Sometimes Pragmatic Play stick to common features and themes and so their slots don’t always stand out, but Kraken’s Sky Bounty slot tries something a bit different, so let’s see if it pays off. They’ve gone for a pirate theme here with flying ships which looks nice and colourful. There’s a large grid to play on with 6 reels and 6 rows, giving you 50 pay lines. In order to get things going, just spin the reels and try to get a winning combination from left to right along any of these pay lines using the base symbols. These are as follows, ranked in ascending order based on their value:
- Pink, Blue, Green or Orange Jewel
- Amber, Red or Purple Jewel
- Rum
- Wheel
- Cannon
- Swords
Kraken’s Sky Bounty Slot Bonuses and Features
Wild Symbol. There’s a standard wild symbol too, shown as an octopus, that substitutes for all other symbols in a winning combination apart from the bonus symbol, and it can appear on all reels.
Random Expanding Wild Feature. At any point during the base game, a giant mark of size 2z2, 3×3, 4×4, 5×5 or even 6×6 can appear on random positions. Any wild symbols that land in the mark will expand to be the same size as the whole mark. If more than one land inside the mark, once expanded the new wild symbol has a multiplier equal to the number of wilds that mark filled, applying to all wins it’s part of.
Free Spins Bonus. This is triggered when you land 3 or more bonus symbols. You get 6 free spins to work with, and during these, a square mark is present on the screen on every spin, moving to a different position for each spin. It starts as size 2×2, but each bonus symbol that lands is collected and each 3rd bonus symbol retriggers the bonus with 2 extra free spins and increasing the mark, all the way up to a maximum of 6×6. If you trigger the bonus initially with more than 3 bonus symbols, the extra bonus symbol counts as one that’s already been collected.
Bonus Buy. Outside the U.K., you can buy the free spins bonus for 100x your stake, giving you anywhere from 3 to 6 bonus symbols to start off with.
Conclusion
Kraken’s Sky Bounty slot from Pragmatic Play is a colourful game with some really interesting features. The base game offers marks at random that can lead to quite a few wilds and even multiplier wilds if you land enough in a mark. The free spins bonus expands on this concept, offering marks that can increase as the bonus goes on if you collect enough bonus symbols. It can be hard to get enough to get large marks, making it more likely to get extra wilds and multipliers, but I like to idea and it’s pretty fun to play. I think many people will enjoy this slot also.
