Riptide Pirates 2: Kraken Riches Slot Bonuses and Features
Riptide Wild Stack Feature. Below each reel is a Riptide meter, filled by landing Blue or Golden Riptide symbols. Reel 1 needs 1 symbol and reels 2–5 require 2–5 symbols, respectively. Blue symbols fill meters incrementally and golden symbols fill a reel instantly. Once filled, the corresponding reel transforms into a stacked wild on the next spin. This wild stack shifts left by one reel with each spin until it exits the grid. If a wild stack is awarded on a reel already holding one, a win multiplier (starting at x2) is applied and increases by +1 with each additional stack.
Bonus Booster. Above the reels, 4 cannons represent your progress toward bonus enhancements. Landing Kraken Bonus symbols fills the Bonus Boost meter, unlocking more cannons (1 to 4) used during the Kraken Bonus. More cannons mean more shots in the bonus round, increasing your chances of big wins and triggering modifiers.
Kraken Bonus. Triggered by landing 3 Kraken Bonus symbols, this feature takes place on a 10×10 grid filled with targets. Active cannons (from 1 to 4) take turns firing at targets. Each cannon starts with 3 lives. Hitting a target resets its life count to 3; missing removes 1 life. When a cannon loses all lives, the next becomes active. The feature ends when all cannons are exhausted.
Targets and Prizes Include:
- Boats: 28 targets awarding 2x–10x your bet.
- Jackpot Ships: Award Mini (15x), Midi (50x), Major (200x), or Mega (2,000x) jackpots if fully destroyed.
- Kraken: Destroying all sections pays the Max Win of 10,000x. Partial hits can pay up to 1,000x or award Bonus Boost progress.
- Chests: 8 modifiers, including:
- Treasure: up to 100x prize
- Prize Booster: multiplies win and boosts all boat values
- Reinforcements: adds new boats with prizes
- Persistent Prize Booster: increases boat values every round
- Hunter: hits one section of every ship
- Double: doubles all boat values
- Extra Cannon: adds another cannon
- Rescue: restores destroyed boats
Conclusion
Riptide Pirates 2: Kraken Riches slot from Nailed It! Games is a well-executed sequel that offers sharp visuals, engaging mechanics, and a feature-driven design. The Riptide Wild Stack feature and Bonus Booster keeps things engaging, while the Kraken Bonus brings cannon-based action packed with jackpot potential and interactive modifiers.
