Crab Trap is a seaside-themed video slot developed by NetEnt and released on August 10, 2023. The game features a 6-reel, 4-row layout with a scatter pays system instead of traditional paylines. Set against a backdrop of sparkling blue waters, golden sand, and a distant lighthouse, the game incorporates nautical symbols like starfish and buckets to enhance its coastal atmosphere.
The slot's main feature revolves around the Trap Frame mechanic. Blue Boat symbols can appear on any reel, adding Trap Frames to their position and 1-5 random positions. Red Boat symbols, appearing on reel 4 in the base game and reel 3 in free spins, can trigger Respins when at least 5 Trap Frames are on the reels.
During Respins, players aim to land Crab symbols on positions with Trap Frames. Single Crabs, 2×2 colossal Crabs, and 3×3 colossal Crabs can appear, offering various prize values. Colossal Crabs not fully covered by Trap Frames break into smaller, less valuable symbols.
The Free Spins feature is triggered by landing 3 or more scatter symbols, awarding 5 to 15 free spins. During this round, collected scatters can award additional spins, and Trap Frames persist between Respins.
Crab Trap offers a maximum win potential of 1,191 times the bet and includes a Bonus Buy feature for players outside the UK, allowing direct access to the Free Spins round for 50 times the bet.
