Game Basics
Crab Trapâ„¢ is a 6-reel, 4-row video slot with the Scatter Pays mechanic. The game features Re-Spins with additional payouts for Crab symbols, and Free Spins.
The game is played with scattered combinations of symbols and different bet values. 5 or more high-win symbols, 6 or more medium-win symbols and 7 or more low-win symbols appearing anywhere on the reels in the main game or Free Spins award a scattered win. Simultaneous scattered wins from combinations of different symbols are added. Only the highest win per scattered combination is paid.
A scattered win is equal to the value shown in the Paytable. Symbol payout values are dynamic and change in accordance with the selected bet value.
Re-Spins
Blue Boat Symbols and Red Boat Symbols
Blue Boat symbols can appear anywhere on the reels during regular spins in the main game and in Free Spins. Each Blue Boat symbol adds a Trap frame to its own position and 1 to 5 Trap frames on random positions without any Trap frames.
A Red Boat symbol can appear on reel 4 during regular spins in the main game and on reel 3 in Free Spins. In the main game, it appears if there are 5 or more Trap frames on the reels and awards a Re-Spin, while in Free Spins a Re-Spin is awarded every time the Red Boat symbol appears. A Re-Spin is also awarded at the end of a regular spin in the main game or Free Spins if there is a Blue Boat symbol and the Trap frames added to all positions on the reels. If the Blue Boat and the Red Boat appear simultaneously, the Red Boat awards Re-Spins after the Blue Boat adds the Trap frames. During Re-Spins, scattered winning combinations cannot appear on the reels, and only wins from Crab symbols are awarded.
Whenever the bet is changed, all Trap frames are saved with the bet and disappear from the reels. Whenever the bet is changed back, they are restored together with the bet.
Note: The saved data is subject to expiration.
Crab Symbols
Crab symbols can appear in the main game, Re-Spins, and Free Spins. Single Crab symbols can appear anywhere on the reels, 2×2 colossal Crab symbols can appear on reels 1–2 and 4–5, and 3×3 colossal Crab symbols can appear on reels 1–3 and 4–6. Colossal Crab symbols may be fully or partially displayed depending on how the reels land.
Each Crab symbol appearing on the reels is assigned a value according to the following table:
| Single Crab symbol | 1, 2, 5, or 10 times the bet |
| 2×2 colossal Crab symbol | 10, 20, 50, or 100 times the bet |
| 3×3 colossal Crab symbol | 100, 200, 500, or 1000 times the bet |
If a Crab symbol appears on a position with a Trap frame during a Re-Spin, another Re-Spin is awarded. If no Crab symbols appear on the positions with Trap frames during a Re-Spin, Re-Spins end.
Crab symbols that appear on positions with the Trap frames during Re-Spins or the spin that activated Re-Spins remain on the reels until the end of Re-Spins. A colossal Crab symbol remains on the reels if it appears on at least one position with a Trap frame.
At the end of Re-Spins, before the wins from Crab symbols are evaluated, 2×2 and 3×3 colossal Crab symbols that occupy one or more positions without a Trap frame, transform into 4 or 9 single Crab symbols, respectively, each with a random value from 1 to 10 times the bet. The colossal Crabs that are not fully visible transform into 2, 3 or 6 single Crab symbols.
At the end of Re-Spins, all Crab symbols on positions with Trap frames award wins according to their values. Trap frames on positions with Crab symbols disappear from the reels, while Trap frames on positions without Crab symbols remain on the reels.
Free Spins
3, 4, 5 or 6+ Scatter symbols appearing anywhere on the reels in the main game activate 5, 7, 10 or 15 Free Spins, respectively. Scatter symbols can also appear during Free Spins and are counted in a meter, with every 3 Scatter symbols awarding 1 additional Free Spin.
The Trap frames that were on the reels at the end of the spin that activated Free Spins remain on the reels at the start of Free Spins. If Free Spins and Re-Spins are awarded simultaneously, Re-Spins are played before Free Spins start. At the end of Free Spins, all the Trap frames disappear from the reels, and the game returns to the main game, where 4 Trap frames are added to the reels.
Re-Spins can be activated during Free Spins and are played before the next Free Spin. When Re-Spins finish, the Trap frames do not disappear and remain on the reels until the end of Free Spins.
Free Spins are played at the same bet as the round that activated Free Spins. At the end of Free Spins, the total win from Free Spins is added to any wins from the round that activated Free Spins, and the game returns to the round that activated Free Spins.
