Eye of the Kraken Slot Review: Dive Mode and Kraken Bonus

Eye of the Kraken is a Play’n GO sea-adventure slot about a crew searching for wrecked treasure while an enormous monster guards the prize. Its identity comes from two different kinds of tension: random tentacles can alter the reels during ordinary play, while the feature path asks you to collect helmets or torpedoes before the most distinctive rewards appear. The result is a game built around visible collection goals rather than a single generic free-spin trigger.

How the base game works

The official presentation shows a conventional video-slot reel layout with sea-themed low symbols, crew members and treasure imagery. The published page does not state the exact reel count, payline count, RTP or volatility for this standard version, so those configuration points remain unknown rather than being borrowed from another release. The Eye of the Kraken is a Wild that substitutes for every symbol except the Scatter. That makes ordinary wins easier to complete, but it does not replace the separate collection systems that drive the bonuses.

Dive Mode and the Kraken battle

Five Divers Helmets collected in a round activate Dive Mode and award nine Free Spins. Treasure Chest Scatters then carry values that depend on how many chests land, so the value is tied to the shape of the feature result rather than a fixed prize announced before the spins. The Kraken’s eye remains a substituting Wild, while the chest symbols provide the feature’s potential cash value. Separately, collecting 50 torpedoes triggers Conquer the Kraken. The bonus presents five guarded treasure chests; torpedoes are used to shoot and unlock them, but only three contain prizes. The official page states a maximum of x500 the total bet for this round. The interaction is deliberately limited: collecting torpedoes gives access to a choice-like chest sequence, but it does not make every chest pay.

Configuration and practical limits

The official source dates Eye of the Kraken to 16 September 2015 and labels it a video slot with Adventure and Fishing themes. It does not publish RTP, volatility, exact reels, paylines or a standard-version maximum win beyond the x500 cap attached to Conquer the Kraken. That makes the documented feature rules more useful than an invented risk label: players can see the collection thresholds, but cannot judge frequency from the page alone.

Strengths and weak points

Strengths

Two independent collection routes give the game a readable sense of progression, and the helmet feature combines a fixed nine-spin entry with chest values that respond to the number of Scatters.

Weaknesses

The torpedo bonus offers five chests but only three pay, while the public page leaves frequency, volatility, RTP and most base-game configuration details undisclosed.

Our Editor’s View

Eye of the Kraken suits readers who want a clearly staged adventure, with two counters leading to two differently structured rewards. Dive Mode is the more familiar route, but its chest values depend on the number of Scatters, while the torpedo battle adds a finite selection puzzle with two non-paying chests. Those limits keep the theme connected to the rules, although they also mean the headline adventure is not a guarantee of a long feature. Compared with the broader nautical escalation in Release the Kraken 2, this is the more compact, threshold-driven design.
