Crossy Road is a popular casino slot game developed by Hypnosis Entertainment AB, released in 2019 for mobile devices and online casinos. The game is an adaptation of the classic Frogger arcade game, where players navigate their character through traffic to reach its destination.
Theme
The Crossy Road theme is set in a cartoonish world inspired by the original Frogger game. Players are transported Crossy Road to a colorful cityscape with roads, buildings, and pedestrian crossings. The atmosphere is light-hearted and humorous, making it appealing to players of all ages.
Design
Graphically, the slot features vibrant colors, cute character designs, and engaging animations. The background graphics and character illustrations were created by Matt Hall, a well-known artist in the gaming industry. The game's design is consistent with mobile casinos' increasing focus on visually appealing slots.
Symbols
Crossy Road has 5 reels, each containing three symbols. Players can expect to see various characters inspired by the original Frogger game, such as road-crossing pedestrians (pedestrian, granny, and businessperson), animals, trees, flowers, clouds, and vehicles like trucks, buses, bicycles, motorcycles, taxis, ambulances, school buses, streetlights, trash cans, billboards, and city map symbols.
These characters are not only visually appealing but also pay out winnings when matched in winning combinations on the reels. There is no wild symbol or multiplier present in this slot game.
Payouts
Payouts for Crossy Road's symbol combinations vary significantly depending on their rarity, appearance frequency, and bonus prizes awarded during free games or special modes (when possible). Below are some examples of payouts based on regular game rules:
- Common symbols: pedestrian (~1.3x bet per winning line), granny (~2x bet per winning line).
- Uncommon symbols: businessperson (~3.5x bet per winning line), animal (~4.9x bet per winning line), bicycle, motorcycle.
Wilds and Scatters
Unfortunately, there is no wild symbol present in the game's regular reel set. Players can expect a special feature in some of these games when they are able to play certain free bonus modes which come with an enhanced scatter symbol function giving better payouts for combinations made only through scatters during any given spin at times.
There isn't any actual high-paying (high multiplier, multiple winning lines) or additional (e.g., random wild addition upon each spin activation in any other slot game).
Bonus Features and Free Spins
Crossy Road features various bonus modes which players can access by reaching a specific level threshold while playing through levels within the regular game. Upon entering these special areas:
- Level-based gameplay rewards high-scoring combinations made with scatters (during each spin as well), resulting in either standard or enhanced payouts upon every occurrence and at times even awarding more of it with some other functions occurring.
Free Spins
Players do have an option for free spins which activates certain types of bonus modes when they enter specific levels while playing through this one. During the game players can also get additional chances, e.g., as a high-stakes gamble on their bets where it all depends on winning with no risk taken – only money is won back; though that would be another thing altogether for now.

RTP: This game features a 96% return-to-player rate.
Volatility Level: The slot game itself is set as being 'Low-Medium' volatility making it perfect for many players who have been playing games that often include wilds and various multipliers.
