Lobster Bob's Crazy Crab Shack review

Lobster Bob's Crazy Crab Shack is an online slot designed and developed by Reel Kingdom and Pragmatic Play based on a lobster who lives under the sea, and runs his own crab shack restaurant.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

Reel Kingdom and Pragmatic Play clearly have a taste for fish and the deep blue sea. The two studios have previously collaborated on the extremely popular Big Bass Bonanza series of slots, and they have dived into the ocean again for Lobster Bob's Crazy Crab Shack.

The game has a really playful tone, with the titular Lobster Bob appearing on the side of the reels sporting some sunglasses and a brightly colored Hawaiin shirt. Imagine Mr. Crabs from Spongebob Squarepants as a lobster, and you’ve basically imagined Lobster Bob.

The rest of the game design is extremely colorful, with bright fish swimming by and a selection of sea-based imagery filling up the reels as the rest of the symbols.

Gameplay

Lobster Bob's Crazy Crab Shack sticks with a conventional 5x3 reel set-up. The game has 20 paylines, with players landing wins by hitting matching combinations of three or more across a payline, starting on the leftmost reel.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

The first bonus in the Lobster Bob's Crazy Crab Shack slot you are likely to notice is the Crab Symbol instant wins. This is a feature similar to the Scatter pay wins in the 9 Masks of Fire slot. Any time players land three or more Scatters, they will win a prize corresponding to a scale on the left-hand side of the reels. The biggest prize is 2,000x your stake for landing nine Crab Scatter symbols.

If two Scatters land and a third could be nudged into view, a respin is triggered. All reels with a Scatter nudge down one position for the respin.

Landing three Scatters on the middle three reels rewards the Free Spins bonus. At the start of the bonus, a wheel is spun to determine how many spins are given and a multiplier that will be active throughout the round. The highest number of spins available is 30.

Depending on location, there is also an ante-buy and buy bonus feature available. The ante-buy allows players to increase their stake for a boosted chance of triggering the spins, while the Buy Bonus will give you direct access for 100x your stake.

Bet Sizes, RTP and Variance

The Lobster Bob's Crazy Crab Shack sticks with a fairly conventional math model. The slot is considered highly volatile, which gets the approval of our online slot strategy guide. It has an RTP of 96.03%, putting it around the industry average. The biggest win available in the game is 6,000x your stake.

The betting range in the game is $0.20 up to $360. However, this may vary from casino to casino, so be sure to check the paytable when you start playing.

Conclusion

Lobster Bob's Crazy Crab Shack is not a slot that is full of original gameplay, but it boasts an infectious charm and a really nice design. Pragmatic Play and Reel Kingdom have sprinkled a dash of that Big Bass Bonanza magic here, with a memorable lead character and some simple but enjoyable gameplay.
