About Crystal Catcher
Released on 7 June 2023, Crystal Catcher is a Push Gaming slot set in a gem-mining world, built around the innovative Wild Beetle collector mechanic. The format is a 7x7 cluster pays grid (5+ matching symbols), with standard RTP of 95.4% (boosted to 96.55% with Bonus Buy), medium volatility (a rare trait in Push's mostly high-volatility catalogue), and a max win of 5,000x. The math model favours accessible sessions with regular hits via cascades and a Wild Beetle that progressively amplifies payouts.
The visual world is a magical underground crystal mine, with a glowing wild beetle roaming the grid, multicoloured shimmering crystals, stalactites, and a palette of crystal cyan-amethyst violet-quartz pink-emerald green-golden yellow. Cinematic animations show the beetle walking between positions, crystals exploding into shards of light, and the multiplier visually ticking upward. The sound design layers ambient mining tones, crystal chimes, and the beetle's clicking footsteps — a signature of the Push Gaming studio.
The signature mechanic is cluster pays, where 5+ connected matching symbols pay out. Cascading wins then clear winning clusters and drop new symbols in for potential chains.
The standout feature: the Wild Beetle appears on the grid and moves to collect crystal symbols and instant prize icons. Its multiplier increases by +1 per win on each collection — a unique, progressive mechanic.
Bonus rounds: Free Spins (7 spins) trigger via the bonus symbol. During the Free Spins, the beetle multiplier persists and keeps growing without resetting between spins, creating a continuous escalation that can reach very high multipliers. Sticky wilds with multipliers reinforce the chains further.
Bonus Buy is available at multiple levels (excluding UK markets) with an RTP boost to 96.55%. Availability: Crystal Catcher is offered at the top-rated crypto casinos in the BCE rankings that carry Push Gaming. Compare it with Fire Hopper (Push 7x7 cluster, max 50,000x), Rat King (Push 6x6 Pay Anywhere), Goat Getter (Push 5x6 Pay Anywhere), Big Bite (Push 5x3, low volatility), and Jammin' Jars (Push cluster, 2018).
