4 FOXX Crew

Four determined animals, one loaded bank, and an entire police force on their tails – Prepare for the ultimate heist in 4 FOXX Crew, the latest release from Yggdrasil Gaming. 

4 FOXX Crew is an adrenaline-pumping 6-reel, Cluster Pays video slot, where the Multimax feature triggers multipliers and plenty of action on every spin. Crack open the safe, and you’ll be awarded free spins, where the multimax feature persists with every golden egg that hits. 

Get ready to hit the jackpot when geese, bombs, and the police themselves appear on the grid, transforming non-winning symbols into rewarding loot. Lastly, WildEnergy eggs are yours for the taking, delivering multipliers and even bigger wins, while keeping your eyes peeled for legendary Foxx bounties. 

Certain things in life go hand-in-hand. In the real world and the iGaming industry, foxes have quite the reputation for sniffing out their next all-you-can-eat chicken buffet, reiterated in games like Finger Lick’n Free Spins and Greedy Fox.

However, 4 FOXX Crew focuses on an unusual theme: a bank heist involving a group of animals (including a fox). The heist part of the game isn’t necessarily the unusual part, but having a fox as the ringleader of something besides his next meal is. 

With fixed RTP options up to 94% available, this high (4/5) volatility release can produce wins up to 10,000x your bet. Will this outlandish fox pull off the ultimate heist, or would he be better off chasing his next chicken dinner? Let’s find out.

4 FOXX Crew Base Game

4 FOXX Crew Base Features

Consisting of 6 reels and 6 rows, 4 FOXX Crew classifies as a highly volatile slot, operating a Cluster Pays mechanic. Wins occur when 5-14 matching symbols land on the grid, so long as they are horizontally or vertically adjacent. 

The 8 paytable symbols are split into two categories: High and Low. The 4 high-paying symbols are represented by animals, while the remaining symbols fall to jewellery icons. 

All 8 symbol types incur a fixed payout between 0.1x and 6.5x your bet, where applicable. In addition, the game has up to 4 Extra symbols available, these include:

• Wilds: Substitute for all symbols except Scatters on the grid
• Scatters: Are responsible for triggering the Free Spins mode
• WildEnergy Wilds: Appears with 2-4 lives and participates in a number of wins equal to its remaining lives before being destroyed
• Multiplier Wilds: Awards a x2 to x50 Multiplier to its reel

Lastly, all winning clusters in view are wiped out and replaced with new symbols from above, via an Avalanche Feature. This enables additional wins to occur on the grid, for an increased chance of producing bigger wins per spin. 

Winning Clusters are Removed From the Grid Via an Avalanche Feature

Wild Symbols

During gameplay, each avalanche event causes a random Wild symbol (as mentioned above) to be added to a single win position on the grid. 

Displayed above the main grid are 6 inactive Multipliers, starting at x1. Each Wild symbol that is added to the grid will increment its respective Reel Multiplier by +x1. 

As previously mentioned, WildEnergy symbols spawn with up to 4 Lives. Each winning cluster they are a part of will reduce their total lives by -1. Lastly, Multiplier Wilds will incur a value between x2 and x50 to their Reel Multiplier. 

At the end of each base game spin, all Reel Multipliers are reset for the next. 

Each Winning Cluster Activates a Special Wild Symbol in a Random Grid Position

Foxx Bounty

To the left of the main grid are 4 individual Bounty Prizes, represented by each high-paying (animal) symbol. 

During gameplay, whenever a high-paying symbol hits, it may land with a sub-symbol attached to it. Each time a sub-symbol is collected, there is an increased chance of triggering the respective Bounty Prize.

• Mr. Blue: Awards 15x your bet
• Ms. Green: Awards 25x your bet
• Mr. Purple: Awards 500x your bet
• Mr. Red: Awards 1,000x your bet

Special Features

In addition to the Multimax feature, the game has 3 additional features that trigger during any random non-winning spin in the base game. 

• Swat Strike: Selects and transforms several non-winning symbols into new ones, guaranteed to create winning combinations
• Gold Egg Dash: Transforms all non-winning symbols in a single row into new ones that trigger winning combinations
• Big Bang: Transforms all non-winning symbols within a 2×2 cluster into new ones that guarantee a winning combination

Players Can Gamble Their Free Spins For a Chance to Claim up to 11

4 FOXX Crew Bonus

Triggering the Bonus Game requires 3, 4, or 5 Scatters to land in the base game, awarding 7, 9, and 11 Free Spins, respectively. Before the round begins, you’re able to Gamble your current Free Spins for a chance to win up to 11. 

However, this gamble is only available to those who triggered the round with 7 or 9 Free Spins. If the gamble is unsuccessful, you will return to the base game, empty-handed. 

During this round, the value of each Reel Multiplier does not reset between spins until the end of the feature. Furthermore, the chance of landing Wild symbols with higher values is much greater.

First Impression

Straight off the bat, 4 FOXX Crew wins points for its Cluster Pays mechanic and presentation – it’ll stand out to those perusing the new slots section of a casino, more so we thank than other releases, and its recognisable features back it up as an alluring release

The idea of continuously generating Wild symbols for every avalanche win is intoxicating, allowing players the opportunity to create additional wins in a single spin. Not only this, but there’s also an increased chance of hitting something significant win-wise, thanks to the increasing Reel Multipliers. 

 The MultiMax feature only piques our interest further through the two additional Wilds that may appear in place of regular Wilds. Of course, you can make it so only these particular Wilds appear via the Golden Bet feature, but it comes at a 50% bet increase per spin.

What also captures our eye is the fixed Bounty Prizes for each high-paying symbol, visible outside of the grid. Each sub-symbol attached to a high-paying symbol increases the chance of awarding its respective prize, without the need for Jackpot Wheels or Mini-Games. 

In Free Spins, the progression of Reel Multipliers does not reset between spins, making us believe the 10,000x max win cap is more likely to occur during this time, rather than the base game. 

The best outcome would be to have all Reel Multipliers active and 1 or more wins to be spread evenly across the grid, applying the combined value of all active multipliers to the total win. 

All in all, 4 FOXX Crew showcases many of the features that we know and love from Yggdrasil Gaming and partner studio releases, and with many unique advancements that make it stand out from the crowd.
