Crab Trap Slot Strategy, Tips and Verdict

Because the game is played by a scattered combination of symbols and different bet values of low value symbols, medium value symbols and high value symbols where only the highest value of the scattered combination is paid out makes for some exciting gaming.
The free spins rounds offering the chances to get additional spins during the round as well as re-spins is actually a very good look and extends your play during the bonus round.
Of course, the Bonus Buy feature is a much-needed addition to the slot and comes in at a cost which is much cheaper (50x your bet) than other slots.
All in all, this slot gets a solid 7/10 from us and is fun slot that will keep you well entertained.
