Embarking on this captivating gaming adventure amidst the glistening crystals, players can take advantage of several fantastic features to enhance their chances of securing bigger wins. These features include Cascade, Wild Symbol, Crystal Symbol, Bonus Crystal Symbol, Crystal Catcher, Instant Prize Symbol, Free Games, Ante Bet, and Bonus Buy.

The game immerses players in a crystal-themed environment, following an enthusiastic crystal-loving beetle into a mesmerizing cave. The backdrop showcases a mining scene, illuminated by a scattering of lanterns. On the reels, players encounter a plethora of exquisite crystals that serve as the game's paying symbols. Crystal Catcher can be enjoyed across various devices, including tablets, desktops, and mobile phones. By landing clusters of 5 or more symbols of the same type, players activate the cascade feature, leading to potentially rewarding outcomes.

The paying symbols in Crystal Catcher are crystals adorned in shades of purple, blue, green, pink, yellow, and red. Forming a winning cluster with 16 or more identical symbols can yield payouts ranging from 12.5 times to 100 times the initial bet. The game incorporates a beetle as the wild symbol, while the purple orb represents the crystal symbol. Additionally, the scatter symbol is a golden crystal enclosed in a gilded cage. During gameplay, players may also encounter instant prize symbols. Now, let's explore the functionalities of the game's features.

Once you form a winning cluster, the cascade feature activates. This causes the symbols involved in the win to vanish from the reels, allowing new symbols to drop down and potentially create additional winning combinations.

The game includes a wild symbol that assists in forming more winning combinations. It can substitute for all symbols except the scatter and crystal symbols. There are two types of wild symbols: the regular beetle and the golden beetle. Each regular beetle has its own multiplier, starting at 1X and increasing by 1X whenever it participates in the crystal catcher feature. The current multiplier is applied to any wins in which the wild symbol is involved.

If you land a crystal symbol simultaneously with a wild beetle symbol, the catcher feature triggers. The crystal symbol itself does not award any payouts.

Represented by the scatter symbol, this symbol activates the free games feature when it appears alongside a wild beetle symbol. It does not offer any direct payouts.

When a wild beetle symbol appears together with a scatter, instant prize, or crystal symbol, the crystal catcher feature is triggered. The wild beetle starts with a multiplier of 1X, which increases by 1X for each collection of instant prize, scatter, or crystal symbols. Whenever the wild beetle collects one of these symbols, it leaves behind a wild golden beetle in that position. The wild golden beetle also inherits the multiplier from the wild beetle. The multiplier applies to winning combinations and instant prizes collected. If multiple beetles contribute to a win, the multiplier is applied to all of them.

During your spins, you may encounter instant prize symbols, which can be collected by landing a wild beetle simultaneously. These symbols can carry values of 1X, 2X, 3X, 5X, 10X, 20X, 30X, 50X, 100X, 200X, 300X, or 500X. Each time a wild beetle collects an instant prize symbol, its multiplier is applied to the win. After the payout, the multiplier increases by 1X, and a wild golden beetle takes the place of the collected instant prize symbol.

When a wild beetle collects a scatter symbol, you receive a notification that free games will commence once the current spin session concludes. After all winnings are paid and no more cascades occur, you are awarded 7 free spins. The wild beetle remains on the reels throughout the entire bonus game, but the wild golden beetles disappear with each new free spin. The multiplier continues to increase by 1X for each collection made, persisting throughout the remaining spins.

For players seeking immediate access to the features, Crystal Catcher offers a bonus buy option. There are two choices available:

75X: This option activates the regular free games with a single normal wild beetle. By selecting this option, the RTP increases to 96.50%.

275X: Opting for this option triggers the super free games, also accompanied by a single normal wild beetle. The super free games provide enhanced opportunities to land instant prize symbols, crystal symbols, and the three highest paying symbols. By choosing this option, the RTP increases to 96.53%.
