Release the Kraken® 2

This follow-up to Release the Kraken® keeps the deep-sea setting and enlarges the grid once free spins begin. The headline mechanic is Shifting Stack Wilds: a partly visible stack of wilds slides along its reel until the reel is covered, and every slide pushes a win multiplier higher.

If several wilds appear together, Roaming Wild Respins start, during which the wilds keep wandering and the multiplier continues to rise while more wilds turn up. Before the free spins, a small gamble allows players to give up spins in exchange for a stronger opening multiplier. In the base game the Kraken may also strike without warning, reshuffling symbols to create a win.

It may suit fans of the first game who want a tidier wild-and-multiplier system. The free demo uses play credits, no real money is involved, and results are random. The published RTP is 96.50%.
