The Crossy Road slot machine is a licensed adaptation of the popular mobile game of the same name. Developed by Yggdrasil Gaming in collaboration with Ketchapp, it brings to life the colorful and whimsical world of Endless Highway driving. This 5-reel, 10-payline slot offers an immersive gaming experience that combines stunning graphics with engaging bonus features.
Theme and Design
The Crossy Road slot machine is set against a vibrant urban landscape where players can drive through various zones filled with traffic lights, roads, buildings, and pedestrians. The background design resembles a stylized Crossy Road cityscape with cartoonish skyscrapers and streetlights. Each zone has its own distinct theme, adding to the overall atmosphere of excitement and fun.
As for the symbols, they are a mix of characters from the mobile game and generic road icons such as cars (classic car, bus, motorcycle), animals (cat, dog, rabbit), pedestrians (man walking, woman, child), traffic lights, billboards, and warning signs. The high-paying symbols include characters like Chuck Norris, Pac-Man’s ghosts, and other well-known personalities.
Payouts
In terms of payouts, the Crossy Road slot machine offers a maximum payout multiplier of 10,000x for five classic car symbols. This may seem relatively low compared to some modern slots with much higher multipliers, but it is balanced by the game’s generous RTP (Return-to-Player) and volatility.
Wilds
The Wild symbol in Crossy Road is represented by a golden high-paying road sign labeled "Wild". It appears only on reels 2-5 and can replace any regular icon to form winning combinations. While not particularly impressive, its presence does contribute to the overall excitement of forming wins.
Scatters
There are two Scatter symbols: one for triggering Free Spins and another that serves as a bonus symbol in some special features (more details below).
The main Scattering road sign is labeled "Crossy Road" and appears only on reel 1. Landing three, four or five Scatters triggers 10-15 Free Spin rounds with fixed multipliers of up to 50x.
Bonus Features
One unique feature that makes Crossy Road stand out from other slots is its use of mini-games instead of a single bonus round. Each zone has specific rules and conditions for awarding free spins or bonuses:
- Free Spins Zone : The game begins with the Free Spin zone, where players can earn rewards such as 15 Free Spin rounds with fixed multipliers.
- Pedestrian Zone : In this zone, a pedestrian is randomly selected from various walking directions (up to left, up right, or down) and will either award points (in-game credits), provide additional free spins, or end the bonus prematurely by moving into danger zones like oncoming traffic lights.
The third zone has yet another system that occasionally rewards additional Free Spin rounds with increased multipliers.
