BGaming adds horror genre to games lineup with Kraken’s Hunger

Popular igaming content provider BGaming has made its first entry into the horror realm with Kraken’s Hunger.

Only brave players will venture down to the dark seabed in search of tentacle-bearing beasts. They are accompanied by enormous riches in the form of treasure chests, a ship’s helm, squid wilds and powerful compass. 

The adaptable game field enables players to choose between the 5×3, 5×4 or 5×5 grid by changing the bet amount, with corresponding paylines of five, 10, or 20 available. If three, four, or five compass symbols appear on the reels, players can land 10, 15, or 20 free spins.

When the bonus game begins, squid wilds can appear in fours to award 10 additional free spins up to three times per round, assigning a multiplier to the total wins. For four compasses, a x2 multiplier is applied. For the next four, this is increased to x3, while the final time they appear, a x10 multiplier is triggered.

In Kraken’s Hunger, special ship symbols display a random sum. Three ships on the winning line in the main game pay the amount indicated on each ship. During free spins, ships appear on reels 2 to 5, paying only if a squid wild drops. 

To access the bonus game with the click of a button, players can buy the round at the price displayed on the screen. Alternatively, the chance x2 option boosts their odds of hitting free spins for a smaller amount. 

Yulia Aliakseyeva, co-CPO at BGaming, said: “We are proud to go live with our first-ever horror slot, with the dark underwater world as a perfect setting for our monstrous Kraken.

“With numerous ways to adapt the course of this imaginative game, such as adding more rows or opting to select one of our buy or chance x2 options, players are in for a gaming experience that is sure to stay with them for a long time.”
