Game Overview
Crossy Road is a popular online slots game developed by Yodo1 Games Ltd and licensed from Hipster Whale Pty Ltd. The game is an adaptation of the hit mobile app "Crossy Road" which was first released in 2014. This slot machine offers players a chance to immerse themselves in a colorful, pixelated world inspired by classic arcade games.
Game Theme
The Crossy Road slots experience is built around a lighthearted and nostalgic theme that pays homage to the original mobile game. The game’s design transports Crossy Road players into a vibrant pixel art world filled with recognizable characters from the original app, such as Frogs, Squirrels, Ducks, Chickens, Snails, Pigeons, and other beloved creatures.
The slot’s backdrop features a day-and-night cycle that changes periodically to provide an immersive experience. As players progress through levels or rounds, new backgrounds unlock, including rainbows, night skies filled with stars, snow-covered landscapes, and even underwater environments.
Game Design
Crossy Road slots boasts a unique design structure divided into horizontal lanes with randomly placed road elements like fences, gates, cars, buses, bicycles, motorcycles, trucks, taxis, trams, trees, rocks, puddles, clouds, rainbow arches, night sky objects (airplanes, stars), underwater items (fish schools, seaweed kelp), and much more. The lane layouts adapt based on the game’s current round or progressive level, increasing the complexity as players reach higher levels.
Symbols
The Crossy Road slot machine boasts a diverse library of symbols that include:
- High-paying symbols: Each type of character offers varying payouts ranging from 0.20x to 10000x (depending on combinations and bet amounts).
- Frogs
- Squirrels
- Ducks
- Chickens
- Snails
- Pigeons
- Cats
- Raccoon
These characters can appear as single symbols or part of various winning combinations.
- Low-paying symbols:
- Rocks: 0.10x to 1x (depending on combination)
- Trees, Clouds, and Rainbow Arches/Puddle: 0.05x each when appearing in a win line
- Wild Symbol: A cat representing the game’s wild symbol that serves as substitute for any character or low-value road item.
- Scatter Symbols are absent from this slot machine.
Payout System
The payout system is calculated based on winning combinations formed by adjacent symbols (starting from leftmost reel). High-paying characters pay out in a linear fashion, while low-pay symbols award less depending on combination occurrences. For example:
- Frogs:
- 2 matching Frogs = 0.20x to 1x
- 3 or more consecutive Frogs of any kind (wild cat as the fourth) reward a massive payout up to 10000x when combined with the wild symbol.
- High-paying combinations result from various sets, such as:
- Ducks in three columns + two Duck pairs in between for a larger payoff
- Snails forming one pair + another set of Snail matches.
Wilds and Bonus Features
No Wild Symbol substitutes are involved; instead:
- Cat appears: As each animal reaches its unique win threshold (0.10x to 10000x), the cat is added as an additional paytable row entry while continuing on subsequent rotations up until that slot position’s end.
A simple Wild does not exist since character wilds already act this way due to cross-symbology usage rules – but note how some have reported use where their ‘cat’ doesn’t always serve its role directly when needed though other elements fit properly enough because no dedicated substitutes work here beyond specific instances previously covered.
