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

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

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