Crossing Luck in the City
Overview
Crossy Road is a casino slot developed by Yodo1 Games Ltd., based on the popular mobile game of the same name. The slot has been designed with a focus on providing an engaging gaming experience, while also incorporating various features and mechanics that are commonly found in modern slots.
Theme
The theme of Crossy Road revolves around a city environment, where players navigate through busy streets filled with pedestrians, vehicles, and other obstacles. This is reminiscent of the mobile Crossy Road game’s gameplay, where players control their character as they attempt to cross roads while avoiding various hazards. The slot’s design takes inspiration from this concept, incorporating elements such as road signs, traffic lights, and pedestrian crossings into its visuals.
Design
The Crossy Road slot features a 5×4 grid layout, with five reels and four rows of symbols displayed on the screen at any given time. The game has been designed to resemble a classic cityscape, complete with towering skyscrapers and bustling streets filled with activity. The background image is a key element in this design, showcasing a vibrant and dynamic urban environment that immerses players in the game’s atmosphere.
Symbols
The slot features a range of symbols inspired by the mobile game and its theme. These include various characters from the original Crossy Road game, such as cats, dogs, birds, and other animals. Additionally, players will encounter symbols depicting vehicles like cars, buses, and trucks, which are integral to navigating the city streets.
The game also includes a range of high-paying symbol types, including the Wild Symbol (represented by a giant cat) and two High-Paying Symbols: the Chicken Crosser and the Rabbit Runner.
Payouts
Crossy Road has an interesting payout structure, with various symbols offering different rewards based on their rarity. The most lucrative payouts are offered for combinations of five or more high-paying symbol types. Players can earn substantial sums by collecting multiple High-Paying Symbols, while also receiving smaller rewards for lower-scoring combinations.
Wilds
The Wild Symbol is represented by a giant cat and has the ability to substitute for any other symbol on the reels. When a combination occurs with at least one Wild, it expands horizontally across all four rows of symbols, offering significantly enhanced winning potential.
Scatters
There are no traditional Scatter Symbols in Crossy Road; however, the game does feature two special Bonus Features triggered by collecting specific combinations of High-Paying Symbols.
Bonus Features
The slot includes two bonus features inspired by classic games mechanics: Free Spins and a Special Bonus Feature called "Surprise Gift".
Free Spins:
- When three or four High-Paying Symbols appear on the reels, players activate their respective free spin rounds.
- Five of these symbols triggers 10 free spins in addition to the normal rewards associated with that particular symbol combination.
Special Surprise Gift:
- This feature can be triggered after a successful play-by-play round by clicking the "Surprise Gift" button below the main game grid on some screens. If you get three or four of High-Paying Symbols and if these symbols appear in sequence (e.g., left to right), there will automatically go into free spin mode.
- This function helps activate either regular Free Spins for 3 symbols, increased money awards when two symbols are placed one over the other horizontally starting from extreme edges where each horizontal line exists on bottom edge only.
Free Spins
The slot offers a number of additional bonuses to keep you engaged while your game. Players can get free spins with more points by collecting enough combination with less difficulty.
One notable bonus that rewards is a group play mode, which is active during regular games and doesn’t affect your earnings at all: it activates after a certain time limit when three symbols have appeared on the leftmost position within same row from starting extreme left corner to either side or horizontally across entire width below rightmost edge.
