Overview of the Game
Crossy Road is a popular online casino slot developed by Yggdrasil Gaming, released in 2020. The game takes inspiration from the iconic mobile app of the same name, where players navigate their characters across busy Crossy Road for free roads and other obstacles to reach home safely. This slot adaptation captures the essence of the original game, blending nostalgia with modern gaming elements.
Theme and Design
The Crossy Road casino slot boasts a vibrant and colorful design that mirrors the original game’s art style. The 5×3 grid is surrounded by a cityscape at night, complete with streetlights, traffic lights, and buildings. Players navigate through this bustling environment as they spin the reels in search of rewards. Each symbol on the reels corresponds to characters from the original mobile app, including pedestrians, vehicles, and even pets.
Symbols
Crossy Road features a total of 11 symbols on its paytable:
- Low-value symbols include various pedestrian types (Girl, Boy, Dog, Cat, Bird) with relatively low payouts.
- The middle-range values are represented by three different vehicle categories: Taxi, Bus, and Train.
- High-paying symbols consist of two pedestrians in sunglasses (Mr./Ms. Sunglasses) who pay out significantly more.
Payouts
Each symbol’s payout can be viewed on the paytable. Crossy Road follows a standard slot game payout structure:
- Low-value pedestrian payouts range from 0.05 to 1x stake per combination
- Vehicle symbols pay between 2 and 20x stakes for five-of-a-kind combinations
- High-paying Mr./Ms. Sunglasses have maximum rewards of up to 50x the total bet
Wilds
Crossy Road does not feature traditional Wilds but instead uses a separate mechanic:
- The game’s logo serves as both an Expanding Reel and a Mega Symbol in free spins, significantly increasing payout possibilities during bonus rounds.
Scatters
There is no dedicated Scatter symbol on Crossy Road. Players activate the Bonus Game (Free Spins) through various combinations or by triggering a specific combination of high-paying symbols during regular gameplay.
Bonus Features
- Crossy Rewards : This game offers up to 200,000 Free Spins as rewards for meeting daily targets.
- Level Up System : Earn experience points and level up your character between spins to unlock bonuses like increased chances to trigger free spins or higher multipliers.
Free Spins
When the Bonus Game is triggered:
- A randomly selected high-paying symbol (Car, Bus, Taxi) becomes locked on a reel for one of three potential combinations.
- A 20 Free Spin multiplier applies to any win during bonus rounds.
- Multiple re-spins are possible until all locked symbols disappear.
Return-to-Player Rate
The official RTP for Crossy Road stands at approximately 94.50% , ensuring relatively fair odds and a balanced house edge.
Volatility
Crossy Road can be classified as High Volatility, meaning it features:
- Unpredictable payouts due to low-frequency winning combinations
- Increased potential for big wins
However, this volatility also implies that the slot is more prone to streaks of losses in between occasional high-paying outcomes.
Betting Range and Maximum Win
The minimum stake starts at 0.10 per spin (all bets are cash bets). The maximum allowed bet is €100/£80/CHF120/AUD160.
When taking advantage of the Crossy Rewards system, which provides up to a 2x multiplier on top of the Max win value, this figure increases significantly:
- The slot offers an enormous theoretical Maximum Win potential.
However, no actual max payout or wins have been officially confirmed by Yggdrasil Gaming due to various platform and jurisdiction limitations.
