The game is focused on the beast that terrorised the sailors of the Norway and Greenland coasts. It is a giant squid. Loading the game, you’ll be taken underwater where on the bottom you’ll see sunken ships. The whole playing area and the background are in different shades of blue – the prevailing colour.

The low-paying symbols are the 10, J, Q, K and A cards. The premium ones are tridents, treasure chests, pendants, Kraken idols. Kraken is the most valuable symbol in terms of payout. Land 2, 3, 4 or 5 Kraken symbols on a pay-line to pocket 1.5, 10, 50 or 500 times your stake.

To win you have to land 2 (3 for the royals) or more identical symbols on any of the pay-lines from left to right. There is a gold Kraken emblem which is a double symbol – a wild and scatter at the same time. It replaces any missing symbols and pays a 500x stake for 5 icons.

Beat the Beast: Kraken’s Lair Features & Bonuses

There is an Expanding Win feature in Beat the Beast: Kraken’s Lair slot. You activate it when you get a winning combination with the help of the Kraken emblem. Then, the winning symbol (let’s say it’s the treasure chest) expands individually. The treasure chest covers the whole reels it is positioned on. This gives you the chance to create more winning combinations.

As mentioned, the Kraken is the scatter symbol, apart from a wild. Land 3, 4 or 5 of it to win 2, 20 or 200 times your stake and activate the Bonus Game. You will receive 10 free spins. A single Kraken symbol will be placed on a random reel before each round begins. This gives you much better chances of triggering the Expanding Wild feature during free spins. It also helps you re-trigger the free spins and win 10 more with a total of 20 free spins to benefit from.
