Release the Kraken Megaways™

You know what they say, third’s the charm? Well, Pragmatic Play might believe the saying as it has released the third Kraken themed video slot! The second sequel two years after the first one, and 4 years after the debut. Compared to the first two games, this one is considerably more volatile with thousands of ways. Players can compete with the legendary sea creature for a chance to win up to 10,000x.

In terms of features, what lurks beneath the surface are Roaming Wilds, Random Wins, Free Spins, Respins, and Buy Bonuses. You also have an Ante bet to increase winning chances, but it’s obvious the game is geared for high rollers, so if you are not that, you might want to steer clear from the game’s dangerous depths.

The legendary Kraken is out for yet another adventure. This time, you get to experience the thrill chasing using 117,649 ways to win, thanks to the Big Time Gaming’s Megaways mechanic. Given that we all know what Megaways are, there’s not need to go into details. It’s a classic 6-reel setup with 2-7 icons per reel, offering a dynamic winning ways setup that keeps you on your toes.

If you decide to play the slot, be prepared for a lot of challenges along the way. For starters, the game’s volatility is ‘very high’ which should already mean that you are not supposed to go wild and not expect wild results. It also means wins are potentially high. The maximum win capacity is 10,000x, but that is not very likely to happen to you, honestly.

Moreover, the RTP is 96.40% which is great; there are two other options that are lower and thus less favourable. If you want to set the bet, you can tinker with  bet levels, coin values, and total bet amounts.

An interesting addition to the game is the Ante Bet. Some games call it the Golden Bet, others Ante; the principle is the same. You get increased winning chances of hitting a feature, but also have to pay slightly more (25% more than your current stake).

Outside of that, the third Release the Kraken slot features crisp visuals, good-looking animations, and overall easy-to-master gameplay.

The lowest bet you can place on a single round in Release the Kraken Megaways is $0.20, while the highest bet possible is $240. That is if you are not using the Ante Bet. In that case, the range is $0.25 to $300 per spin.

The Ante Bet increases the chances of hitting a feature, but it also has a higher price. Namely, if you opt for the Ante Bet, you will also have to pay 25% more than your current stake. To choose this option, just click on the button on the left side.

Moreover, there is also a Buy Bonus – or two Bonus Buys. Pay 100x and claim 3 Scatters and 3 Chests, or pay 150x and get 4,5, or 6 Scatters and a corresponding number of Chests.

Game symbols pay 0.60x to 0.80x for low-rank card royals (10-A) and 1x to 7.50x for high-pays (sea creatures). The maximum you can win is 10,000x.

The third installment of Release the Kraken comes with Wild Respins featuring Roaming Wilds, Free Spins, and more.

Wild Respins

Anytime you get 3 or more Wilds on the grid you will automatically trigger a Respin. During the Respin, all Wilds on the grid are not just regular, but rather Roaming Wilds. They walk across the board to random positions, triggering new wins. If you get another Wild, you get another Respin. This keeps going on until you run out of new Wilds.

Random Win

Any random base game spin without a win might trigger a Random Win, which is a booster allowing icons to mix positions to generate a win of at least 10x.

Free Spins

Get 3, 4, 5, or 6 Scatters and you will get 6 Spins + Chests to unlock before the start of the rounds. Chests carry prizes, and the number of chests you get to unlock correspond to the number of Scatters you had that unlocked the feature.

Possible prizes inside chests are:

• + Extra Spins: Chests may carry +1, 2, 3, or 4 Extra Spins.
• + Wilds: A Chest might contain an extra Roaming Wild that appears at the start of the round.
• + Multiplier: Chest with a Win Multiplier that applies to all wins (1x or 2x).
• Extra Ways: Chests with Ways mean you start the spins with at least 2000, 5000, or 10000 winning ways.

During Free Spins, all Wilds are Roaming Wilds.

Buy Feature

Pay 100x and you get 3 Scatters and 3 Chests, or pay 150x to get either 4, 5, or 6 Scatters and Chests.
