Crazy Chameleons
The wombat says: You don’t have to be a fan of colourful reptiles to have a spin on sun-loving Crazy Chameleons slot from Microgaming, the people behind the Skull Duggery slot machine, Game of Thrones and Jurassic World. This release isn’t set in a jungle as you might expect, but much more exciting (as far as this Wombat is concerned) the action all takes place beach side on a palm fringed shore. That’s right – this chameleon likes to surf!
You are the surfer dude, one of the crazy Chameleon crew, and you’re here to ride the waves of fortune and win big bucks. But the question is: will slot be nothing more than a wipe out in the perfect blue water, or was will it get amped and ride some waves? I can’t wait to get my paws wet and jump right in!
Look and Feel
The graphics in Crazy Chameleon slot are super colourful and a bit cheesy to be honest, but they send out ‘good vibrations’ (remember the Beach Boys?) so we can’t be too hard on it. And then there’s the sound effects: there’s no denying the power of the ocean to lull and soothe yo into a relaxed mood. Sit back and be mesmerised as you spin by the gentle sound of the swell of waves on a beach. It chilled this Wombat out so much we nearly drifted off while we were spinning!
Game Play
Crazy Chameleons has 5 reels, 3 rows and only the 5 paylines (try our Silver Fang slot game if you’d like more- that’s got 50). Unlike some other slots, the game pays out for left to right and right to left combinations, upping your chances of making a win which helps to make up for the lack of bonus extras in this game.
Your symbols on the reels are made up of all familiar sights to any beach bum; and this wombat certainly knows when the surf’s up. The high value icons are the Crazy Chameleon of the game’s title complete with a surprising gold eyebrow ring (it’s probably mandatory for surfing reptiles), a fun-lovin’ sun wearing shades, a happy-looking sea gull, a funky floral pair of board shorts and a couple of surf boards ready for action. The lower value icons are the usual playing cards 10, J, Q & K.
The Wild in this slot is a massive curling wave that carries the player straight into surfing paradise while substituting for all other symbols on the reels. Sweet!
The gameplay, and does lack Scatters and any other extra bonus features, which is a bit of a shame as there’s less chance for chunky cash prizes… Still, it’s worth noting that a 5x in row of those Crazy Chameleons can earn you a rather sexy 5,000 coin payout!
Conclusion
If you like a simple and perky little slot, then Crazy Chameleons might be the animal for you. What the game lacks in the latest tech and flashy 3D graphics, it looks makes up for in its basic charm and the potential pay out for those high value icons. Crazy Chameleons wasn’t a wipe out for this Wombat, but we weren’t riding high on the waves either.
