Crocoman

The enduringly popular Crocodile Dundee provides the theme for this slot from UK-based Platipus Gaming. Set not in Australia but on the African Savannah, this title retains the theme’s rugged charm, while adding a signature expanding wild feature when free spins are triggered.

Theme

The vast wilderness of the African Savannah provides the backdrop for this slot, with desert expanse broken up by mountains in the background, baobab trees in the foreground, and a roaring lion on the periphery. Gaming symbols include crocodiles, water buffalo, elephants, and tigers, as well as the playing card symbols ace through ten. Mick Dundee acts as the scatter symbol and wild symbol, while also offering a top prize of 200x for five-of-a-kind. The soundtrack invokes the classic film with playful orchestral colors and a vintage aesthetic.

Betting Options and Functions

Attention to detail in the wild can be a matter of life and death – fortunately for players, the stakes are considerable lower in Crocoman, as the gaming fundamentals, while never sloppy. do leave some room for improvement. There are ten paylines, each paying from left to right. Line bet is adjustable from 0.01–0.20, for a somewhat narrow overall betting range of 0.10–2.00 times the betting currency. Autoplay is available for up to 1000 spins at a time, but players should exercise caution, as there are no optional stops for loss limits. Detailed paytable information and game rules are available on separate screens. The overall theoretical return to player ratio lies slightly below industry norms at 94.98%.

Features

There’s really only one bonus feature in this slot, though the design team definitely goes the extra mile to make it a memorable one. The appearance of three or more scatter symbols on the reels awards ten free spins. During the feature, one icon will be selected at random as the special expanding symbol – when involved in a winning combination, any and all such symbols will expand to fill their entire reel. In this way, it’s possible to massive wins, especially if the selected symbol is a high-paying one.

Our Take

With Crocoman, Platipus Gaming takes a charming theme and creates a slot that, while not particularly remarkable, is certainly worth player’s while. The special expanding symbol adds a memorable element to free spins, although other titles certainly will offer more in terms of bonus features, as well as RTP.
