Pragmatic Play Release A Sea Beast of Myth & Legend onto the Reels of a New Video Slot

Mythic beasts and cerates come in all different shapes and sizes but the one that has me on the edge of my seat is the kraken. It’s said that the Marana Trench in the western Pacific Ocean is the deepest known point in earth’s oceans and this leads to deep-sea gigantism; the process where species grow larger than their shallow water relatives.

The giant pacific octopus is considered the largest octopus’ species in the world and the largest recorded weighed an impressive 600lbs and measured a whopping 30ft across and in length! Now, that may sound huge, but think of the kraken the deep-sea beast with razor sharp teeth this ship-eating predator was known to have reached 60ft in length!

Some statistics even suggest they could’ve been as long as 10 great big ships! I’ve never liked the ocean for this very reason. I’ve seen too many movies where ships are devoured like marshmallows on a kebab stick.

Pragmatic Play however, decided the kraken would be perfect for an online slot and got to work developing their Release the Kraken title. The new feature-rich slot boasts a 5-reel, 20 win line engine with randomly triggered modifiers, roaming wilds, bonus spins and wins of up to 10,000x your stake.

The graphic-rich creation is set in the depths of the ocean where players are pitted in a battle against the terrifying creature. 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.”
