Game Rules and Symbol Payouts

Release the Kraken 2 is played on a 5-reel, 20-payline setup. All symbols pay from left to right, on adjacent reels starting at the leftmost reel. The game features various themed symbols such as sharks and letter symbols, each awarding specific payouts for combinations of 3 to 5 matching symbols. The "WILD" substitutes for all symbols except the "BONUS". "BONUS" symbols can appear on all reels, and landing 3 or more will activate the free spins feature.

Random Features

Wild Respin

When 4 or more WILD symbols land simultaneously, the Wild Respin feature is triggered. During this feature, the WILD symbols remain locked on the reels while a respin is awarded. If additional WILDS appear during the respin, further respins are granted.

Shifting Stacked Wilds

Shifting Stacked Wilds occur randomly on reels 2, 3, and 4. This feature moves WILD symbols fully onto the reel, and for every position moved, the multiplier increases by 1x.

Guaranteed Win

If a spin results in no win, the Guaranteed Win feature may activate at random. This can transform symbols to secure a win between 20x and 60x the total bet. Additionally, 3 BONUS symbols landing on the reels can trigger the free spins feature.

Free Spins Feature

The free spins feature is triggered by landing 3 or more BONUS symbols anywhere on the reels. This activates a mini-game, which determines the specific number of free spins awarded and the associated multipliers. The combination of BONUS symbols affects the potential outcomes in the mini-game.

Betting Adjustments and Controls

Players can set their preferred bet size, ranging from £0.20 to £4.00 per spin, by using the plus and minus controls. The information screen and settings menu allow access to further game details and history. The game imposes a maximum win cap of 5,000 times the bet.

Ante Bet Functionality

The Ante Bet option, if activated, increases the bet multiplier and enhances the likelihood of BONUS symbols appearing on the reels.

Volatility and Return to Player

This slot is categorised as highly volatile, offering less frequent but potentially larger wins. The Return to Player (RTP) information can be checked in-game.
