The Almighty Kraken Diamond Link slot by Novomatic gives you 4 jackpots, an RTP of 95% and a nautical theme that hides diamonds, respins and 3 wild features.
It won’t come as any surprise that in this nautical slot theme, the Treasure Chest wild is the highest paid symbol on the paytable, followed by the Kraken, the pirate captain and her henchman. You then get the low-paying eel, lionfish, hunting gun, anchor and compass.
All in all, this is exactly what you’ve come to expect from the likes of the Beast Below slot or Release the Kraken 2. For the most part, you are underwater unless you find 6 diamonds on the reels.
Then you head to the surface to battle the Kraken and try to catch as many diamonds as possible in 3 spins. But watch out for the jackpot, the Wild Spin, Sticky Spin, or Colossal Spin diamond, which could catch deeper and be richer than you could imagine.
The main feature of this Almighty Kraken Diamond Link slot by Novomatic is the Diamond Link in its name.
If you catch 6 diamonds, you’ll get 3 spins to catch more diamonds. Find a diamond, and you’ll reset the spins to 3, go 3 spins with no diamonds and the feature ends. It has a very Divine Fortune Megaways slot in feel, but without the big jackpots to give some much-needed impact.
Finding the last three diamonds is harder than finding the Kraken himself, but it’s possible. Overall, you generally get around 20x to 30x your bet, and the feature comes often enough that you get a little thrill of anticipation each time.
This isn’t a bad video slot; it’s not even the worst we’ve played this week. But it’s a little middle of the road. It has middle-of-the-road wins, middle-of-the-road features, and middle-of-the-road jackpots.
This Almighty Kraken Diamond Link jackpot slot is a local progressive. They don’t go up very quickly or very high, maybe 1000x your bet on a good day.
That’s not a bad sum, considering this is far less dangerous than the likes of Moon Princess Power of Love slot review, and the wins probably won’t be much higher.
It’s just one that has better features and better gameplay. So this Novomatic slot gets 3 stars for trying but not standing out. That said, if you like jackpot games, it’s a fun ship to hop into on your way to deeper water.

Wild: The treasure chest is the wild symbol and replaces all other symbols on the reels to create a win. It will not replace the scatter.
Diamond Link Feature: 5 Diamonds anywhere on the reels trigger a re-spin with the diamonds sticky on the reels. 6 Diamonds in total will trigger the Diamond Link Feature. The possible prizes displayed on the diamond symbols are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 15, 25 or 100 multipliers on the total bet.
You get 3 free spins to catch as many diamonds as possible, with the 6 triggering diamonds starting the count. Any new diamonds will reset the spins to 3. 3 spins with no diamonds end the feature, and you collect the total in each diamond.
Wild Spins Diamond, Sticky Spin Diamond and Colossal Spin Diamond appearing anywhere during this feature will then trigger the additional bonus at the end of your round.
The Mini/Minor/Major jackpot diamond symbols trigger the corresponding jackpot. Fill all 15 positions with diamonds, and you win the Grand Jackpot.
Wild Spins: Each Wild Spin diamond symbol appearing in the Diamond Link Feature triggers 1 free spin. During the spins, a random number of wild symbols are added to random positions on the reels. They can have multipliers of 2x or 3x. They multiply themselves if you get a win with two or more wild multiplier symbols.
Sticky Spin: Each Sticky Spin diamond symbol appearing in the Diamond Link Feature triggers 1 free spin. This spin will lock any winning symbols and give you a free re-spin of the reels for as long as you keep getting winning symbols on the re-spins. The wild symbols have a multiplier of 2x or 3x.
Colossal Spin: Each Colossal Spin diamond symbol appearing in the Diamond Link Feature triggers 1 free spin. Reels 2, 3 and 4 will host giant symbols during the free spins. This can include colossal wild symbols with multipliers of 2x or 3x.
Progressive jackpot: 1% of your bet goes to building the grand and major jackpot.
This Almighty Kraken Diamond Link slot game has many features, but they are as elusive as hunting down an actual Kraken.
Thankfully, this is a decent 5x3 reel, 25 payline slot machine at its base with even-handed wins, a nice nautical theme, and a frequent diamond link feature.
If you don't expect to catch big wild features, this is a nice way to take a short bus or train journey. The progressive prizes do decrease the overall RTP of this game, but it's to be expected from jackpot slot game.
It's a decent machine to find at your favourite Novomatic casino.
