Release the Kraken 2 Demo & Review

Release the Kraken 2 review

Release the Kraken 2 moves to a 5x4 grid and expands the base game with several random features: wild respins, shifting stacked wilds and spins that always produce a win. Those features keep the base game busier than many line slots.

The bonus round introduces a gamble mechanic that lets you risk your award for additional spins, and an increasing multiplier runs through the feature. Gambling for spins can lengthen the round, but a failed gamble can end the extra spins, so it is a real decision. The advertised maximum is 5,000x, lower than the original. The RTP is 96.5%. Try the gamble option in demo first to see how much it affects your bonuses.
