With the unveiling of the arcade-inspired slot, Frogged, Bovada Casino is getting pretty retro. The premise of Frogged is similar to its ’80s inspiration, Frogger; you have to help get these determined frogs across a street full of speeding traffic. Every time a frog successfully crosses, a payout falls your way.
The Frog symbol is an expanding wild, so when he’s able to create a winning line, he’ll expand upwards and essentially hop across a three-lane street. All icons he hops over turn into wilds, maximizing the amount of wins you can pocket. Keep in mind, wins are only paid out on active paylines, and Frogged comes with 20 paylines, so to increase your odds of winning, activate the lines using the “Select Lines” button. The icons the frog will hop over when he expands range from regular cars, buses, race cars, trucks, bulldozers and pixelated 9s, 10s, Js, Qs, Ks and As.
If you grow tired of these symbols, unlocking the River Rapids Bonus Round will get you a new set of icons to play with. This can be done by landing three Bulldozer symbols on any of the five reels while you’re in Free Spins Mode (which is also triggered by three Bulldozers). The River Rapids Bonus comes with river-themed symbols, such as alligators, logs, turtles, snakes, and most importantly, a new kind of wild: the sticky wild.
The fly symbol is your sticky wild, and if you’re familiar with sticky wilds, you know that they go a long way to increasing payouts. Sticky wilds trigger re-spins while sticking to the reel. You can have multiple sticky wilds on screen as the reels continue to re-spin.
All in the all, Frogged is a straightforward slot game with a cool arcade theme and a good amount of bonus features. While it’s ideal for beginner players because of its easy gameplay, seasoned players will appreciate the shout-out to Frogger. Incorporating a classic from the golden age of video arcade games into a modern slot sets the stage for a feel-good game with a consistent payout structure.
