Ring! Ring! "Hello?" "Come quick! I need you now. My pub is crawling with crawlers!" "Okay. Be there in a flash" That was the Exterminator, the Insects Exterminator. Imagine a pub full of crawling insects in it. Imagine them crawling all over the drink glasses and all the food and all the whatnots. Oh geees, that's one pub I wouldn't even dare to enter! But this Pub Crawlers is just a game from Rival software, a most unpleasantly titled one if I must say. What were those designer guys thinking anyway, but who cares. It's a 20-paylines game, it's been around for some years now, and it's one more Rival game that never caught my interest. Not then, not now, not ever.
That Lady Insect is the Wild symbol in the game. It doesn't pay anything for itself but pays 4x for any wins with it. It does nothing else but to substitute for other symbols except for the Scatter and Bonus symbols. Still a dumb Wild symbol in my books. The Scorpion is the Scatter symbol, also not paying anything for itself, but getting 3, 4 or 5 of them triggers 7, 15 or 40 free spins, without any multiplier, and cannot be retriggered. Wins with a Wild symbol pays 4x. Getting 3 or more Scatters during the free spins trigger the Super Round Free Spins, with the Wild symbol paying 8x for wins, and the Bonus symbols, which only appear during the Super Round free spins, awarding the Bonus Round. Hmm, not to my liking at all, because if there are no wins with a Wild symbol during the free spins, the entire Free Spins game sucks big time! Those 7 free spins may just end up with a zero payout, and you'll only get those Super Round free spins if you're lucky. I got none. None of the Super Round. None of the Bonus game either.
There is also the 'Drop' symbol, which triggers the rolling reels effect, but affecting only the 'Drop' symbols. Again, this is almost useless in most situations, with very small payouts when it does pay. A real waste of the good Rolling Reels feature! As for the other symbols in the game, there are various insects and bugs to be found, paying from 2000x the line bet down to 40x the line bet, for getting 5 of each kind. A very low paytable indeed.
Playing this Pub Crawlers game for the very first time almost put me to sleep! The base game was boring. The overall look of the game was so cluttered with those insects icons. The few payouts from the regular spins were just awful, but those few Free Spins games that I managed to get all paid blardy poorly! 1x, 2x, 3x and 12x bet amount payouts. What the argh! Had I managed to get a Super Round Free Spins game, that too may have ended with a damn lousy payout. Well, I didn't get one, but it might have been a blessing in disguise. This is one more Rival game best to be avoided.
