Crabby’s Gold unleashes a clawed coin caper

Play’n GO’s latest 6×4 slot, Crabby’s Gold, washes ashore with gold-grabbing mechanics, evolving Wilds and a crustaceous companion who’s got more attitude than treasure maps.

Set in a sun-bleached pirate cove where coins glint beneath the waves, Crabby’s Gold brings comic chaos to the high seas. With its curmudgeonly mascot Crabby hoarding multipliers and heckling from the reels, this 4096-ways slot isn’t just another maritime theme – it’s a tidal wave of personality.

Underpinning the humour is a deeply engaging game design featuring persistent Wild upgrades and high-risk mechanics that push the excitement to the edge. Whether it’s the gleam of gold or the grumble of a crustacean companion, there’s always something stirring under the surface.

The Coin Collect mechanic ensures multipliers never go unnoticed – even if Crabby decides to claim them for his treasure chest. That stash can spring open at any moment, triggering a Hold’n Spin feature with sticky multipliers up to x30.

As the Rum Barrel Meter fills with bottles, the Wild system evolves in stages, transforming spins with Multiplier, Expanding, Sticky, Walking and eventually Mega 2×2 Wilds. These changes persist across sessions, keeping players locked into their progress.

And for those willing to take a chance? The Doubloon or Nothing feature offers up to four double-or-wipe chances, pushing potential wins up to 11,520x the bet.

Fans of other sea slots like Captain Glum: Pirate Hunter and Jolly Roger Wild Kraken will appreciate the vibes of Crabby’s Gold. Combined with features like the Rum Barrel system that rewards continued play, the comic tone and chaotic pacing make this a title to be reckoned with.

George Olekszy, Head of Game Retention at Play’n GO said: “With Crabby’s Gold, we’ve mixed exciting slot mechanics with real visual charm, as we always aim to do. There’s no better mixture of engaging features and humour – and Crabby’s Gold delivers that in buckets.”
