If you haven’t had your fill of sticky tentacles dragging you deeper and deeper in the Release the Kraken game from Pragmatic Play, then get your marbles together, it’s time for round two in the Release the Kraken 2 online slot.
What many speak about but only a handful of have lived through, players face the mighty Kraken once again. This time around, it comes with an enhanced intelligence and more cunning as ever.
This, of course, indicates that the treasure guarded and protected by the sea goliath is of more importance, being more vast and precious than before.
Theme and Symbols
In terms of the grim theme, things aren’t that bad in the Release the Kraken 2 online slot, not that they were in the original edition. With a cartoon-like style and vivid colors, punters will have nothing to worry about, as far as the graphics and visuals are concerned at least.
Lurking at the bottom of the sea is the Kraken Wild Symbol, replacing any of the following icons with the exception of the Golden Scatter; Shark, Puffer Fish, Anglerfish, Eel and A-10 royals are what's left of the pay table.
Betting Options and Features
5 reels, 4 rows and 20 pay lines make up for the playground in the Release the Kraken 2 online slot. When it comes to the betting range, both high and low stake rollers are covered with it stretching anywhere from 0,20 - 100,00 credits per strike.
Moreover, the Ante Bet feature allows you to increase your stakes whilst also boosting your odds of triggering the Free Spins feature. According to the casino provider Pragmatic Play, the title is of high volatility and has a best odds ratio of 96,03%.
The latter decreases slightly to 96,01% when enabling the Ante Bet option whereas it equals 96,03% or 96,05% when buying Standard Free Spins or VIP Free Spins respectively.
The highest win has been tuned down a little compared to the original release, being 5,000x the stake.
It’s time to get our hands all sticky and dive for the features!
Just like before, there’s a chance for any of the following features to occur in the base game.
Wild Respin - If 4 or more Wilds hit in the base game, respins are awarded where Wilds move each spin to a random position, remaining on the grid. In case of a new Wild appearing, an additional respin is awarded.
Shifting Stack Wilds - These can appear on reels 2, 3 and 4 in the base game at random. Once they do, they nudge to cover all positions on their respective reels with each nudge increasing the win multiplier by 1.
Guaranteed Win - There’s a chance for Kraken to appear on a non-winning spin, rearrange symbols to form a win of 20x - 50x the bet. What is more, there’s a chance of 3 Scatters spawning, triggering the Free Spins round.
Free Spins - 3, 4 or 5 Scatters in view activate the feature but, before the game starts, players play a Mini Game to determine the number of Free Spins and value of a win multiplier.
Of course, the more Scatters trigger the feature the merrier the numbers of Free Spins and win multiplier values. Once in, the game doubles the number of active lines, meaning 40 pay lines.
Moreover, hitting a Wild Symbol makes it sticky for the duration of the feature, moving to a random position with each spin. If that’s not enough, then keep an eye out for the Golden Wild which also increases the win multiplier by 1.
Wrapping Up
No matter how hard we try to describe the vanity of innovative games, Pragmatic Play’s online chest of slots never stops to amaze us. A fan-favorite experience in the Release the Kraken only elevates to a whole new level in this sequel.
All in all, a job incredibly well done by this studio.
