FBMÂź unveils golden treasures in Mexico with Crocâs Lockâą bites

There is a new hero in Mexico as FBMÂź launches the thrilling Crocâs Lockâą. This slot game merges an engaging storyline with a disruptive game mechanic based on the Lock feature and two accumulators, taking players into a cartooned adventure with Super Croc full of golden coins to collect.
Crocâs Lock is a 30-line slot filled with adrenaline and great prizes. Super Croc is the character around all action happens. Working with 15 independent reels, Crocâs Lock offers gaming sessions where Super Croc exploits lead the player through an entertaining journey with three new features. The surprise element is always present, as the big prizes can come on the main game or bonus free spins modes.
Extra Coins and Extra Spins unlock extra fun!
The central reel is the focus of the Crocâs Lock game mechanic. Every time players obtain a Super Croc on this position, the Lock Feature is activated. Super Croc liberates all the existing lock symbols and may open the bonus with Extra Coins, Extra Spins or both accumulators combined.
If the bonus mode starts with one chest open, players get five free spins. This number increases to ten free rounds when Super Croc triggers Extra Spins and Extra Coins at the same time. Each accumulator of the Crocâs Lock slot game presents a different feature:
- Extra Spins â Super Croc releases thunders from its fingers, increasing the free spins counter during the bonus rounds.
- Extra Coins â Super Croc changes the reels by shooting flaming coins to introduce more lock symbols on each free round.
The character stays on the central reel during the bonus plays. The features attached to each accumulator appear in the first free spin and can be repeated several times during the bonus rounds.
When players get into the bonus with one of the accumulators active, Super Croc keeps contributing with coins for the unopened chest. These contributions can lead to the opening of the other accumulator, allowing players to benefit from the combined effect of Extra Spins and Extra Coins.
Four jackpots, reel rewinds, and Luck Has Arrived to collect bags of coins
The Lock feature is just a part of Crocâs Lockâs adrenaline injection. This FBM slot offers a complete feature set, including four Progressive Jackpots and two game features ready to keep the players engaged on the screen: Rewind and Luck Has Arrived.
- Progressive Jackpots – Crocâs Lock offers access to four different prize levels â Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand – through a jackpot vault that can appear on the reels during the main game or bonus rounds.
- Rewind – part of the Super Croc special powers, this feature changes the game round outcome. When Crocs hits the paw, one or more reels will change the symbol displayed and deliver a winning round to the player.
- Luck Has Arrived â the lasers coming from the eyes of the Super Croc pre-announce this feature, anticipating a big win for the player.
A villain, a hero and great graphics engage players in a disruptive FBM slot!
Several factors contribute to the immersive game experience offered by Crocâs Lock. Besides the rewards included in the productâs feature set, this FBM slot involves casino players and operators through a compelling narrative with the traditional duel âhero vs villainâ.
On one side, the Lock represents the evil force of the game and is visible on all lock symbols landed on the 15 independent reels, bringing challenges to the game hero on each spin. On the other side, Super Croc embodies the superpowers of the good forces on a joyful character, who guides the player on all relevant moments of the game with entertaining animations like the dances, the paw hit, the Extra Spins thunders, the Extra Coins flaming coins or the Luck Has arrived lasers.
The sound effects of Crocâs Lock add an extra layer of enthusiasm, completing the visual effects and animations of the game with sounds that keep on the playerâs mind with catchy rhymes and melodies.
Available for the Galaxy II, Auria and Shadow III casino cabinets, Crocâs Lock starts its expansion journey in Mexico. Designed for players looking for significant prizes in durable and long-lasting gaming sessions, this title promises to enchant slot fans spread all over the country.
Following the releases of Jin QiĂĄn Link Spiritsâą and Xing FĂș Fortune Money Treesâą, FBM continues renovating its slots portfolio with an innovative, reliable, high-performing casino game. Crocâs Lock is compatible with different casino floor layouts and ready to add value to the casino operatorâs portfolio with an exciting narrative and compelling aesthetics, features, and game mechanics.
