Crossy Road is a casino slot game that draws inspiration from the popular classic video game of the same name. Developed by Freeplaytech Ltd., this online slot has captured the attention of many players due to its colorful graphics and entertaining gameplay.
Theme
The theme of Crossy Road revolves around the concept of crossing roads, a common scenario in various cultures where pedestrians must navigate through busy streets to reach their destination safely. The game features vibrant colors and Crossy Road review 3D-style animations that bring the classic video game to life on the reels. Players are immersed in an urban environment with buildings, trees, and vehicles passing by as they spin.
Design
The design of Crossy Road is reminiscent of the original video game but adapted for a casino slot experience. The 5×3 grid layout provides 25 paylines where players can stake their wagers to win rewards. The symbols used are inspired by classic arcade elements, such as cartoon-style pedestrians, traffic lights, road signs, and other urban items.
Symbols
The game features a diverse range of symbols that offer various payout amounts when combinations land on adjacent reels from left to right, starting with the first reel. The symbol values are listed below in order of ascending value:
- Low-value symbols: Road sign (£0.05 per combination), Pedestrian (£0.10-£1.00), Traffic Light (£0.20-£2.50)
- High-value symbols: Tree (£0.25-£5.00), Building (£0.30-£7.00), Sports Car (£1.00-£12.00)
In addition to these regular payouts, there are also a few special symbols worth mentioning.
Wild Symbol
The Wild symbol in Crossy Road is represented by the Game Logo and can substitute for any standard symbol except for Scatter and Bonus symbols when forming winning combinations.
Payouts
Crossy Road offers relatively low to moderate payout potential. While the maximum win of £12,000 may seem substantial, it’s essential to note that this amount is subject to specific conditions (see "Max Win" below). The slot game’s RTP (Return-to-Player) rate of 96% implies an average return on stake over time.
Wilds and Scatters
While not exactly standard, the Bonus symbol also plays a significant role in triggering various features within Crossy Road. Players can land anywhere between two to six Bonus symbols, depending on the round triggered (see "Bonus Features" below). These Bonuses trigger special gameplay mechanics or free spins.
Free Spins
Crossy Road’s Free Spin feature is one of its standout aspects, offering up to 50x multiplier and extra re-rolls. Players can accumulate various combinations during their game sessions to fill the Bonus Meter at the top right corner of the reels. Once it reaches a specific threshold (between two to six levels), a round initiates:
- "Free Spins" (5 spins with multiplier increase)
- "Super Free Spin" (three additional re-spins after first five)
- "Multi-Bonus Spin"
- Other combinations, resulting in additional 10-25 free spin sessions
