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

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.

– 5 to 20 free spins 😗 with up to an x10 multiplier. 5 scatter symbol trigger – 6 to 20 free spins with up to an 😗 x10 multiplier.

During free spins, the win multiplier applies to all wins, and the grid increases the number of paylines to 😗 40. Also, when wild symbols hit, they remain on the reels until the round ends, moving to a random cell 😗 after each spin. If a golden wild symbol hits, it also increases the win multiplier by +1. Free spins cannot 😗 be retriggered.

In the end, there were no real complaints about the Release the Kraken 2 experience. It looks neat, has 😗 a fun feel, and possesses a good number of features it can deliver onto the reels. It's tough to say 😗 whether Release the Kraken 2 is an outright improvement over the game which preceded it or not, so let's be 😗 diplomatic and just call it different.
