Crocodopolis is a slot game from PartyGaming that has just gone live at Virgin Casino. For the greater part it is like any other ancient Egypt themed slot game, but with some noticeable differences. The first is its unusual name that means the city of crocodiles. Whereas the man eating crocodiles of the Nile River are well known, they have not been given such prominence in online slot games before. Obviously the main symbol is the crocodile, abbreviated as CROC. CROC is depicted in the typical Egyptian fashion with a crocodile head on a man's body. CROC is the wild symbol and breaks into frenzied dancing during the animations, especially when it expands to cover the entire reel. The other thematic symbols are Pyramids, Gods, Scarab, Ankh and Scroll. High value card symbols are used as well. The Gods symbol offers the highest fixed jackpot of 5,000 coins. The free spins feature is the normal type. When three Pyramids symbols appear scattered on Reels 2, 3 and 4 players are awarded 12 free spins at doubled payouts. The free spins can be retriggered.

Crocodopolis offers a unique and exciting feature called Slide a Wild. Players can position the onscreen slider above the reels to move the wild CROC symbol to any reel. CROC will appear only on the reel selected. On each reel the wild symbol has different properties. On the reels to the left these properties are less attractive. But winning combinations need to be formed from left to right and therefore wild symbols will be more effective on the reels to the left. Hence it is a tough but exciting choice for the player. When the wild symbol appears on Reel 1 the payout is doubled if CROC substitutes in a winning combination. When the wild symbol appears on Reel 2 the payout is tripled if CROC substitutes in a winning combination. When CROC appears on Reel 3 it expands to cover all three rows only if it results in a winning combination. Payouts are awarded only after the expansion. A similar expansion takes place when the CROC appears on Reel 4. However, in this case the payouts are triple of the values indicated in the payout table. When the slider is on Reel 5 the operational effect is the same as that of the previous case. Only the visual effect is different. Instead of expanding to cover all rows all symbols on Reel 5 are replaced with the CROC symbol. The payouts are tripled again.

Virgin Casino is as such powered by WagerWorks but offers games from other software providers as well. Hopefully players at Virgin Casino will get to wager on more PartyGaming slots in the future. Virgin Casino is licensed in the gambling jurisdiction of Alderney.
