Release the Kraken Megaways Overview
In 2020 Pragmatic Play released a game called Release the Kraken and 2 years later they added Release the Kraken 2. Now another 2 years later, they added a Megaways version with Release the Kraken Megaways.
The game got a little makeover with a different look, but still very recognizable. And the reels are now set against a harbor with a big ship in the background.
You will find 6 reels that are between 2 and 7 symbols high during each spin, giving a maximum of 117.649 ways per spin. Symbols pay left to right, starting on the first reel, no matter where on the reels the symbols are.
Besides low paying card symbols you will also find medium to high paying sea animals like jellyfish and sharks. Then there are wild symbols, which is the kraken, that online appears on all reels, except the first reel. Bonus symbols, or scatters, can appear on all reels. The game also features mystery symbols during the base spins. All these symbols will change into one and the same normal paying symbol after the reels stopped.
Release of the Kraken Megaways comes with a solid maximum payout of 10.000 times your bet and is a medium volatile slot game.
Features
Wild Re-spins
During base spins, when at least 3 wild symbols land, you are awarded with a free re-spin. All wild symbols that triggered will roam over the reels and land on a random position. After which the reels stop. If a new wild symbols lands, you get another free re-spin. Until no new wild symbols appear.
Guaranteed Win
During base spins, when you get a non winning spin, at random symbols might change, awarding a winning combination of at least 10 times bet.
Free Spins Feature
3 or more scatter symbols will award 6 free spins.
Before free spins start you get a screen of chests and you get to pick as many chests as scatters that triggered the bonus. Each chest will award something extra. A chest can contain:
- 1, 2, 3 or 4 extra free spins
- 1 extra roaming wild
- x1 or x2 added to the general multiplier
- A minimum of 2000, 5000 or 10.000 Megaways per spin guaranteed
Each wild symbol collected during the picking, or landing during free spins, will become a roaming wild and will keep moving over the reels between each spin. If 2 wild symbols land on the same spot, the general multiplier will go up by x1.
Each scatter symbol appearing during free spins will add 1 more free spins and will also give another pick from the chests.
Verdict
Relase the Kraken en the sequel where already pretty cool games with fun features. And this Megaways version keeps continuing with the same excitement.
The base game keeps going because of the re-spin feature and the mystery symbols. But especially free spins is a very nice feature and something different for a Megaways slot. Because of the added bonuses before the free spins start. And if you manage to get enough of those roaming wilds, the game can really start paying some solid wins.
Overall I think Release the Kraken Megaways is a very solid addition to the Release the Kraken series, but also to the Megaways collection of games.
