Theme and Design
The slot game "Crossy Road" is a take on classic arcade gameplay, but with an added twist that sets it apart from other games of its kind. The theme revolves around caution when crossing roads, reminiscent of the 1970s classic Frogger. However, instead of jumping Crossy Road over moving cars or collecting power-ups, players navigate characters through busy city streets and countryside landscapes.
The game features a colorful and vibrant design, with pixel art graphics that evoke nostalgia for retro arcade games. The visuals are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional, providing clear information about the gameplay mechanics and symbols. Characters such as chicken, rabbit, dog, or cat take center stage on the reels, adding to the whimsical feel of the game.
Symbols and Payouts
The basic game is represented by five regular symbol types that offer various payouts: character icons (chicken, rabbit, dog, cat), a coin icon (representing free spins), a heart-shaped candy icon (bonus scatter), and a question mark icon (wild). The characters pay out the least amount among these symbols, ranging from 0.01 to 1 times the bet per combination.
The bonus scatter symbol is represented by the heart-shaped candy icon, which rewards players with up to 500x their stake if they collect three or more of them on an active line during a single spin. The wild question mark replaces all standard symbols except scatters and other special features.
Wilds
In "Crossy Road," there are no separate stacking reels that produce progressive wins like some slot games have, however the game is equipped with what they call ‘road hazard’ symbols, which are essentially 2x or 3x multiplier versions of some standard symbols (rabbit’s house or cow).
Gameplay Variations
While a maximum winning potential exists in this version and there are two bonus rounds available for triggering during regular gameplay.
The RTP or "Return to Player" figure isn’t provided as a fixed number but its high (over 90%).
