The Crossy Road slot machine is a visually appealing online game that captures the essence of classic arcade-style gameplay combined with modern slot machine mechanics. Developed by Yggdrasil Gaming, it’s an adaptation of the popular mobile Crossy Road game, which has become a staple among gamers worldwide.
Theme and Design
Crossy Road’s theme revolves around classic American roads where players navigate through various obstacles to collect rewards. The colorful design is reminiscent of childhood memories, with cartoonish characters, animations, and atmospheric effects that transport players to a world full of nostalgia. As the game loads, the background changes from daytime to nighttime, providing an immersive experience.
Symbols
The slot features 25 paylines across five reels, along with numerous symbols inspired by the original game:
- Road signs: ‘Stop’, ‘Go’, and others serve as high-paying wilds.
- Pedestrians (animals), joggers (humans), pets, and birds take part in rewarding combinations when appearing on the same lines.
- Fish swimming across roads act as low-value rewards, triggering bonus games and mini-games upon appearance.
Each symbol is intricately designed to fit seamlessly with the rest of the game. The ‘Frog’ and other characters add humor while delivering substantial payouts when players get five consecutive matches of a high-paying combination.
Payouts
High-payout wins depend on successful combinations across multiple paylines, which have varying multiplier values. Combinations are divided based on symbol type (pedestrians or road signs) to yield larger returns for each successful alignment of symbols in the same direction.
Wilds
The ‘Stop’ and ‘Go’ sign wilds have no value when isolated; however, they act as multipliers upon forming combinations with other symbols across paylines. In contrast, animals such as birds appear only once per combination while high-paying human characters require five consecutive matches on adjacent reels for a payout.
Scatter Symbols
There are two scatter types: Birds and Pets which serve different purposes but also share similarities.
- When three Bird scatters land anywhere in the game window, they award up to 100 Free Spins.
- If you get any animal from another category with at least three Pet or Animal (3-of-a-Kind), a mini-game will start. The mini-game rewards additional rounds of high-paying wilds.
Bonus Features
Yggdrasil Gaming offers several bonus features in Crossy Road:
- Free Spins: Three Bird scatter symbols award between 5 and 100 free spins.
- Bonus Game: Winning combinations that involve animal or bird characters trigger a mini-game where the reward amounts can increase dramatically through further matches of high-paying wilds.
RTP (Return to Player)
The Return-To-Player rate, calculated over millions of game rounds conducted independently by an external testing company according to industry guidelines and standards, has been rated at 95%.
Volatility and Betting Range
Crossy Road features medium volatility. Players can control bet sizes within a range from $0.20 up to $100 per spin in multiple currencies.
Max Win
The maximum possible payout on the Crossy Road slot machine is capped at x25000, where all five reels load with high-paying combination symbols.
