Release the Kraken 2 Overview
With a Value Score of 76.6/100, Release the Kraken 2 stands out in Pragmatic's portfolio as a top-tier option for slot enthusiasts.
Release the Kraken 2 is a 5-reel, 3-row video slot with 20 paylines in the base game, expanding to 40 paylines during free spins. The game features an underwater theme with cartoon-style graphics depicting a friendly Kraken character and various sea creatures as premium symbols. Card ranks (10-A) serve as low-paying symbols, while fish denizens function as high-paying tiles. The slot incorporates multiple dynamic mechanics: wild symbols (worth up to 20x the bet) appear on all reels, sticky wilds that remain during free spins while shifting positions, and a progressive multiplier triggered by golden Kraken symbols. Three random base game features activate occasionally to maintain engagement, including guaranteed wins (20x-60x bet) where the Kraken rearranges symbols on non-winning spins. The bonus round features a mini-game where players select items to determine free spin counts (3-20) and multipliers (1x-10x). Graphically, the game presents a polished, lighthearted aesthetic compared to its predecessor, emphasizing entertainment over menace.
