage of ships under the sea. Its intent, we presume, is to evoke the horror of being inside the den of a blood-thirsty monster. But undeterred, you will poozle everywhere, hell-bent on slaying the Kraken as you check the worth of the valuables you find against the paytable.

Among the items to be found are spears, Viking chains, treasure chests, giant octopuses, & low-paying blackjack icons that boost your balance by up to 500 times your stake. Quite uniquely, the blackjack symbols are girded with Metal plates and fastened with iron rivets on the ends to represent the signage from the 3^rd century Viking ships dragged into the sea by the creature.

Unlocking the game’s max potential

If you are eyeing the top prize, you will have to hunt down the gold-coated Kraken emblems, which act as both substituting wilds and scatters. Acting as the latter, they can generate scatter wins, as well as paytable bet line wins of up to 200X & 500X respectively. What’s more, they come with 2 special powers that see you unlock the game’s full potential.

First, they trigger the Expanding Wins feature whenever they are present on a winning bet line. Expansion occurs once for each of the winning symbols, leading to a progression of extra wins.

Secondly, 3 or more appearances of the Kraken emblem anywhere on the screen activate a 10 free spins session. Here, you get a Kraken emblem on every spin, and the fact that the session can be retriggered virtually endlessly is even more exhilarating!

A Kraken title, which is worth a spin!

Kraken’s Liar lives up to its title by serving up some grand sightings while not overdoing it on the visual front. In other words, the animations are not that breathtaking but they smoothly get the job done.

The game doesn’t go overboard with the bonus elements either, but it does present something unique with the hybrid Kraken emblems, which are the keys to the top prize. Having said that, the game’s max potential is not so magical at €777700, but with the simplicity of this slot’s mechanisms, it shouldn’t be hard to own.
