Microgaming is one of the most prolific developers of online casino games with one of the largest portfolios in the business. But it also includes in its portfolio through the Quickfire platform some casino games from other software providers. This is to give its Australian online casino players greater variety. One such video pokie is Crocodopolis. You can play Crocodopolis at Microgaming online casinos like Casino Mate, Royal Vegas and Spin Palace.
Crocodopolis refers to the city of crocodiles and the online pokie has the popular ancient Egypt theme. Those Australian players conversant with ancient Egypt will connect this to the crocodiles rampant in the River Nile. The main symbol is the crocodile and he is referred to as Croc. Croc is depicted in the fashion of Egyptian deities with the beasts head on a man's body. Croc is the wild symbol and it can expand to cover the entire reel. Australian online casino players who like visual appeal in online pokies will enjoy the win animation in this symbol. The other thematic symbols include pyramids, scarab, ankh and scroll. The Egyptian deity symbol awards the highest line payout of 5,000 coins. The free spins feature is triggered when three pyramids symbols appear scattered on reels 2, 3 and 4. You will be awarded 12 free spins at doubled payouts. The free spins can be retriggered.
Crocodopolis includes an innovative and exciting feature called Slide a Wild. You can position the onscreen slider above any reel you want. The Croc wild symbol will appear only on that reel. On each reel the wild symbol will have different properties, so your selection should be based on the property you desire. On the reels to the left these properties are less attractive. But if the wild symbol lands on these reels you are likely to hit winning combinations more often. This setting is more suitable for conservative Australian online casino players. The wild symbols on the reels to the right have more attractive properties but winning combinations will be formed less often. So you will get larger payouts but less frequently. These settings will suit the more risk taking Australian online casino players.
For example when the wild symbol appears on reel 1 it acts as a 2x multiplier. At the other extreme, when the wild symbol appears on reel 5 it appears stacked on the reel and triples the payouts. On reels 2, 3 and 4 the property of the wild symbol lies in between the two extremes.
