It’s a bold claim indeed. While many slots stay within the boundaries of the law, others dare to stray into illegal territory for those illustrious ill-gotten gains. Slots like Mega Heist, from Relax Gaming, and more recent titles like Viper City Heist and Heist Guys are all out to prove how diabolical they can be, as are the goodest boys turned bad in Play’n GO’s Hot Dog Heist.

There’s dishonesty and thievery everywhere, it seems, but none are quite as cunning as a Fox, or more specifically, a crew of them. 4 Foxx Crew has the entire police force on their tails, but will they walk free?

4 FOXX crew comes loaded to the teeth with WildEnergy, MultiMax features and more like SWAT Strike, Gold Egg Dash and more, making it a very versatile slot. Available with RTP ranges from 96% – 90.5%, high volatility and loaded with a max win of 10,000x the bet, 4 FOXX crew might be a heist that goes down in history.

Base Game & Features

4 FOXX Crew is a 6-reel, 6-row cluster pays slot, meaning traditional paylines do not apply.

Forming a win requires at least 5+ of any identical symbol next to each other (connected horizontally and/or vertically) to form a win. The more symbols within a cluster, the higher the win.

The highest paying symbols are Mr Red, Mr Purple, Ms Green and Mr Blue. Lower paying symbols are various luxurious items, including gems, a watch and a diamond ring. There are three wild symbols that substitute for all regular paying symbols, and a Free Spins symbol.

Payouts for a cluster of 14+ of the best symbols are 6.5x the bet, which doesn’t sound like a lot, but the game is working in conjunction with other features to bolster win values.

Avalanche Feature

4 FOXX Crew features an Avalanche mechanic. This means that winning symbols disappear from the reels, leaving room for new symbols to drop down into the empty space.

Each time an Avalanche win occurs, a randomly selected Wild is added to one of the winning positions.

Multipliers

Above each reel, there is a dedicated Multiplier that begins at x1.

Each time a Wild spawns on the reel, it increases the reel’s multiplier by x1. In the base game, all multipliers reset after a losing spin or avalanche. During free spins, the multipliers do not reset.

If multiple multipliers apply to a single winning cluster, then they’re summed together before applying to the win.

Wild Symbols

Wild symbols substitute for all paying symbols except for the Scatter symbol.

The three different types of Wilds that may be added during an Avalanche are:

Normal Wild – This is a regular wild with no additional effect
WildEnergy Wild – It appears with 2, 3 or 4 lives randomly. Each time it participates in a win, one life is depleted. Wild Energy Wilds stays on the reels until it runs out of lives, or the Avalanche session ends.
Extra Multiplier Wild – This wild appears with a random multiplier. This may be x2, x3, x5, x10, x15, x20 or x50. After spawning, it adds its multiplier value to the reel it spawned on.

Wild Symbols Fill Empty Spaces After an Avalanche Win

FOXX Bounty

High paying symbols may land with a sub-symbol on them. Sub-symbols are coin icons that land on the same position as their high-paying symbol.

These are collected to the corresponding Bounty indicators, which are shown as Wanted posters.

Each time a sub-symbol is collected, there is a chance to win the corresponding FOXX Bounty.

The bounty sizes are: 15x, 25x, 500x and 1,000x the bet

Other Modifiers

4 FOXX crew features a number of modifiers that trigger on non-winning spins. These include:

Swat Strike – On each non-winning spin, there is a random chance for the SWAT Strike feature to trigger, turning a random number of non-winning symbols into symbols that form winning combinations.
Gold Egg Dash – On each non-winning spin, there is a random chance for the Gold Egg Dash feature to trigger, turning non-winning symbols in a single row into symbols that form winning combinations
Big Bang – On each non-winning spin, there is a random chance for the Big Bang feature to trigger, turning non-winning symbols in a 2×2 formation into symbols that form a winning combination.

Free Spins

Land 3+ Scatter symbols to trigger free spins.

3 Scatters – 7 Free Spins
4 Scatters – 9 Free Spins
5 Scatters – 11 Free Spins

Reel Multipliers do not reset in Free Spins. In Free Spins, there is a higher chance of spawning a high-value multiplier wild after a win.

When entering Free Spins, players may gamble for more Free Spins, unless 11 have been obtained already.

If successful, this upgrades free spins from 7 to 9, or from 9 to 11. If unsuccessful, the free spins round is forfeited and lost.

Bonus Buy

4 FOXX Crew comes with a bonus buy option. This costs 100x the bet for 7/9 or 11 Free Spins, or 200x for 11 Free Spins

The theoretical RTP for the Bonus Buy on the 94% version of the game remains at 94%.

Golden Bet

There are 2 Golden Bet options in 4 FOXX Crew.

Higher Chance of Triggering Free Spins – 1.2x the bet
Guarantee Only Special Wilds on Avalanche – 1.5x the bet.

Only one Golden Bet may be active at any one time.

Our Honest Verdict

We can ask little else of 4 FOXX Crew. It shares some core features and mechanics with others in the Yggdrasil catalogue, but with an undeniable sense of personality thanks to Mr Red and his crew.

There seems to be an expectation for a cluster pays slot to be packed with features, more so than most slots, and we think 4 FOXX Crew sufficiently delivers in that regard. It has multipliers above the reel which are additive; should wins appear across multiple reels, a lot of non-winning spin mechanics, plus different types of Wild Symbols and the FOXX Bounty.

It’s a fairly complete package if you think about it, though it leaves little room for any type of major overhaul in Free Spins, which simply improves the chances of high-value multiplier wilds and persists multipliers.

In our opinion, 4 FOXX crew provides more than enough oomph, proving once again that the crew at Yggdrasil are as efficient at slot crafting as Mr Red and his crew are at robbing banks.

Its 10,000x win potential is fairly regular by today’s standards, so if we had one complaint, it would probably be that. It would have bolstered its popularity a fair bit with a higher max win.

Nethertheless, a good release once again from Yggdrasil.
