Release the Kraken review

Cool slot coming from Pragmatic Play, with 5 awesome bonus rounds! When features drop and the beast appears, the game comes to life. Let's start with the Random Spin feature. Three tentacles appear over the reels and wave a 'Pick Me' sign. Players choose one tentacle to unlock one of the following spin modifiers:

This new wild is called Kraken Lockin Wilds. Three chests appear on the reels, and players open them one by one. If you get more Wilds, the game adds more Kraken Wilds to the reels. The 'Continue Spinning' button does nothing, the 'All Wins x2 and Collect' button multiplies any wins and ends the feature. The 'Collect' button pays out any wins. The Colossal Kraken Wilds feature adds a massive 3x4 wild that may not cover all 12 positions. Instead, it could cover just the top or bottom 3 positions. This feature adds at least one Infectious Kraken Wild to the reels. These wilds turn adjacent symbols into wilds as well. Wild symbols substitute for all symbols except Bonuses, Free Spins, and Chest Bonuses during the Random Spin feature.

Now let's take a look at what each of these symbols does. If the Sunken Treasure Bonus is triggered by bonus symbols on reels 1 and 3, and the Chest Bonus is triggered on reel 5, 3 chests appear on the screen which players open to reveal cash prizes. There is no set number of picks. When a chest reveals 'Collect', the feature ends. Players keep opening chests until one reveals 'Collect'.

The standout feature of the game is the Roaming Kraken Free Spins, triggered by Bonus Symbols on reels 1 and 3 and the Free Spins symbol on reel 5. Unlike the base game's 20 paylines, this feature offers players 40 paylines for more opportunities to win. What makes it even more exciting is the potential for a win multiplier that starts at x1 and increases with each wild symbol that lands on the reels during these spins. The number of spins awarded varies as players choose from chests revealing +1, +2, or +3 until they hit 'Collect' - although in our test run, we mostly received the standard 10 spins.

Overall, Roaming Kraken Free Spins provides an exhilarating gaming experience with its combination of increased paylines and multiplying wilds.
