Croc Chase

Croc Chase Review

After a brief sojourn, the developer studio returns to Australia. You're about to join brave crocodile hunters and catch wild reptiles for a top prize of 2,000x the stake.

Croc Chase - Slot Outlook

The design in the Croc Chase slot is quite simple. The cartoonish graphics are pleasing to the eye, but the game looks a tad aged, and you feel like playing a 10-year old slot rather than a new title. The view here is dominated by a 5x4 reel set producing 40 ways to play on each spin, and behind it, a serene tropical pond makes up the backdrop. The soundtrack is pretty lovely, as a relaxing ukulele song adds a final touch to the atmosphere. However, you're likely to press the mute button due to the arcade sound effects that blast off your speakers when you hit wins or trigger bonus features.

You'll need to equip at least $0.4 to join the crocodile hunts, and the highest betting option goes up to $100 per spin. Powered by a medium volatile math model, Croc Chase comes with an RTP of 96.05%, which is a whisker above the average industry level. Thus, wins should occur fairly often, though, don't expect to get showered in diamonds here as the game's max win is only 2,000x the stake.

The paytable in the Croc Chase slot counts 10 regular symbols that are split into two categories. On the lower side, we see classic A-10 royals, while the premium lot includes in ascending order platypuses, frogs,  jeeps, firepits, and dogs. Landing wins requires landing at least 3 matching symbols adjacently starting from the leftmost reel, and 5-of-a-kind wins are worth from 2x to 6.25x the stake. Helping you out are 3 Wild symbols that substitute for any other regular symbols and pay up to 50x of the bet for a full line win. The regular one is the Wild Girl symbol, and the other two are Wild Hunter and Wild Crocodile that play into the features, explained below.

Croc Chase - Bonus Features

Available both in the base and the bonus games, the Wild Hunter symbol always appears Stacked up to 1x4 in size. When a full Wild Hunter symbol lands anywhere on the reels on any base game spin, the Respins feature will be triggered. On each Respin, the Wild Hunter symbol moves by one position to the left, and the Respins continue until it reaches the leftmost reel and fades from the grid.

Should 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols drop on the reels during the base game, players will receive 5 Free Spins and scoop a cash prize of 2x, 25x, or 500x the stake respectively. Depending on the number of triggering Scatters, players will get either a 1x, 2x, or 3x Wild Hunter Multiplier that is applied to all wins it takes part in during the bonus. You start with a Wild Hunter on reel 5, and much like in the Respins, it moves to the left with each spin. However, the feature can be extended by landing a Wild Crocodile symbol on reel 5. This will reset the number of spins back to 5, as well as the Wild Hunter symbol will return to reel 5. On top of that, any retrigger increases the Wild Hunter Multiplier by 1x, up to 20x.

Croc Chase - Slot Verdict

To sum up, the Croc Chase slot is a fairly enjoyable game with a decent mix of exciting features and a solid math model. The graphics might not appeal to everyone, not to mention the mid-variance and a relatively low max win of 2,000x the stake, but those who are OK with the 'downsides' won't leave disappointed here, as the features laid down here are likely to keep punters hooked onto their screens.
