Crocodopolis

Crocodopolis, a 5 reel/25 line slot from Amaya, comes with prizes of $25,000 for those that wager big, and with scatter symbols, wilds, free spins and multipliers to keep the player's interest.

The game is a mix between Ancient Egypt and a focus on crocodiles. The desert and the sand dunes can be seen behind the reel section, with camels visible as well. The reels feature a slider button at the top, which the player can move, and decide on which of the reels he wants his wild to appear. Each reel can get a wild of a different type, and with a different multiplier. The Croc symbol which acts as a wild will show up on that reel for the rest of the game, at least until the player decides to move the slide again. The other symbols which make an appearance, besides the Croc, are the Egyptian characters, the scarab jewel, the cross, the scroll and the card symbols, starting with the 9, and going through 10, Jack, Queen, King and finally, Ace.

The game, with its 25 lines, accepts a single coin as a wager on each one, and since the maximum coin value is $5, the most you can wager here is $125. The game's biggest prize, of 5,000 coins, can be worth as much as $25,000, and the player will need the combination of five Egyptian character symbols to get it.

The selection of the wild is probably the most important thing in the game, at least because it sets it apart. It's not something we'd hope would catch on though, since this new feature is just masking that only one of five reels gets a wild symbol, and that's just not enough, even if you add a 3x multiplier to it. Since each reel gives the player something different, we'll cover what each wild does next. The first reel Croc comes with a 2x multiplier. The second reel gives a 3x multiplier if the Croc contributes to a combo. The third reel Croc expands, and covers the reel entirely, but there is no multiplier. The fourth reel Croc will expand, and will give you a multiplier of 3x. Finally, the fifth reel Croc takes all the positions on that reel, and gives a 3x multiplier.

The other interesting feature of the game is the scatter pyramid symbol, which will give 12 spins for free if there are at least three symbols, with multipliers of 2x.

The game's not bad actually, despite its attempts at masking a not so great wild under a cool sounding feature, and you should give it a chance.
