The Crossy Road casino game is an online slots variant based on the popular 2014 arcade-style video game of the same name. Developed by Free Play Tech, a UK-based gaming company, and published by Scorpion Gaming Ltd., this slot machine combines the nostalgic appeal Crossy Road of classic arcade games with modern slot features.
Theme
The Crossy Road theme centers around a 1980s-inspired American highway setting, replete with retro-style graphics and an upbeat soundtrack. The game’s aesthetic draws inspiration from classic arcade titles like Pac-Man and Donkey Kong. Players can immerse themselves in the vibrant atmosphere of the game, complete with pixelated visuals reminiscent of old-school video games.
Design
The slot’s design features a 3-reel format with five rows per reel, resulting in 25 possible paylines on each spin. The reels are set against a colorful backdrop depicting an American highway at sunset. Symbols used within the game include various iconic arcade elements such as pixelated animals like frogs and ducks, cars, trucks, bicycles, cats, chickens, dogs, fish, bears, and even pedestrians walking along the road.
Symbols
The symbols in Crossy Road are categorized into two groups: high-value symbols (cars) and low-value symbols (animals). The game also features a special Wild symbol represented by a red car with the words ‘WILD’ displayed prominently. When it appears on a payline, this Wild can replace any other standard symbol to create winning combinations.
Payouts
Players have the chance to win various prizes based on their wins using these symbols. The highest payout available for five consecutive cars across all lines is 5x multiplier with each car valued at £0.50 (in most cases). Five frogs or ducks will grant a relatively lower prize worth £10, and smaller payouts apply when three matching symbols appear.
Wilds
As mentioned earlier, the Wild symbol substitutes any other standard icon to assist in producing winning combinations. When combined with a high-value car, this can significantly improve your potential gains. Note that unlike traditional slot machines, there are no specific rules dictating how many times a player may use their free spins or win multipliers per session.
Scatters
The Crossy Road game also features scatters in the form of two unique elements: ‘Game Title Logo’ and ‘Bicycle Symbol.’ However, neither plays a role similar to traditional scatter symbols often found in casino games. This unusual implementation deviates from conventional slot machines but may enhance player experience by including more varied interactive elements.
Bonus Features
As players progress through Crossy Road’s various levels or ‘crossing points,’ they unlock special achievements and rewards which could potentially lead them closer toward higher rank or better prize combinations within given rounds. Additionally, completing a level grants access to different in-game bonus features like temporary multiplier boosters or coin bonuses.
Free Spins
Players who earn specific amounts of coins at the end of each session receive 10-50 free spins depending upon their score achieved during this particular round; these rewards usually come with an additional set number of bonus rotations which significantly amplify possible payout potential.
