Crabbin’ For Cash: Extra Big Splash Slot Review

Crabbin’ For Cash: Extra Big Splash Slot Overview

Having fished the slots seas dry, Blueprint Gaming is now turning its attention to the crustaceans of the oceans in Crabbin’ For Cash: Extra Big Splash. Is there no sea life safe from their clutches? All of your Prize Collection features remain in evidence in this claw-laden sea adventure, whilst the spectacular bonus round is boosted by a Pick-A-Prize feature, similar to that which made Fishin’ Frenzy: The Big Splash such a smash hit. Fill your lobster pot in this one, and you may escape with a 50,000x max win!

Blueprint Gaming know they are on to a winner with this type of game, but it is nice to see the developer diversifying the theme a little by switching to the orange-hued denizens of the sea. For us, the change worked a treat, with the switch in focus refreshing the theme nicely. The gameplay also has its selling points. If you enjoy the Pick-An-Upgrade style feature, this could be for you, with the possibility of landing multiple upgrades straight off the bat doing a great job of increasing the bonus round anticipation. On the downside, that below-par RTP sees this come up a little short of other releases in the series. Nevertheless, it’s all as much fun as usual, and the win potential is top-notch. If you are seeking to mix things up on your slots fishing menu, this is well worth a look!

Free Spins Bonus

Flower and Bunting-laden Boat Scatters will send you sailing into the Free Spins Bonus.

3x Scatters = 10 free spins
4x Scatters = 15 free spins
5x Scatters = 20 free spins

Before free spins begin, you are taken to a Pick-A-Crustacean screen containing 13 shelled critters. Each crustacean hides one of the following upgrades:

Hat Tag: Prize Tags are added to all Hat symbols
Lifebuoy Tag: Prize Tags are added to all Lifebuoy symbols
Basket Tag: Prize Tags are added to all Basket symbols
Anchor Tag: Prize Tags are added to all Anchor symbols
Trail Boost: Lights up a number of Fishermen on the Bonus Trail at the start of the round
+ Fishermen: Adds extra Fishermen symbols to the reels
+Golden Fishermen: Adds Golden Fishermen to the reels. Whenever a Golden Fisherman lands in combination with Prize symbols, you will be given a choice of three Baskets. Each Basket contains a multiplier of 2x-10x, which will apply to your Prize Collection wins for that spin.
Re-spin: Throughout the round, whenever a Fisherman appears together with one or more Prize symbols, all remaining symbols will re-spin. This process repeats until no new Prize or Fishermen symbols land.
+ Games: Awards extra free spins
Start Free Spins: Ends the Pick-A-Crustacean feature, and free spins begin

You may continue picking Crustaceans until five upgrades are revealed, or the Start Free Spins Crustacean is selected. The round then features the classic collection system. Any time a Fisherman spins into view, he will collect all Prizes Tags on the screen, with the following values available – 2x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, and 50x.

During free spins, Fishermen symbols are collected in the Bonus Trail above the reels. Every fourth Fisherman collected will reward you with five additional free spins and upgrade two Crustacean symbols to the next highest value. This boost is awarded following the collection of four, eight, and 12 Fishermen.

Bonus Buy Feature

If you can’t wait for those Boat Scatters to sail into view, the following Bonus Buy options are available:

100x the Total Bet: Awards a random three, four, or five Scatter bonus round.
200x the Total Bet: Awards a random three, four, or five Scatter bonus and guarantees the maximum five upgrades from the Pick-A-Crustacean feature.

Note that Bonus Buy is only available in eligible jurisdictions. (Not available to UK players).

Our Verdict: Whilst being similar to other bonus rounds in this series – notably Fishin’ Frenzy: The Big Splash – the possibility of immediately selecting five upgrades means free spins can come front-loaded with excitement. Five extra spins per Bonus Trail step is a little less than other installments, but that is compensated for by the Prize Value enhancement system, which may lead to rapidly escalating wins – particularly if those glorious Golden Fisherman spin into view.

Crabbin’ For Cash: Extra Big Splash Slot RTP & Volatility

RTP	Variable RTP	Volatility
94.50%	Yes	Medium-High

The top-end return to player (RTP) percentage of 94.50% is below the industry average RTP of 96%.

Your crab-catching expedition will take you through medium to high volatility waters. Bring your life jacket and rubber ring, as a degree of turbulence is to be expected. However, riding out the waves may be worth it, as games of this rating provide a better chance of hitting a big win in a short session than low to medium volatility releases.

Our Verdict: The top-end RTP of 94.50% has to count as a negative - particularly as many similar games from this provider are pitched higher. You should also be aware that an alternative lower setting of 93% is available. We always recommend consulting the information section of the game to discover the setting in use at your online casino of choice. The volatility rating is par for the course with this series but is perfectly acceptable given the style of the game and solid win potential.

Crabbin’ For Cash: Extra Big Splash Slot Graphics & Audio

Graphics

The cartoonish ocean setting and iconic font make this release instantly recognisable from a visual perspective – even in the absence of the word fish in the title. There are, at least, fish in the backdrop as a brightly coloured shoal drifts serenely through the bubbly ocean. The card suit values are standard fare but are at least drawn from a bright colour palette and benefit from a scaly sheen. The high-pays are also nicely done, and it’s hard not to be charmed by the cute little outfits sported by the crustacean characters.

Crabbin' for Cash Extra Big Splash (Blueprint Gaming) 1 — Wins in the base game

Crabbin' for Cash Extra Big Splash (Blueprint Gaming) 2 — High value symbols form a win

Crabbin' for Cash Extra Big Splash (Blueprint Gaming) 4 — Cash symbols form a win

Audio

Overall, this game has a feel of Fishin’ Frenzy on vacation, and that vibe carries over into the soundtrack. Rat-a-tat bongos. jangling guitars and steelpan drums combine to create an unmistakably Calypso accompaniment to the action. Beginning with a gentle whoosh and ending with a dulled thud, the reel effects do little to intrude on the ambient noise, but twinkles, guitar strums, and electronic flourishes ensure you don’t miss the arrival of wins and special symbols.

Our Verdict: Aesthetically speaking, Crabbin’ For Cash: Extra Big Splash sticks to the classic template but does come with a few distinguishing features. The Crustacean symbols appear to have a little more personality than their fishy counterparts, and we enjoyed the dynamic backdrop and upbeat soundtrack.
