Game Overview

Crossy Road is a popular online casino game developed by Yodo1 Games, which has since been acquired by Disney subsidiary Glu Mobile Inc. The game was initially released as an app for mobile devices and later adapted into a slot machine by various developers. This review will focus on the Crossy Road slots version available at several online casinos.

Theme

The theme of this Crossy Road slot is based on the popular mobile game, Crossy Road, which itself is inspired by classic arcade games such as Frogger. Players are immersed in an urban environment with various obstacles and characters from the original game. The colorful graphics and engaging soundtrack complement the overall atmosphere of adventure and excitement.

Design

The design of this slot machine features a 5×4 grid layout with up to 40 paylines, although players can adjust the number of active lines according to their preferences. Symbols are inspired by elements from the mobile game, such as birds, animals, pedestrians, and vehicles, along with special symbols representing items like flowers and umbrellas.

The game’s background is a vibrant representation of an urban landscape at sunset or sunrise, creating a soothing effect while maintaining an energetic tone suitable for fast-paced gameplay. The overall design effectively transmits the spirit of the mobile game into its slot counterpart.

Symbols

As mentioned earlier, symbols in this slot machine are divided between low-paying and high-paying ones, along with special symbols that enhance the gameplay experience. Here’s a breakdown:

• Low-paying symbols include: 9-Ace (valued from 0.10x to 1x bet amount), birds (3-6x bet amount each)
• High-paying symbols include:
  • Animal symbols like rabbits and squirrels (7, 8x bet amount each)
  • Pedestrian and cyclist symbols (12, 18x bet amount each)
  • Vehicle symbols including cars and trucks (25x to 60x bet amount each)
• Special high-scoring symbols include: Flowers and umbrella icons, awarding up to a 150x bet amount when combining three of them

Payouts

The Crossy Road slots game features various winning combinations for the regular and special symbols. Combining identical symbols across multiple paylines can result in sizeable payouts.

• Low-paying symbols typically offer one coin or between two coins per symbol
• High-paying animal, pedestrian, cyclist, vehicle symbols reward more substantial sums but don’t exceed five to ten times a single bet value

The Crossy Road slot offers generous payout values for its higher-scoring special icon. These symbols appear with relatively low frequency and award the largest potential wins:

• Combination of three flower icons can yield 15x the original stake, when all four are included (100% increase)
• The umbrella symbol alone is less valuable but increases winning amounts when part of a group

Wilds

In this game, the slot’s wild emblem takes on several roles due to its adaptable nature. When displayed as part of an existing combination, it counts for that specific character and fills gaps.

However, in instances where two special (high-paying) symbols land on adjacent positions but don’t share the same high value, a Wild may replace any symbol without creating a win opportunity; though if present in those spaces initially before receiving other wilds its functionality is to complete existing pay lines resulting from another win attempt.
