Introduction
Crossy Road is a 5-reel, 3-row online slot machine developed by Yggdrasil Gaming in collaboration with Hipster Whale, the creators of the popular mobile game Crossy Road. The slot combines elements from its hit video game counterpart and adds some fresh features to create an entertaining experience for players.
Theme
The theme is centered around a road where animals and other creatures are trying to cross it while avoiding traffic, which includes cars, trucks, buses, bicycles, motorbikes, taxis, police cars, ambulances, school buses, as well as Crossy Road pedestrians. This setting provides a colorful backdrop that immerses players in the game’s world.
Design
The graphics and animations of Crossy Road are vibrant and full of character. Each symbol on the reels features an animal or object trying to cross the road: Froggy, Pigeon, Panda Bear, Turtle, Birdie, Chick, Doggie, Cow Cat, Snake, Spider Monkey, as well as a few cars and other vehicles that serve as obstacles for these creatures.
Symbols
- Low-paying symbols are represented by basic animals such as Birdies (10x), Chicks (20x), Dogs (30x) Cats (40x).
- Medium paying symbols feature more complex creatures like Cows, Pigs and Snakes which can pay 100x, 150x or even 200x respectively.
- High-paying symbols are:
- Froggies: up to 300x
- Panda Bears: up to 350x
Payouts
To win a payout from the Crossy Road slot machine players must land at least three matching symbols across an active payline. The symbol combinations start with low paying wins and increase accordingly, as follows:
- Birdies (5 of kind): 50 coins
- Chicks (5 of kind): 150 coins
- Dogs (5 of kind): 250 coins
Wilds
In Crossy Road the Wild animal is represented by an Eagle which can appear on reels one through five to act as any other symbol necessary for forming winning combinations. In addition, it doubles all its wins.
Scatters
The scatter icon in this game is a bus with animated wheels that move whenever you see them. Landing three or more scatters awards Free Spins!
- 3 Scatters: 5 Free Spins
- 4 Scatters: 10 Free Spins
- 5 Scatters: 15 Free Spins
During the Free Spin rounds players can benefit from an increased Multiplier, which varies between each level.
Bonus Features
Crossy Road features three Bonus Symbols that offer various rewards based on the player’s performance throughout their session:
- "Speeding Ticket": The bonus activates when you land a certain number of winning combos while driving (betting). You will win money as soon as it is activated.
- "Distracted Driver": If your car goes off track, the round starts over with new combinations added until completion or maximum limit achieved during session play; what does this mean?
- "Traffic Jam": Another time-consuming part of gameplay begins now – here players participate in an extended free spin mode which features double rewards compared against regular gameplay.
Free Spins
When three Bus Scatters land, a random multiplier is assigned between 2x and 5x for Free Spin rounds awarded afterwards; another feature to increase the chances at success during bonus round games such as our slot review today – check it out below.
