A rice cooker cooks rice for a short period of time but a crock pot is mainly used for meals to be prepared while you are at work or you prefer food cooked for a long time on slow with out the need of assistance, usually rice take about 20 minutes to cook!

my understanding, the crockpot can go up to 400 % heat for things like meats and stews, a rice cooker has lower heat which actually steams the rice. Never heard of anyone cooking rice in a crock pot, but give it a whirl, worse case burnt rice... Have fun..
