Sky Bounty is a Pragmatic Play 6 x 6 slot with 50 paylines, a moving marked square, expanding Kraken wilds, and free spins that enlarge the active collection area.

A roaming square grows when bonus symbols land inside it, while wild multipliers affect only winning lines that cross the marked cells.

Kraken Wilds Expand Inside Marks

On the 6 x 6 grid, fifty fixed paylines evaluate matching symbols. The Kraken acts as a wild and substitutes for regular symbols, while bonus symbols are excluded from substitution and control entry into the free-spin feature.

Three or more bonus symbols award six free spins and place a marked square on the grid. The square moves to a random position before each spin and expands when another bonus symbol lands inside its current area.

A related marked-square event can appear during base play. Wilds landing inside it expand to the square size, and later wilds in the same area add a multiplier to winning paylines that pass through those marked positions.

Marked win scope

The square multiplier applies only to wins crossing marked cells.
A multiplier shown outside a payable line adds nothing to that result.

Moving Area Feature Effects

  • Moving mark: The active square changes position before each bonus spin.
  • Area growth: Bonus symbols inside the mark expand its covered cells.
  • Wild expand: Kraken wilds can grow to match the marked area.
  • Line multi: Later wilds increase wins passing through marked positions.
  • Spin add: Collected bonus symbols can extend the feature sequence.
  • Paid modes: Bonus Buy and Bonus Bet alter feature access costs.

Marked-Line Multiplier Value

Payout value concentrates where the moving square intersects several of the fifty paylines. Expanding a Kraken wild increases substitution coverage, but the larger image still needs compatible symbols on adjacent reels to create a payable line.

Multiplier growth is conditional on later wilds landing inside the marked area, and only lines crossing those cells receive the increase. A large displayed multiplier therefore has no effect on unrelated paylines elsewhere on the grid.

The x5,000 maximum depends on area growth, wild expansion, and connected lines aligning before the feature ends. Extra spins offer more square movements, yet relocation can place the mark away from established symbol coverage on the next result.

Player fit and limitations

  • Area movement: Suits players who track changing grid coordinates each spin.
  • Line routing: Suits players who follow wins through marked cells.
  • Position shift: The square can leave a previously favorable grid area.
  • Paid access: Feature purchases raise the cost of a single event.
Marked-area chasing

A growing square can encourage higher stakes before it resets.

FAQ

What makes the marked square larger?

A bonus symbol must land inside its current area. The square then expands for later feature spins.

How does a Kraken wild use the square?

A wild landing inside the marked area expands to its size. This can cover several positions at once.

Which wins receive the square multiplier?

Only paylines passing through marked cells receive the accumulated multiplier. Other lines keep their ordinary values.

Can Sky Bounty open the feature directly?

Yes. Bonus Buy provides direct entry where enabled, while Bonus Bet changes the paid-spin conditions.
