The Crossy Road slot machine is an online casino game inspired by the popular mobile game of the same name. The game was developed by Yggdrasil Gaming in collaboration with Hipster Whale, the creator of the original Crossy Road game.
Theme and Design
As Crossy Road free demo one would expect from a game based on such a well-known title, the theme is centered around crossing roads while avoiding obstacles. Players are transported to a vibrant cityscape filled with colorful characters and iconic settings reminiscent of classic road-crossing games. The design is stylized in a cute and cartoonish way, making it appealing to both nostalgic players familiar with the mobile game and newcomers to online slots.
Symbols
The slot machine features an array of symbols inspired by the original Crossy Road gameplay:
- Animal characters: chicken, cat, dog, fish
- Vehicles: car, bike, skateboard
- Pedestrians: runner, child, man
These symbols are used in conjunction with various bonus and standard-paying combinations. As a nod to the mobile game’s unique art style, each symbol is animated when landed on an active payline.
Payouts
The payouts for winning combinations in Crossy Road range from 0.1x the total bet up to 100x, depending on which symbols are aligned and how many were involved in a win sequence. A specific set of high-paying animal and vehicle combinations award more substantial wins than lower-valued pedestrian symbols.
Wilds
A Wild symbol is not present in this slot machine; however, any animal or vehicle character landing next to each other creates an Animal Combo or Vehicle Combo, respectively – both contribute toward winning payouts based on the total number of matching characters within a 3-reel combination (5-of-a-kind).
There are three bonus symbols related to Wilds (discussed in detail below). Overall, there aren’t any traditional substitutes.
Scatters
Only one Scatter icon exists – that being the Character Combination Bonus. Landing it triggers the Animal Combo and Vehicle Combo features mentioned earlier; landing two or more will grant extra free spins based on their positions.
The slot has a Wild-like function triggered under certain conditions as part of bonus features but is not used like classic wild symbols do in other games – these instances are tied directly to specific rules for activating related elements within crossroad-themed rewards schemes.
Bonus Features
There isn’t exactly what traditional slots call ‘bonus’ rounds; however, when a Combination Bonus Scatters and an additional set (2 or more) appears at any point during gameplay without using the special Character Combination bonus mechanics – that is treated separately from other free spins awarded in regular base game combos:
- Free Spins feature tied directly to 5 of same character combination wins. Each Animal/vehicle will award extra free-spins based solely on landing additional matching symbols’ sets which can only occur during their active period.
Animal combinations are rewarded 15 or more FS each, as do Vehicles receive higher than initial amounts awarded with different bonus values (in between the range set in total potential value).
