Introduction to Crossy Road Slot
The crossy road theme has been a staple of mobile gaming since its inception in 2014 when it was first introduced as an endless runner game by Hipster Whale, Crossy Road review Inc. The slot machine version, developed by Barcrest Games and later acquired by Scientific Games Corporation, is based on the classic concept but offers unique twists to attract players seeking excitement and potential rewards.
Theme and Design
The slot’s design follows closely with its predecessor, featuring vibrant colors and cartoonish characters set amidst a road backdrop. The interface allows for easy navigation between various features, such as betting options and game settings. Players will recognize familiar symbols from the original game but adapted to fit within a 5×4 grid reel setup common in many modern slots.
Symbols
Gameplay revolves around these symbols:
- Low-value icons represent characters (e.g., cat, dog) commonly associated with the series.
- Medium-value signs depict vehicles, including cars and trucks.
- High-value items, such as food or other power-ups from the game’s predecessor, appear in different colors.
Payouts
