Crystal Catcher

Crystal Catcher is a video slot by Pushgaming featuring a 7×7 grid and cluster pays mechanics; you can win when five or more matching crystal symbols form a cluster. The winning symbols on the grid are multicolored crystals, with the red crystal having the highest value.

The special symbol is the Wild Beetle, which substitutes for other paying symbols (but not Crystal or Bonus Crystal symbols) and collects instant prize symbols as well as bonus or crystal crystals to activate the Crystal Catcher feature. Instant prize symbols can be worth up to 500 times the bet, and as the number of symbols collected by the Wild Beetle increases, the multiplier for the Wild Beetle increases by one for each collected symbol.

When a Bonus Crystal symbol lands on the grid and the Wild Beetle collects it simultaneously, the game triggers free spins: the player is awarded seven free spin rounds. During the free spins, the Wild Beetle remains on the grid for the entire feature, and the multiplier continues to grow with each collected layer.

Crystal Catcher also includes an Ante Bet option, where the bet increases by about 20%, but Wild Beetle symbols land on the grid more frequently, and the probability of triggering free spins improves. The Bonus Buy feature is also included: you can purchase a standard free spin round at a specific multiplier (approximately 75× the bet) or a super version, which has better chances of landing more valuable symbols and instant prize symbols more frequently (approximately 275× the bet).

Thematically, the game is set in a dragon or mining landscape amidst crystals and large gemstones. The visual style features bright crystals and underground tunnels with lighting. The game offers medium volatility and a maximum win of up to approximately 5,000 times the bet, depending on the features and bonus version.

You can try it for free in demo mode or play it for real money.
