Theme

The name Crocodpolis was given by the Greeks, and it means the Crocodile City. The city worshipped a crocodile known as petsuchos and the croc was embellished with gems and gold. It was kept in a special temple where there was a pond, food, and sand. When it died another petsuchos was chosen.

You will immediately know you are in the desert once the game opens and the reels appear set atop a sand dune and you notice an oasis and some camels passing by in the distance. Take care not to step on the poisonous scorpions.
The music and sounds are picked out straight from the ancient Egyptian music. The Croc is the wild feature and it substitutes all other symbols on the reels except the Pyramid, which is the scatter. Other regular symbols that you will encounter on the reels include the Egyptian gods, Scarab, Ankh, Scroll, Ace, Queen, King, Jack, 9, and 10.
Features

The Slide a Wild feature has 2 arrows, one pointing left and the other right. You can move the feature to any reel using the arrows. The Slide a Wild determines where the Croc wild symbol appears. The Croc will only appear on the selected reel.
Note that if the slider is set to reel one, the incurring payouts will be doubled if the Croc substitutes any other symbol to form a winning combination. Moving the slider to reel 2 will see winnings tripled if the Croc substitutes any other symbol to form a winning combination. If the slider is set to the middle reel, you will have a chance in getting an expanded wild. The Croc will only expand to fill the reel if its expansion helps in forming a winning combination. Move the slider to reel 4 if you would like to see the Croc expand to fill the reel.
All prizes realized in the expansion come with a 3X multiplier. Moving the slider to reel 5 will see all other symbols replaced with the Croc. Your win will be tripled if the Croc substitutes another symbol to form a winning combination in this innovative and interactive bonus element.
