Captain Kraken Megaways review
Captain Kraken Megaways is a 2025 Pragmatic Play slot on a 6x7 grid with 200,704 ways to win. Its core idea is cash collection rather than line wins. Money symbols carry prizes of up to 2,000x the bet, a collect symbol on the last reel gathers them, and a respin bonus builds on the same pieces. Our catalogue lists 96.55% RTP but no volatility label and no max win.
Money and collect symbols in the base game
Money symbols can land in every position except the top row, and their values reach 2,000x the bet. A money symbol pays only when a collect symbol lands at the same moment on reel six. The collect symbol is what turns the money on the screen into a win, so the two have to arrive in the same spin.
The grid is six reels by seven rows, with 200,704 ways according to the studio. The text we hold says nothing about how ordinary symbols pay, so we do not describe the way wins are counted.
The respin bonus
A Respins symbol on reel six, landing together with at least one money symbol, starts the bonus game. During it, ordinary symbols are replaced by modifiers and money symbols. Each time one of these hits, the number of respins is reset to three.
Modifier symbols do one of two jobs. They can collect the values of the money symbols showing on the screen, or they can boost those values by up to 100x. At the end of the round, all money symbols are paid out.
Modifier symbols
These symbols collect all the visible money symbols or multiply their values, with a boost of up to 100x. Combined with the reset to three respins, they can extend the round for as long as new symbols keep landing.
RTP and what it costs
The only RTP on record is 96.55%, a house edge of 3.45%. Over a long run that is about $34.50 lost per $1,000 wagered. A hundred spins cost $0.69 on average at $0.20, $3.45 at $1 and $17.25 at $5.
Volatility and max win are both listed as not published. The 2,000x figure is a ceiling for one money symbol, not for a round, and a modifier of up to 100x can act on top of such values. The studio does not state how those combine, so no overall maximum can be given here.
Similar Pragmatic Play releases
Ancient Island Megaways and Zombie School Megaways list the same 96.55% RTP and a 2025 release. Bandit Megaways has 96.55% with a 5,000x max win, and Aztec Gems Megaways shows 96.58%. A little lower, at 96.5%, are 5 Lions Megaways 2 (8,000x) and Raging Waterfall Megaways. A free demo is available.
Pros
- Money symbols worth up to 2,000x the bet
- Respins reset to three whenever a symbol hits in the bonus
- Modifiers can boost money values by up to 100x
- Free official demo available
Cons
- No volatility label or overall max win in our catalogue
- Money symbols pay only with a collect symbol on reel six at the same time
- Our source text does not explain how ordinary symbols pay
Verdict
Captain Kraken Megaways is a collect-and-respin slot more than a classic ways game. The 96.55% RTP carries a 3.45% house edge, and with no published volatility or max win the free demo is the sensible first step. Large money symbols and 100x modifiers make a wide range of outcomes possible, so decide a spending limit in advance and treat the game as paid entertainment.
