Eye of The Kraken Slot Review

Eye of the Kraken Slot Overview

Eye of the Kraken is a 3x3 video slot from Play'n GO with 8 ways to win, also described as 8 fixed paylines in the source material. I get an underwater Kraken theme, a compact grid, torpedo collection and random wild tentacles. For serious players, the format is simple, but the ceiling is controlled rather than aggressive.

Released for casinos on October 1, this slot runs with a listed RTP around 96.41% to 96.42%, medium volatility and stakes from 0.20 to 100. The max win is 2,106x. That is respectable for a small-grid game, but I would not bring a serious high-roller bankroll here expecting modern top-end potential.

Paylines and Symbols

Symbols pay for three matching icons across the eight fixed paylines, but the grid has extra payout patterns as well. Matching symbols in all four corners can pay, and so can matching symbols in the centre positions along all four sides. That gives the 3x3 layout more coverage than it first suggests, although dead spins can still feel frequent.

Torpedo symbols are not just standard paying symbols, they also act as scatters and feed the counter towards Conquer the Kraken. Kraken tentacles can pay normally and act as wilds, substituting for all symbols except scatters. In Dive Mode, the blue Eye of the Kraken becomes the wild, while treasure chests add extra prizes.

Trigger Dive Mode For 9 Free Spins

Five or more diving helmets scattered anywhere on the reels trigger Dive Mode for 9 free spins. During this round, the blue Eye of the Kraken acts as a wild. Treasure chest symbols also matter, because each one awards an extra prize equal to the total bet multiplied by a given factor.

Dive Mode cannot be re-triggered. That limits the bonus ceiling, and I do not like that for a slot already capped at 2,106x. The round can still produce sharp spikes if chests and wilds cooperate, but I would not call it a bankroll-builder. No Bonus Buy is listed, so the buy value and EV angle do not exist here.

Conquer the Kraken Bonus

Collecting 50 torpedoes triggers and plays the Conquer the Kraken bonus round. A visible counter shows how many torpedo symbols are still needed. Once the round starts, the player targets any three of the six Kraken tentacles to retrieve treasure from the Kraken's grip.

Random Wild Kraken Tentacles can also trigger on any base-game spin, with tentacles covering and changing one or more ordinary symbols into wilds. I like that the base game has a random modifier, but I would still size stakes carefully. The average bonus-game trigger is listed at 132 spins, so dry patches are part of the package.

Eye of the Kraken FAQ

How do I trigger Dive Mode in Eye of the Kraken?

Land five or more diving helmet scatters anywhere on the 3x3 grid. That starts Dive Mode with 9 free spins.

Can Dive Mode be re-triggered during the free spins?

No. The source review states that Dive Mode cannot be re-triggered during the feature, which caps the round's extension potential.

What does the torpedo counter do?

Torpedo symbols work as scatters and are collected by the counter. Once 50 torpedoes are collected, Conquer the Kraken is triggered.

Eye of the Kraken Verdict

Bankroll-wise, Eye of the Kraken is a medium-volatility slot with a modest 2,106x ceiling, not a serious max-win hunt. With a proper bankroll, I can justify it for measured sessions and bonus wagering, because the RTP is solid and the feature cycle is visible. The base game can drag a bit.

For serious players, the ceiling is too low for heavy staking. I would not overcommit unless the casino bonus terms make the game useful. No bonus buy, no re-trigger in Dive Mode, and a small grid mean I keep stake sizing conservative. Fun enough, but not a high-roller target.
