Release the Kraken Megaways Demo & Review

Release the Kraken Megaways review

Release the Kraken Megaways brings the series onto six Megaways reels with up to 117,649 ways to win. Mystery symbols can land and resolve into matching icons. Three or more wilds trigger a respins mode in which wilds roam after each respin, and a new wild landing awards another spin.

Three or more scatters award six free spins, and you open chests first to collect modifiers such as extra spins, more roaming wilds, multipliers or a minimum number of ways. In the bonus, every wild becomes a roaming wild, and when two stop on the same position the multiplier increases by 1x. The advertised maximum is 10,000x. The RTP of 96.4% is slightly below the earlier games.
