Theme and Design Crossy Road is an online slot game developed by Playstudios, released in 2018. The game’s theme revolves around popular culture, incorporating recognizable characters from various franchises such as music bands, movies, and games. The design of the game features vibrant colors and a clean interface that pays homage to classic arcade games.
The game grid consists of five reels, each containing three symbols, and is set against an urban background with traffic lights and pedestrians crossing the road. As players spin the reels, various recognizable characters from different categories Crossy Road appear on the grid, adding a fun twist to traditional slot gameplay.
Symbols In Crossy Road, the standard symbols are divided into high-paying and low-paying categories:
- High-paying symbols include:
- Musician (5x-20x)
- Movie Starlet (3.5x-15x)
- Alien (2.5x-10x)
- Game Character (1.5x-7.5x)
- Low-paying symbols are:
- Numbered Pavers (0.5x-4x)
- Letter Blocks (0.25x-3x)
Payouts Players can win a maximum of 500 times their original bet in the base game, with wild cards and scatters contributing to this payout potential.
The Wild Symbol is represented by an Angry Bird logo, capable of substituting for all standard symbols except Scatters and other special icons. Landing five consecutive Wins pays up to 1000x players’ stake value within single rotations.
Wilds and Free Spins Crossy Road offers two bonus features – "Bonus Level" and the more common free-spins round.
In Crossy Road, getting three Bonus symbols on one of the bottom four rows activates the unique feature known as "Bonus Level". Here players take control over an Avatar’s road crossing journey in exchange for rewards such as Coins or cash. These levels offer multiple stages that must be completed – all levels but three don’t generate returns to their spin price.
Additionally, 3 Scatters landed on reels 2 through 5 will trigger Crossy Road free Spins feature; activating this mode provides ten rounds per one triggering occurrence while allowing them at the top tier and with minimum five of a kind combos paid back.
RTP Crossy Roads’ return to player rate (RTP) has been set at approximately 96% by developers for its base games only.
Crossy Road has different bet denominations which offer players wide betting flexibility. However, not all casinos offer maximum bets or progressive jackpots due in part because of their high return percentages offered at those levels.
Volatility There isn’t an officially reported volatility rate to compare it with other slot machines, though its free games and bonus rounds can provide rather large winnings compared to other online slots.
