You’ll be shown 16 closed treasure chests each holding one of the combinations above, so you won’t know what each treasure chest holds. At the start of the bonus round one of the treasure chests are selected at random by the game and removed from the pool, with its result not shown. Now it’s your turn – you can then open the box, see the result, and play that number of Free Spins with that Multiplier, or reject the offer and instead remove the boxes and combinations from the pool manually in groups of 4, 4, 3, and 3, and take a new offer based on the average remaining boxes in each group.
After every round of box selections, a new offer is made that is equal to the average of the remaining combinations of Free Spins and Multiplier, rounded down. The player can accept and start the feature with the offered number of Free Spins and Multiplier or reject them again and do one more round of box selections.
This will continue until only one box remains unselected. When that happens, you’ll be made an offer to either open the first randomly awarded box or open the remaining one. After this, the round will start with the number of Free Spins and Multiplier awarded by your choice.
During the Free Spins round any win is multiplied by the multiplier won in the mini bonus game. During this round 40 paylines are in play, and any Wild symbol that lands on the reels will remain there until the end of the round, moving to a random position after each spin. If a Golden Symbol lands on the reels, it’ll increase the multiplier for the current round by 1x. This feature can’t be retriggered.
WILD RESPIN – If 4 or more Wild symbols land on the reels the game will payout the win and then go into Free Respin mode. The Wild symbols will remain on the screen and move to a random position while the rest of the symbols Respin. The game will pay all winning combinations after each Respin. More Wild symbols landing on the reels after the default Respin award an extra Respin – looks like the Kraken believes in second chances. The feature will end when no more Wild symbols land on the reels after a Respin.
SHIFTING STACKED WILDS – There is a special symbol that has a red Kraken on it, with WILD shown at the top and bottom. This appears on reels 2, 3, and 4 and it’s called the Shifting Stacked Wild, capable of landing on the reels randomly. When the spins stop the Shifting Stacked Wild symbols are brought fully into the screen to cover all positions on their reel. For each position moved, a multiplier is increased by 1x for each Shifting Stacked Wild. After all these special symbols are moved fully into the screen, winning combinations are paid, multiplied by the sum of all multipliers.
GUARANTEED WIN – Randomly after a spin that results in no win, the Kraken can come onto the reels and change the symbols to an outcome of between 20x to 50x total bet win – or 3 Bonus symbols can appear on the screen as the result of an explosion awarding the Free Spins feature.
