Release the Kraken Slot Review

How to play

You can’t miss the play button in this game – it’s an animated button on the right side of the screen. When you press that button, the five reels, 20 paylines, and four rows per reel will start moving. You might want to change the size of your bet before playing too. You can choose the number of coins per line – a minimum of 1 coin and a maximum of 10 coins. Next, you can choose the value of these coins that starts with €0.01 and ends with €0.5. So, if you use the maximum values, you can bet with €100 per turn.

Just like in other slot games, players can also use an Auto-play feature, turn the sound off or on and find information about the payout table and bonuses in this slot. You can also find info about your game history once you spin the reels a few times.

Symbols and payouts

The payout table of the Release the Kraken slot includes nine standard symbols. Of course, the classic playing card icons are present in this game too. Before we analyze the payouts, we should mention that you can win only by landing three, four, or five icons of the same kind on a line. If you hit three, four, or five Jacks or Queens, you’ll get 5, 10, or 40 times your line bet respectively. On the other hand, the same combination of Kings or Aces on a payline will provide 10, 20, or 80 times the line bet.

Three or four blue or yellow fish on a line will provide 20 or 60 times the line bet, but five yellow fish promise 100 while five blue fish promise 150 times your line bet. You can win 200 times the line bet with five sea turtles on a line and 250 times the line bet with five sharks on a line. The game’s logo is the top paying symbol in the game and it delivers 50, 200, or 500 times the line bet for three, four, or five of them respectively.

Let’s not forget that the Wild icon is a paying symbol too and it delivers the same prizes as the logo of the slot.

Best Release the Kraken bonus feature

What’s great is that you can activate more than one Release the Kraken bonus feature. As we said before, the wild icon represented by bubbles and a golden wild sign is a wild icon that counts as any standard symbol when needed.

At random, the game will ask you to choose one of three tentacles and your choice will trigger a different random feature – locking wilds that stay in their places and help you win more wilds, collect prizes or double prizes, colossal wilds that cover 12 positions, or infectious wilds that turns surrounding icons into wild icons.

To trigger the sunken treasure bonus game, you will need a bonus icon on the first and third reel and a chest bonus icon on the last reel. After that, you can pick one of three chests and get a money prize. By hitting a bonus icon on the first and third reel and a Free Spins icon on the last reel, you will activate the Release the Kraken free spins round. During these free spins, the matrix has 40 paylines. Wild icons will increase the size of the win multiplier in this round.

RTP & Volatility

The Release the Kraken RTP is 96.5%. That’s higher than many other slot games found today. Also, this is a high volatility game that pays out less often on average, but the chances to get big wins in a short period is higher.
