Eye of the Kraken: Play in Ireland 2026 — RTP, Features & Where to Find It

What Is Eye of the Kraken?

Eye of the Kraken by Play'n GO is a deep-sea mythology slot that focuses on a unique free-spins mechanic where the Kraken itself reshapes the reels. Released in 2017, it uses a 5-reel, 3-row layout with 10 paylines and a distinctive free-spins system where the Kraken's eye appears as a giant 3x3 wild.

The game's standard base gameplay uses the Book format: a special symbol serves as both wild and scatter. But Eye of the Kraken diverges from the standard book slot formula in its free-spins execution — instead of a single expanding symbol, the Kraken's eye appears as a giant 3x3 wild that dominates the central three reels.

RTP & Volatility

Eye of the Kraken carries a published RTP of 96.70%. High volatility means wins are less frequent but can be significantly larger when they land, rewarding patience.

RTP is a theoretical long-run figure — it does not predict outcomes in any single session. Set a budget before playing.

Key Features

During free spins, the Kraken's Eye (a 3x3 giant wild) can appear on reels 2, 3 and 4. When it lands, it covers nine grid positions across the central three reels, acting as a wild in all nine positions. Combined with the game's 10 paylines, a fully positioned Kraken's Eye can produce wins across all active lines simultaneously.

Free spins trigger when three or more Scatter symbols land anywhere on the reels. The number of scatters determines the number of free spins awarded. During free spins, the Kraken's Eye appears more frequently than standard wild coverage, making the bonus more densely populated with potential nine-position wild coverage.

A re-spin mechanic can trigger in the base game when two Scatter symbols land, potentially completing a three-scatter trigger. Wild symbols in the base game substitute for all non-scatter symbols on a standard basis. The Kraken's Eye giant wild is exclusive to free spins.

Theme & Design

A sunlit ocean surface gives way to murky depths, with a giant tentacled Kraken visible through the reels. High-value symbols include diving helmets, treasure maps, underwater compasses, ship's wheels and anchors. The colour palette shifts from surface blues to dark ocean depths. Play'n GO's production values are consistent throughout.

Verdict

Eye of the Kraken is a focused high-volatility slot with a genuinely powerful free-spins mechanic in the 3x3 Kraken's Eye wild. The 96.70% RTP is excellent, the 10-payline structure is accessible, and the giant wild coverage during free spins creates dramatic win potential. For Irish players who prefer the book slot format with a nautical twist, it is worth exploring.
