The slot machine "Crossy Road" is a digital interpretation of the classic road-crossing arcade game from 1981. Developed by Hipster Whale Pty Ltd., it was first released for mobile devices on September 13, 2014.

Theme and Design

"Crossey Road" revolves around a whimsical take Crossy Road demo on the concept of road crossing, where players navigate their avatars through busy streets while avoiding obstacles like vehicles and other pedestrians. The game is characterized by its colorful, cartoonish design, reminiscent of classic arcade games from the 1980s. Each character has unique animations when moving or interacting with objects.

Symbols

The slot features a variety of symbols inspired by popular characters from different countries’ traffic regulations and road safety campaigns. Players will encounter pedestrians, cyclists, vehicles, police officers, crossing guards, and animals attempting to cross roads safely. These characters take on different roles as high-paying and low-paying combinations in the game.

Payouts

The payouts for winning combinations are relatively modest compared to other modern slots, but they offer an enticing variety of rewards nonetheless. Players can expect standard pays for sets of three or more matching symbols appearing on adjacent reels from left to right, with specific characters having varying payout amounts depending on how many appear in a single spin.

Wilds

"Crossey Road" introduces the concept of ‘wild’ and ‘non-wild’ pedestrians as part of its main gameplay mechanics. These pedestrian symbols take over for any other standard character in a winning combination except the bonus symbol, effectively acting as substitute characters to improve players’ chances at landing high-value wins.

Scatters

A notable component is the scatters feature – specific non-walking people that trigger different types of bonuses when they appear on-screen without forming any matching sequences with each other. These particular symbols are divided into three distinct groups based on their bonus functions.

Bonus Features and Free Spins

"Crossey Road" allows for four main features tied to these scatters:

• The ‘Free Game’ – Awards between 3 to 12 free spins, depending on where in the grid you got your first set of matching symbols. Each spin earns more than regular plays.
• "The bonus spin".
• The second kind gets random wilds for specific number of free spins during a single game
• Finally, another grants cash-based rewards upon activation.

When three non-walking individuals appear anywhere within visible areas at once on-screen and aren’t partaking as replacements elsewhere (meaning they act independently here), triggering what may occur varies between having five additional rolls awarded plus two more chances following them afterward – these ‘Free Games’.

The combination of wilds, scatters, and bonuses creates numerous potential winning combinations that provide an element of surprise with each play.

RTP

There isn’t a specific Return to Player (RTP) value released for Crossey Road by Hipster Whale. In many cases the developers leave this up to review from third-party testing services who can assess actual long-term player behavior, which in turn gets added onto any available general statistics regarding overall averages as provided elsewhere.

Volatility

Crossey road contains Medium-High volatility since it’s based on its numerous unique components combining together within single slot games.
