Overview of Crossy Road
The Crossy Road slots machine is an online gaming machine developed by Yodo1 Games and released in 2018 under a license from Hipster Whale, the creators of the original Crossy Road mobile game. The slot machine combines the theme of the popular endless runner game with modern casino Crossy Road gambling games’ entertainment features.
Theme Design
The Crossy Road slots machine takes its visual inspiration from the original Crossy Road game, bringing players into an immersive and recognizable 8-bit pixelated environment reminiscent of classic arcade games. This design decision provides a distinct gaming experience while leveraging brand recognition to appeal to existing fans of the mobile game series.
Crossing through different scenes inspired by real-life settings like countryside roads, city streets, forests, beaches, and deserts creates engaging visual variety throughout each spin. Character illustrations are crisp, colorful, and faithful representations of those from the original mobile game.
Symbols
Players can look forward to encountering various characters from Crossy Road when spinning reels on this machine. These character symbols serve as high-paying icons within the slot’s 5-reel grid layout:
- Birds : Representing small animals like frogs, rabbits, and birds in greenery-heavy areas.
- Cars : Vehicles speeding across city roads or highways create a constant blur of movement between reels.
- Chicken (Wild) : Taking on its standard wild role but uniquely tied to the slot’s game mechanics described below.
- Fisherman : A static figure casting a line in various underwater settings.
Payouts and Symbols Values
These characters each come with their own unique payout values across specific winning combinations within a sequence of 3 or more adjacent reels either horizontally (from leftmost) from the first reel, diagonally, or vertically. Each character’s monetary value when part of such a combination increases progressively according to how many subsequent matching symbols appear in line.
- Lowest Payouts : Frogs ($2-$10), Rabbits ($4-$20)
- Highest Payouts (by single-symbol count): Cars ($16-$80)
Additionally, the Chicken character is designated as wild, capable of replacing any other symbol except scatters to help players secure more combinations.
Wilds
Given above, this chicken acts as both a basic and specific type:
- Normal Wild : As standard within Crossy Road slot machine; can replace most symbols apart from Scattered characters.
- Specific Wild Symbol Usage: Only applicable for ‘Frog’ & ‘Rabbit’.
