An underwater theme is revealed showing the kraken, a multi tentacled beast being the monstrous mythical octopus along with age old shipwrecks and accompanying sea life bubbling deep beneath the oceans. Colourful detailed cartoon like 3D graphics, great animation and rousing sound effects complete the overall atmosphere.
The gaming grid brings 5 reels with 4 rows and 20 up to 40 paylines (ways to win) with a maximum win potential of 10,000x stake. Cash prizes are awarded when punters place at least three to five matching symbols on a payline which pay from left to right on adjacent reels. A turbo spin and optional auto-play option allow for fast and fluid action and for a set number of automated spins to be pre set which can be of great help to those who are more conscious of maintaining a set gaming budget.
The RTP (Return to Player Percentage) of Release the Kraken is a very solid 96.5% and the volatility is medium/high. This volatility strikes an excellent balance between steady and consistent wins providing entertaining appeal to both novice and more veteran players.
The betting range brings flexibility to every variety of budget where wagers can be placed from a minimum of $0.20 per spin up to a maximum possible stake of $100.00 which is likely to appease the most bankroll heavy online gambler.
Nine gaming symbols show the top paying shark, a pufferfish, a clown fish, a ruff and a turtle in addition to royal playing card symbols Jack to Ace which represent the lower paying icons. The Release the Kraken logo symbol with the wild symbols are the most potent icons in the game paying out 25x wager for five across a payline.
During the base game A Random Spin feature can be triggered where three tentacles are displayed offering players a choice to trigger one of three different wild mini feature games. The Kraken Lockin Wilds enable a choice between 1 of 3 treasure chests to award either more wild symbols, continue spinning or all wins are multiplied x2.
The Colossal Kraken Wilds provide a randomly placed gigantic 3×4 wild symbol guaranteed to land on the reels which can bring an epic payout. The Infectious Kraken wilds add at least one wild onto the reels and this in turn turns all the symbols next to it into wilds.
Landing a bonus symbol on either reels 1 and 3 with a Chest Bonus symbol on reel 5 triggers the Sunken Treasure Bonus. This enables a choice of one of three chests to win a random cash prize and this continues until the Collect sign pops up in a chest and the feature ends.
To activate the Roaming Kraken Free spins the bonus symbols must land on reels one and three and the Free Spins symbol on the fifth reel. When punters open one of the free spins bonus chests they will discover how many free spins they are awarded. Up to 12 free spins can be won and these play out across the full 40 paylines. This feature begins with a 1x win multiplier and this increases up to a maximum of 10x. This feature cannot be retriggered.
Release the Kraken slot is fully mobile optimized. It can be easily played on the go from desktops, compatible smartphones or tablet devices such as iOS Apple, Android or Samsung.
