Crossing Paths with Fortune

Crossy Road is a 5-reel, 4-row video slot game developed by Yggdrasil Gaming. The game takes players on an exciting adventure through various environments, reminiscent of popular mobile games Crossy Road and Fruit Ninja. Upon closer inspection, this slot reveals its unique mechanics and features that set it apart from other online slots.

Crossy Road Theme

Crossy Road has a distinct theme inspired by the classic arcade games Crossy Road and Fruit Ninja. The game takes place in different locations such as forests, cities, farms, and even at sea. Each location is characterized by distinctive graphics, sounds, and background music that immerse players in the experience.

The main objective of the game is to traverse through these environments while avoiding obstacles like cars, trains, and other hazards. Players are tasked with collecting various items such as animals, fruits, and other objects along their journey. This unique blend of mechanics makes Crossy Road stand out among other online slots.

Design

Crossy Road features colorful graphics reminiscent of mobile games from the past. The game’s UI is clean and intuitive, making it easy for players to navigate through various options like bet level, coin value, and auto-play settings. The in-game symbols are also designed with care, featuring illustrations that reflect the theme.

The slot’s design effectively combines visual elements like fonts, graphics, and animations to create an immersive experience. Players can switch between different locations by clicking on the map located at the bottom of the screen.

Symbols

Crossy Road features various standard playing cards (9-A) as symbols, which pay out according to their value and combinations formed. However, it also includes several special symbol categories that contribute significantly to gameplay:

• Fruit Icons : These high-paying symbols are inspired by popular fruits like apples, bananas, grapes, oranges, lemons, watermelons, and pineapples.
• Animal Icons : Players can collect various animals like fish, birds, cows, pigs, sheep, chickens, dogs, cats, snakes, spiders, frogs, and turtles to earn higher rewards.
• Food Items : This category includes different food items such as coffee cups, tea pots, sandwiches, pizza slices, sushi rolls, burgers, milkshakes, ice cream cones, candy bars, donuts, pretzels, bagel with salmon, popcorns, chips, cookies, and brownies.

Payouts

Crossy Road features standard payout tables for both the Wild symbol (the word WILD) and all other paying symbols. The slot awards players according to their coin value settings:

• Wild : Pays up to 1:20 times the bet per line.
• Fruit Icons : Each icon has multiple winning combinations with payouts ranging from x1 to x50 times the total bet.

Wilds

Crossy Road features both fixed and free spin Wild symbols. The game does not provide any information about wild reels or rolling reels but mentions that at least one of them is available on each free spin round, replacing any standard reel symbol to create new combinations.

During normal gameplay (not in a Free Spins feature), only the WILD symbol is considered a substitute for other paying symbols. It doesn’t pay out by itself and triggers no bonuses when it forms part of an eligible combination that leads to free spins or some additional prize money beyond what has already been allocated in winning combinations.

Scatters

In Crossy Road, there’s another important scatter icon called the WILD symbol which serves a completely different role – Wild is also present as one out-of-the-twelve available reel positions can be set aside for only this particular high-payout feature.
