In a bid to transport players back into the classic era of slot machines with modern features, Barcrest Games released "Crossy Road" – an intriguing online slot game that combines elements from its popular mobile application and brings them together for thrilling gaming experience.
At first glance, it is difficult not to draw comparisons between this casino slot machine and its inspiration on mobile devices. With the inclusion Crossy Road free demo of well-known graphics from the app such as Chuck E. Cheese’s frog and a cat walking over bridges or roadblocks, "Crossy Road" immediately sets itself apart in comparison with other typical slot titles available today.
The visuals are characterized by clean lines and vibrant colors giving an exciting presentation throughout gameplay while also drawing similarities to some of the more popular cartoon shows currently trending among younger audiences. Although its visual theme focuses primarily on a city setting at sunset, its background is not particularly detailed but remains simple and minimalistic compared to other slot machine releases.
The game consists of 6 reels with multiple rows offering a grid of 20 fixed paylines that allow for various combinations while minimizing the chance of wild or scatters. Symbols used include different animal characters each displaying varied betting options; in particular, cats appear most frequently as they occupy five distinct positions within the grid making them quite beneficial during gameplay.
The value symbols are: Cat (low-paying), Chuck E Cheese’s Frog, Dog and a Penguin (medium paying); high-value ones including a Road Block, Car, Bus, Train and Helicopter. With all of these animals placed on the playing screen simultaneously it may look like chaos but in reality, there is strategy behind choosing which symbols appear together.
In terms of payouts for each symbol combination, lower value cat rewards players up to 15 times their initial stake when three or more are aligned horizontally with other cats either above and below them forming a ‘W’ shape configuration that spans two rows.
