Cream of the Crop is a Rival Gaming title which puts you in the middle of a vegetable garden, the one that was the inspiration for the “Crop” part of the name. It’s an interesting game, using the vegetables that come out of the ground as symbols, with the actual ground being used at the basis of the reels. It looks like the symbols that come in are part of the crop, so it’s a very rustic look that they’ve gone for in this game. Farming themed slots are not uncommon, quite a few have been released already, but this is the first one I’ve seen cover the vegetable garden theme and doing it so well.
A modern game, Cream of the Crop has its own rustic side, as you will notice while looking at the symbols appearing on its 20 paylines. It offers enough features to make it interesting though, using scatter symbols and expanding wilds, along with a bonus game. The big prize of this slot is at $22,220.
Features of Cream Of The Crop
You only get two types of symbols, the bonus scatters and the expanding wilds.
The Cute Rabbit wild is one of the two symbols that aren’t crops in this game. It is going to cover the entire reel in certain cases, being an expanding wild, but it will do so only when this will result in a new combo thanks to its substitution abilities. This expanding wild will not replace a scatter symbol, will not offer its own prizes and it will only appear on the 1st, 3rd and 5th reels.
Bonus Game
A half-buried treasure chest is the game’s scatter symbol. You’re going to find that it can appear anywhere on the screen, but for it to trigger the bonus game you’re going to need it to be present in at least three locations.
The next screen takes you to the field, where you have to find treasure chests and veggies, while finding a weed will end the round. The treasure chests offer you the best prizes, but most of the time you will get veggies.
Betting options and jackpots
There are three components to a bet placed in this game. You choose the paylines first, the maximum being 20. The number of coins for each active line is next, the range being 1 to 10. Finally, we have the coin value, with $0.25 being the highest and $0.01 the lowest. You can get line wagers of up to $2.50 and totals of up to $50.
The jackpot’s value is 8,888x, so the total value is somewhat unusual as well. You can take up to $22,220 from the game.
Design and symbols
Taking the form of a field with vegetables, Cream of the Crop is farming themed and there is no mistaking it for anything else. Most of the symbols are related to the idea of farming and to crops, with the only two a bit out of the ordinary being the feature symbols. It’s a great game if you love clean fresh air and some fresh produce, if you’ve lived on a farm or you want to someday retire there. Not everyone will be able to appreciate what it offers, but a lot of players will.
Symbols: Rabbit (wild), Treasure Chest (scatter), Corn (8,888x), Pumpkin (750x), Peppers (500x), Cabbage (375x), Carrot (300x), Beets (250x), Onion (150x), Radish (100x), Sunflower (65x) and Yellow Flower (60x).
Is It Worth Playing?
I’ve enjoyed playing this title, mostly because it’s such a peaceful way to spend some time, something that’s possible only because of the farming and gardening theme it uses. The prizes are not bad either, while the features are good but not great.
You will find Cream Of The Crop at any online casino which chooses to use software from Rival, playable either for free or for real money.
