- A gorgeous pirate-themed game with cluster pays
- Expand wilds up to 5×5 in size
- Free spins bonus offers persistent wilds and multipliers
Kraken’s Cove is a fun and often rewarding slot, even in the base game sometimes, that promises lots of wilds and sometimes some big multipliers too. It’s all packaged nicely in a gorgeous pirate theme that offers a large 7×7 grid which, unsurprisingly, uses cluster pays instead of the traditional paylines. That means that in order to get a win, you need a cluster of 5 or more matching symbols, or you can activate a feature which we’ll discuss now.
Kraken’s Cove Slot Bonuses and Features
Ship Wild Feature. A Ship Wild symbol is present on every spin, moving one step closer to the central hot spot with each winning cluster. On reaching the hot spot, it expands into a Wild symbol ranging from 2×2 to 5×5 in size, depending on the number of coins collected. The Ship Wild’s multiplier increases by one each time it participates in a winning cluster.
Treasure Chest Wilds. These special symbols can appear during the base game, collecting coins that contribute to the Ship Wild’s expansion potential when it reaches the hot spot. For every five coins collected, the Ship Wild’s potential expansion increases incrementally from 2×2 up to 5×5.
Free Spins Feature. Triggered by landing three Scatter symbols, awarding five free spins. During this feature, the Ship Wild’s multiplier and expansion levels persist between spins. You have the option to gamble your free spins before the feature begins, with the possibility of starting with up to 25 spins and a Ship Wild multiplier of a whopping 50x.
Conclusion
Kraken’s Cove slot from Relax Gaming is another beautifully-designed game from the developer with a real focus on wild symbols. The wild chests contains coins which are collected, and these in turn increase the size of ship wilds when they reach the hot spot. A ship wild is also present on the screen which is a nice touch, and can expand up to 5×5 in size, also having a multiplier that increases when it’s part of a win. In the free spins bonus the wilds expansion and multiplier are persistent so bigger wins here are much more likely. You only get 5 free spins normally, but there’s an option to gamble for more or increase its starting multiplier up to a massive 50x, and unlike some gambles you only return to the lower level if you lose (or base game if there are no other lower levels). I have to say I think this type of feature, although found is some other slots, has been really well implemented here, and the 10,000x max win potential is more than suitable.
