Graphics and Theme

Fishing slots and pirate-themed slots often take place on the ocean, but their boats are generally in good condition. The ship that has landed next to the reels in Release the Kraken Megaways is raggedy to say the least. The sail is in tatters, and there’s a gaping hole where the hull should be. It’s only just reached the shore, and this is definitely not a tropical paradise. Barrels and chests from the ship have washed up on the dark sand, and the clouds loom.

How to Play

Pragmatic Play slots are pretty reliable in their controls:

  1. Start by working out an affordable budget for real-money slots. Once you know your balance and what you can afford, use the plus and minus signs to modify your bet.

  2. Don’t forget to check out the info page. It’ll tell you the gameplay rules, payout potential and how the features work.

  3. On the settings page you can tweak things like sound FX, music or battery saver mode.

  4. There’s also another bet adjustor on the settings page. The minimum is 20p.

  5. All that’s left is to hit spin and see where the reels land.

  6. If the game doesn’t timeout automatically, you need to be ready to stop when you hit your loss, single-win or session-length limits. Self-exclusion may help.

Enjoy, but stay in control.
