Step into the heart of a medieval siege in Crusader, a high-stakes video slot packed with armor, relics, and righteous fury. Developed by ELK Studios, this battle-themed game takes players into the heat of a holy war, where stacked sticky wilds and expanding reels await in a dramatic bonus round. The core action revolves around locked wilds, expanding paylines, and a narrow but consistent 2,500x max win.
While it doesn’t offer jaw-dropping payouts compared to newer releases, Crusader still holds the line with sharp visuals and some genuinely fun mechanics—now available to play at Razed.
Crusader is a 5-reel, 4-row slot by default, with 26 fixed paylines that can expand up to 98 paylines in the bonus round.
You’ll need to match 3 to 5 symbols on a line to score a win. Wilds only appear on reels 1 and 5, and they’re 4 symbols tall, coming into play with their own bonus twist.
The base game is relatively straightforward, but the focus is on triggering the Crusader Wild Respins and eventually unlocking the Free Spins Siege round for the full experience.
True to its name, Crusader leans into medieval themes with a heavy hand. Think swords, shields, gilded relics, and templar symbolism, all displayed across a stoic stone-and-metal backdrop.
The atmosphere is serious and noble—bolstered by a heroic orchestral soundtrack and sharp animations. When wilds nudge into place or the reels expand upward, the screen erupts with satisfying clangs and bold visuals that bring the crusade to life.
Crusader Wild Respins
On reels 1 and 5, you can land a stacked Crusader Wild, which is 4 rows tall. If this wild lands partially in view, it triggers a respin feature, nudging one step per spin until it fully covers the reel.
You’ll receive as many respins as needed for the wild to fully nudge into place.
If another Crusader Wild appears partially on the opposite reel during a respin, the process repeats until both reels are fully covered with stacked wilds.
This creates a dynamic build-up to the bonus round—and sets the stage for what’s to come.
Once both reels 1 and 5 are covered with fully stacked Crusader Wilds, the Free Spins Siege feature triggers. You’ll receive:
8 Free Spins
Sticky stacked wilds locked on reels 1 and 5 for the entire bonus
Middle reels (2–4) become the key to expanding the action
Look out for the golden arrow Expansion Symbol, which:
Appears only on the middle reels
Expands the reel set upward by 1 row
Adds +1 extra free spin each time it lands
You can expand the grid up to 9 extra rows, reaching a total of 12 rows. With every row added, your paylines increase—from 26 all the way to 98 ways to win.
Symbols are themed around crusader relics and heraldry, with elegant but brutal iconography. Here's what you’re working with at the high end:
Golden Grail – Pays 10x for 5 of a kind
Treasure Chest – Pays 5x for 5
Dagger – Pays 4x for 5
Red Cross Shield – Pays 3x for 5
Blue Cross Shield – Pays 2.5x for 5
Green Cross Shield – Pays 2.25x for 5
Royal Card Suits (low symbols) – Pay between 1x and 2x for 5 of a kind
The wild symbol substitutes for all standard symbols but does not pay on its own.
Bet Range: $0.20 – $100 per spin
RTP: ~96.1%
Volatility: High
Max Win: 2,500x your stake
That’s $250,000 max payout on the highest stake
While the volatility is high, the relatively low ceiling on payouts may not satisfy those chasing huge hits. Still, it’s a game of consistency—if you enjoy calculated risk with moderate upside, Crusader fits the profile.
