Crystal Catcher Demo & Slot Review
Crystal Catcher is a medium-volatility cluster slot built around a Wild Beetle that flies between special symbols, leaves multiplier Wilds behind and grows by +1 with every flight; the main choice is whether to wait for natural triggers or pay extra through Push Bet or Bonus Buy.
Demo availability may vary by location. You must meet the legal age in your jurisdiction; the free-play button does not record acceptance.
Crystal Catcher
Crystal Catcher is a medium-volatility video slot from Push Gaming, released network-wide on 20 June 2023 after an earlier exclusive period. The studio page describes Cluster Pays, the flying Wild Beetle that leaves Gold Beetle copies behind, Instant Prizes, seven Free Spins, a highest observed win of 5,000× and RTP 96.30% or 94.30%.
This card follows that studio page, the attached demo paytable and rules frames, and published rule copies for the optional modes. It is not a report of played cash sessions.
For adults of legal gambling age in their location. Set a budget you can afford to lose.

Crystal Catcher review overview
7×7 Cluster Pays with cascades
Crystal Catcher has no paylines. Five or more identical crystals connected horizontally or vertically form a cluster; diagonal-only contact does not count. Winning symbols disappear and new ones cascade in until no new cluster forms. The attached paytable at a 0.50 fun bet shows a 16+ red cluster at 50.00, which is 100× the stake; demo cells at that bet are stake-linked preview figures.
Wild Beetle and Gold Beetles
The Wild Beetle substitutes for paying crystals but not for special Crystal, Bonus Crystal or Instant Prize symbols. Its multiplier starts at 1× and applies to clusters it joins. When it flies to a special symbol it leaves a Gold Beetle Wild with its value before the jump and grows by +1. Detailed rule copies state that several multiplier Wilds in one cluster multiply together.
Who Crystal Catcher suits
Crystal Catcher suits readers who like Cluster Pays, cascades and multipliers that grow through visible state changes at medium volatility. It is less suited to anyone who prefers fixed paylines, a static Wild or a Free Spins round without moving-symbol logic.
Best for
- Players who like a persistent multiplier Wild in Free Spins
- Readers comparing medium-volatility Push Gaming cluster slots
- Anyone checking the 96.30% and 94.30% builds against the studio page
Not ideal for
- Players who want every Instant Prize to pay when it lands
- Anyone treating 275× Super Bonus purchases as low-risk
- Readers assuming every copy runs at 96.30% RTP

How Crystal Catcher rules and features work
Instant Prizes
Attached rules list Instant Prize values of 1×, 2×, 3×, 5×, 10×, 20×, 30×, 50×, 100×, 200×, 300× and 500×. They pay only when the Wild Beetle flies to them, multiplied by the Beetle’s current value; the Beetle then grows by +1.
Free Spins
When the Wild Beetle collects a Bonus Crystal, the round finishes its cascades and awards seven Free Spins. The main Wild Beetle stays on the grid between spins and keeps its accumulated multiplier, which further flights can raise. Gold Beetles created during a Free Spin only count for that spin. Detailed rules do not list a fixed retrigger.
Push Bet and Bonus Buy
Where offered, Push Bet (documented as Ante Bet) adds 20% to the stake for a higher Beetle and feature chance, at 96.40% RTP on the 96.30% build. Rule copies list a 75× regular bonus at 96.50% and a 275× Super Bonus with more Crystal, Instant Prize and high symbols at 96.56%. Availability depends on the deployment.
How to play Crystal Catcher responsibly
Set money and time limits before spinning or enabling Push Bet or a Bonus Buy. Count a 275× Super Bonus as that many ordinary stakes against your ceiling, keep one timer running through cascades and Free Spins, and confirm the active RTP on the loading screen.
-
Check the RTP build first
Push Gaming lists 96.30% and 94.30% as separate configurations. Confirm which figure the loading screen or game panel shows.
-
Price optional modes against your ceiling
Push Bet adds 20% to every spin; four Super Bonus purchases cost 1,100 base bets before any result. Count the full price.
-
Do not chase a bigger Beetle
A weak feature does not make the next Wild Beetle, Bonus Crystal or high Instant Prize more likely.
Symbols and Paytable
Six crystals pay in clusters of five or more connected horizontally or vertically, with values rising by cluster size. Values below come from the attached paytable at a 0.50 fun bet and are shown as multiples of that stake. Wild Beetle, special Crystals and Instant Prizes follow separate rules.
Red crystal
Highest-paying crystal. Clusters of five or more connected horizontally or vertically pay; values come from the paytable at the 0.50 fun demo bet and are stake-linked preview figures.
Orange crystal
Second crystal on the cluster table. Paytable cells at the 0.50 fun demo bet are stake-linked preview figures.
Pink crystal
Third and last of the higher crystals. Values at the 0.50 fun demo bet are stake-linked preview figures.
Green crystal rock
One of three lower crystal rocks with identical pays.
Blue crystal rock
Lower crystal rock with the same cluster pays as green and purple.
Purple crystal rock
Last of the three lower crystal rocks.
Crystal Catcher RTP, volatility and maximum win
Push Gaming’s Crystal Catcher page lists two RTP configurations, 96.30% and 94.30%, with medium volatility and a 5,000× highest observed win. They are separate builds rather than a continuous range, so this card stores 96.30% as the displayed RTP and top of the span and 94.30% as the low end. Published rule copies add mode figures on the 96.30% build: 96.40% for Push Bet, 96.50% for the regular buy and 96.56% for the Super Bonus. RTP is a long-run configuration value, not a session forecast; confirm the active figure on the loading screen.

How to interpret the numbers
Key point 1
A special crystal or Instant Prize without a Wild Beetle on the grid is not a banked award.
Key point 2
Read paytable amounts as values at the 0.50 fun bet shown, not as fixed cash prizes.
Key point 3
A 94.30% build is a different configuration from 96.30%. Check the loading screen for the version you opened.

Crystal Catcher compared with other games
Other Push Gaming cluster titles share cascading grids, but Crystal Catcher hangs its multiplier on one flying Wild Beetle that grows with each flight and survives through Free Spins. Compare how the Wild moves, whether its multiplier persists, the Push Bet and Bonus Buy prices and which RTP build loads before treating another cluster card as the same rulebook.
| Game | Return / max win | Volatility | Bonus fit | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Crystal Catcher | 94.30%–96.30% / 5,000× | Medium | Seven Free Spins keep the main Beetle and its multiplier; Gold Beetles add temporary multiplier Wilds on each spin. | Shared cluster grids do not transfer the Beetle flight rule, Bonus Buy prices or the 96.30% and 94.30% RTP settings between cards. |
| Fish 'n' Nudge | 94.38%–96.40% / 10,000× | Medium | Three to five Bonus scatters start Free Spins at ×1, ×10 or ×25 with Nets on reels 2 and 4; every nudge adds +1 to the multiplier on Fish prizes. | The 10,000× cap and Fish prizes are base-bet multiples. A prize won on a Push Bet spin is not scaled up by the extra 20% outlay. |
| Wild Moon Thieves | 97.00% / 5,000× | Medium | Bonus symbols open Moon Respin; Scatters open the door mini-game and Free Spins. Buy Bonus can purchase either route in the demo overlay. | Shared Buy Bonus wording does not make another title’s Moon ceiling, door Wild cap or 97.00% RTP match this card. |

FAQs
Does Crystal Catcher use paylines?
No. It uses Cluster Pays on a 7×7 grid: five or more matching crystals connected horizontally or vertically, with cascades after each win.
How does the Wild Beetle grow?
Each flight to a special Crystal, Instant Prize or Bonus Crystal adds +1 to its multiplier and leaves a Gold Beetle Wild with the value before the jump.
What stays during Free Spins?
The main Wild Beetle and its multiplier stay for all seven spins. Gold Beetles created during a spin cascade off before the next one.
How large can an Instant Prize be?
Attached rules list values from 1× to 500× the bet. They pay only when the Wild Beetle collects them, multiplied by its current value.
What RTP settings are published?
Push Gaming lists 96.30% and 94.30%. Rule copies add 96.40% for Push Bet, 96.50% for the regular buy and 96.56% for the Super Bonus on the 96.30% build.
