How To Play Release the Kraken Mobile Slot
Is it time to Release the Kraken slot and see what treasures lie in these sunken ships? There’s certainly lots to explore, just make sure you bring enough air down with you.
We love the look of this machine. Pragmatic Play has clearly thought out this machine, from the high paying shark, turtle and two fish symbols, to the low paying Ace to J symbols. The highest paying symbols of the lot it the Release the Kraken mobile slot logo and the Wild.
You down in the depth of the ocean, but not so deep that coral gives you a little hopefulness of the fact that you might not encounter any monsters.
Which is a shame, as with a name like ‘Release the Kraken’ you want to have a slight feeling of dread when meeting the creature from myths and legends.
That’s not to say that we didn’t like the theme – it’s cute and fun, much like the game itself. But it’s no Eye of the Kraken slot.
3 random features and 20 paylines of fun
The base game can be a little slow at times if we are honest, but it’s livened up by the fact that you may get any one of 3 random features.
Mostly, you get ‘infectious wilds’ which is one re-spin where at least one wild will land and spread across the reels. You may get more, as much as 5 or 10 wilds at once. Another random feature includes landing a mega wild that is 3×4 in space, or locking wild that gives you more re-spins, and possibly even 2x multiplier.
Those last two you get a lot less. But that’s what happens with mid to high variance slot machines that is trying to do everything at once: make you feel like there’s a lot of features, but not show you half of the ones that pay big.
Should you Release the Kraken slot game?
If you don’t look at the paytable, you might end up having a whole load of fun in this game thanks to frequent random features and fun click me game.
If you go in having looked at the paytable and got so excited for the mega wilds and the free spins bonus – you might get frustrated. You may or may not catch these in any one play session, so as long as you are happy with that, then take a spin.
Because you might just catch the free spins, and you might end up playing on a 40 payline slot rather than a 20 payline one. And you might find that every wild stays sticky on-screen and roams around the reel on every spin, giving you different winning positions each time. You may find yourself with 5 roaming wilds and a 5x multiplier, making the paytable your best friend.
It’s there, it’s possible, and it’s amazing when it does happen. And when it doesn’t, there’s alway’s the Nemos Voyage slot for something a little less dangerous.
