Time for some deep sea diving with developer Pragmatic Play as it heads beneath the waves once again for the 0️⃣ sequel slot Release the Kraken 2. The original release clearly struck the right note with enough underwater adventurers with its 0️⃣ bounty of wild types, pick-me treasure chests, and Roaming Kraken Free Spins. For the reboot, Pragmatic Play has rejigged much 0️⃣ of the gameplay, wedging in Wild Respins, Shifting Stack Wilds, Guaranteed Wins, and a Deal or No Deal element to 0️⃣ the free spins feature. It sounds like a lot has changed, and it has, but the same bubbly spirit has 0️⃣ remained, let's take a look.

If anything, Release the Kraken 2 is even bubblier than the original game, located at the 0️⃣ bottom of the sea, full of weeds, fish, and colourful coral. Injecting extra life into the game is a cheeky 0️⃣ set of characters on the reels that do this little animation thing when they create a winning line. Okay, a 0️⃣ small thing, but details matter, and Pragmatic Play is good at combining a bunch of details into one big glossy 0️⃣ whole. Gotta say the vibe is actually a lot more cheerful than it was in Release the Kraken. The original 0️⃣ game had more of a menacing feel emanating from its lead Kraken characters. This has largely been erased in Release 0️⃣ the Kraken 2, replaced with a playful attitude rather than hints of an ominous one.

One thing that has remained constant 0️⃣ is the game's layout. Release the Kraken 2 is played once again on a 5-reel, 3-row game grid with 20 0️⃣ paylines utilised in the base game, increasing to 40 paylines in free spins. It's highly volatile, rated as 5 out 0️⃣ of 5 by the studio, and has a variety of RTP values depending on how you play the game and 0️⃣ on the model. At max settings, playing regularly generates a theoretical return of 96.03%, picking stakes of 20 p/c toR$/€100 0️⃣ per spin. This increases by 25% when activating the Ante Bet, which in turn increases the chance of triggering the 0️⃣ feature, as well as altering the RTP to 96.01%.

Nine regular pay symbols appear on the grid, divided into 10-A card 0️⃣ ranks as the low pays, then four denizens of the deep as the high pays. Landing a five-of-a-kind winning line 0️⃣ pays out 1-2 times the stake when made up of card symbols or 3-10x the bet when consisting of premium 0️⃣ tiles. A Kraken is displayed on the wild symbols which appear on all five reels. Wilds substitute for all symbols 0️⃣ except the bonus symbols and are worth up to 20x the bet for a five-of-a-kind line.
