Farm animals inspired the developer Ainsworth’s January 2015 video slot Crazy Goose, which is in a three-game “Goose” series, alongside Loose Goose and Super Goose. It relates to its developer’s games Cash Hound (February 2018), Royal Swan (September 2020), Quackpot, and Barnyard Bonanza (April 2015).

Crazy Goose has: 100 rightward and selectable lines, 41 coins, two substituting wilds, sixteen symbols, wins-multiplying free re-spins, free games, dynamic grid, bonus reel, repopulating symbols, and upgraded and transformed symbols.

Regular games: twelve symbols (egg basket, rooster, dog, cow, pig, goat, A, K, Q, J, 9, and 10) require three to five combinations, with X1 to X100 payouts. Free games: two symbols (“X2” and “X3”) require one-of-a-kind, paying (X2 and X3), respectively. Eleven symbols (windvane, rooster, dog, cow, pig, goat, A, K, Q, J, 9, and 10), paying between X1 and X40.

Crazy Goose Game Characteristics

The Crazy Goose’s irregular golden-framed 3-3-4-4-4 basic grid (2X3 reels attached to 3X3 reels)—has parchment yellow reels—is set in a barnyard: there are foregrounding dry wheat stalks, grazing livestock in the midground, excited geese on the red-and-white barn in the upper ground, and a tree-lined farm in the background.

The Crazy Goose’s has 41 coins: $0.01, $0.02, $0.03, $0.04, $0.05, $0.06, $0.07, $0.08, $0.09, $0.10, $0.25, $0.50, $0.75, $1.00, $2.00, $3.00, $4.00, $5.00, $6.00, $7.00, $8.00, $9.00, $10.00, $15.00, $20.00, $25.00, $30.00, $35.00, $40.00, $45.00, $50.00, $55.00, $60.00, $65.00, $70.00, $75.00, $80.00, $85.00, $90.00, $95.00, or $100.00.

The Crazy Goose’s winning ways (44 choices) are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, or 100. Minimum bet: $0.01. Maximum bet: $10000.00.

The Crazy Goose’s five special symbols: the first substitute is a four-egg golden “wild” basket (also a scatter); the second substitute is a black-and-orange “Crazy Goose” windvane; blue-and-purple “X2”; red-and-purple “X3”; and symbol-populating excited goose’s head.

Eleven ordinary symbols: rooster, Border Collie dog, Guernsey cow, pig, white goat, purple A, orange K, golden Q, blue J, green 9, and red 10.

Here are the odds in Crazy Goose. In the regular games: A/K/Q/J/9/10 pay X2, X4, and X10; goats pay X2, X8, and X15; cows/pigs pay X2, X8, and X20; dogs pay X3, X10, and X50; roosters pay X5, X20, and X100; and egg baskets pay X1, X10, and X100.

In the free games: “X2” symbols pay X2; “X3” symbols pay X3; A/K/Q/J/9/10 pay X1, X2, and X5; goats/cows pay X2, X3, and X8; dogs/pigs pay X2, X3, and X10; roosters pay X2, X3, and X25; and windvanes pay X3, X10, and X40.

If drawn in the middle reel, the goose’s head fills the grid’s 3X3 section with a nine-of-a-kind of “Crazy Goose” windvanes. 3+ [“wild”] egg baskets hatch before the onset on the subsequent nine wins-multiplying free spins. Past the ninth free round, all lines pay out accordingly.

Played on a 5X3 grid, the up to 15-round free mode starts after the activation of a barn-embedded “bonus reel” that, at random, guarantees a wins-doubling and wins-tripling free re-spin.

After each free round, the goose hops from the grid’s top right symbol and, one at a time, down the next two symbols directly beneath it, before gradually advancing to the next reel’s symbols—all the while, the goose sticks even after it leaves behind a potentially winning an ordinary-of-a-kind.

Minimum win: $0.01. For a maximum bet a five-of-a-kind of (scatter) egg basket’s maximum win is $1000000.00 (non-progressive jackpot). The Crazy Goose software: HTML5 technology, bet history; mobile/desktop versions; and 10/25/50/75/100 auto spins.

Sound effects: ringing, comic, mooing, grunting, jangling, barking, and quacking geese. The animated 3D graphics: dolly zooming, flipping, blinking, fiery cloning, hopping goose, and bouncing and blinking goose hatchlings.
