Captain Kraken Megaways Slot Review

Captain Kraken Megaways skips traditional free spins and instead puts all its weight behind money symbols and a Hold and Respin feature. The upside is immediacy. Significant values are not locked behind long bonus rounds, and meaningful wins can land straight from the base game.

Money Collect

Money symbols carry values from 1x to 25x, along with fixed jackpots: Minor (40x), Major (200x), and Grand (2,000x). They can land on any reel except the top horizontal reel.

The reason this matters is the Collect symbol. When it lands on reel six, it instantly gathers and pays every money symbol currently visible. That includes jackpot values. A Major or even a Grand can be paid immediately without entering a bonus round, which gives the base game far more bite than most Megaways slots.

RespinsThe Respins feature triggers when a Respins symbol lands on reel six while at least one money symbol is already on the grid. You start with three respins, and all triggering money symbols lock in place.

What makes this feature engaging is how quickly it can escalate. New money symbols and modifiers reset the respin counter, and because symbols stick, the grid builds value rather than resetting each spin. It feels less like chasing a single hit and more like constructing a payout step by step.

Modifier Symbols

Modifier symbols appear only on the top horizontal reel during the Respins feature:

• Collect Reel:Collects all money values on the reel below
• Collect Screen:Collects all money values on the grid
• Multiply Reel:Multiplies the reel below by x2 to x100
• Multiplier Screen: Multiplies all money values on the grid by x2 to x100

These modifiers are what stop the Respins from feeling flat. They create swing moments in which a modest grid can suddenly turn into a big payout, without dragging out the feature with long animations.

Feature Buy

Outside the United Kingdom, the Respins feature can be bought directly for 100x the current stake. It takes you straight to the core mechanic, which makes sense in a slot where the base game mainly exists to feed that feature.

Captain Kraken Megaways is fine. It looks and feels like a familiar pirate slot, and if you like that theme, then it is definitely decent.

What kept me engaged was the money symbol system. Being able to collect jackpots directly in the base game gives it more edge than slots that lock everything behind free spins. The Respins feature is solid, and the modifiers do enough to stop it from feeling flat, but it never quite pushes into must-play territory, which is why it scores a 6.5 from me.

I would not call this the best pirate slot around, and the 5,000x max win is on the low side for a Megaways game. Still, it is clean, readable, and does not overcomplicate itself. If you like money-focused slots and want something steady rather than flashy, it does the job.

Rating: 6.5
