In recent years, online casinos have witnessed a surge in popularity of video slots inspired by classic arcade games. One such game that has gained immense attention is Crossy Road, developed by Yggdrasil Gaming and released under their partnership with 2K Games. This slot machine brings the nostalgic charm of classic arcade games to the world of online gaming.
Theme
takes its inspiration from the classic mobile Crossy Road game, Crossy Road, which challenges players to navigate a character across various roads while avoiding traffic. The game’s theme revolves around the concept of crossing streets and enjoying a day out in a suburban setting. Players are transported to a quaint suburban area with houses, parks, trees, and other urban features, reminiscent of classic American towns.
Design
The slot machine boasts vibrant visuals that transport players back to the nostalgia-filled world of arcade games. The game’s backdrop features rolling hills, houses, and trees, all animated in 3D graphics. Symbols include road signs (Caution/Stop), animals (e.g., dog, cat, rabbit), vehicles (car, bus, train), pedestrians, and other characters inspired by the original mobile game.
Symbols
The slot machine includes a total of nine regular symbols. The lowest-paying symbol is the classic letter "G" from the title character’s name. Paying symbols include a yellow animal, an orange road sign, a dog, a rabbit, a house, a cat, and other characters inspired by the mobile game.
Payouts
Crossy Road slot features medium to high volatility, making it suitable for players looking for exciting gameplay but not excessive wins. Players can bet between $0.20 and $200 per spin on all 5 reels with up to 10 paylines. The maximum win potential stands at $50,000.
Wilds
The game’s Wild symbol takes the form of a traffic light in yellow, orange, or red coloration (representing go/stop signals). It substitutes for any regular paying symbol but does not replace scatters or bonus symbols. Wins resulting from wild substitutions are also multiplied by 2.
Scatters
There is no Scatter symbol specifically listed in this review; however, it appears there is an extra feature related to animals, that plays the role of a ‘scatter.’ The animal is represented here and will multiply wins when appearing on reels.
