Crossy Road
The "Crossy Road" casino slot is a digital interpretation of the popular mobile game developed by Hipster Whale. This slot machine has captivated players with its colorful graphics, catchy sound effects, and nostalgic charm reminiscent of classic arcade games.
Theme and Design
The game takes inspiration from the original Crossy Road mobile app, featuring iconic characters such as chickens, dogs, cats, frogs, and even cows. Players are Crossy Road transported to a 2D pixel art world where they must navigate through traffic, avoiding obstacles while trying to get their animals across busy roads safely.
Design-wise, "Crossy Road" offers an engaging visual experience with bright colors and vibrant graphics. The slot’s layout is divided into five reels, each containing three symbols per row. Symbols on the reels are depicted in the same pixel art style as the original game, adding a touch of retro charm to the overall design.
Symbols
As expected from its source material, "Crossy Road" features an array of animal characters as high-paying symbols. These include:
- Frog (10x line bet)
- Dog (20x line bet)
- Cat (30x line bet)
- Chicken (40x line bet)
Lower-paying symbols are represented by:
- Red and Green traffic lights
- Yellow warning triangles
Wilds, scatters, and bonus features are integrated seamlessly into the slot’s design to offer exciting gameplay opportunities.
Payouts
Players can win in multiple ways depending on the combinations of symbols they land on the reels. Each animal character has a unique payout structure based on its position (leftmost reel or rightmost reel).
The Frog symbol pays 10x line bet when landing leftmost, while it only offers half that amount (5x) if positioned rightmost.
Similarly, other high-paying symbols follow this rule:
- Dog: 20x when leftmost and 10x when rightmost
- Cat: 30x for a leftmost win and 15x otherwise
- Chicken: 40x if on the leftmost reel and only 20x if it appears at any other position
It is essential to note that lower-paying symbols, such as traffic lights or warning triangles, provide smaller payouts regardless of their placement.
Wilds
Crossy Road features wilds which are represented by a bonus icon with three yellow lines on top of each other. These serve several purposes:
- Substitutes for other characters in winning combinations (excluding scatters and bonus icons)
- Multiplies winnings up to 5 times when forming part of a combination
Scatters
As expected from any slot, the Scatter symbol is integrated into "Crossy Road". Here, it takes on the form of a red warning cone.
When three or more scattered cones are landed anywhere within five adjacent reels, the player triggers the Crossy Frenzy bonus round. However, if only two appear, a ‘Frenzy Bonus’ is awarded instead – though with lesser rewards compared to landing at least three scatters.
Bonus Features
There aren’t many dedicated slots bonuses in "Crossy Road", but several unique features make gameplay more engaging:
1. Wild Streak : As previously mentioned, the Wild symbol has an ability to substitute for other characters (apart from Scatters) and increase payouts up to 5 times when part of a winning combination.
