The Chicken Road casino slot machine game is a 5-reel, 20-payline video slot that offers players an exciting and engaging gaming experience. Developed by a renowned software provider, this game transports players to a scenic countryside route where they can encounter various farm animals, including chickens, cows, pigs, horses, and more.
Theme and Design
The theme of Chicken Road is centered around rural landscapes, farmland, and the country life. The game’s design features vibrant and colorful graphics that bring the atmosphere of a peaceful countryside to life. The Chicken Road demo reels are set against a lush green backdrop with a winding road running through it, complete with stone walls, trees, and flowers. The symbols used in the game include various farm animals, as well as traditional fruit icons like cherries, lemons, and grapes.
Symbols
The standard symbol payouts for Chicken Road range from 2x to 50x the bet per line for combinations of three or more matching symbols. The low-paying symbols are represented by card ranks (9-A), which pay out relatively modest amounts. However, players can win bigger prizes with the higher-value farm animal symbols:
- Three or four cow symbols pay out between 20x and 100x
- Three to five horse symbols reward between 30x and 150x
- Pigs offer payouts of up to 200x for combinations of three, four, or five
Payouts
The game features a top prize of 10,000 coins, which is awarded when all five reels are filled with the highest-paying cow symbol. The theoretical return to player (RTP) rate stands at approximately 95%, indicating that on average, players can expect to receive £0.95 in winnings for every £1 they wager.
Wilds
The wild symbol is represented by a rooster and takes part in creating winning combinations by substituting other symbols except scatters. However, its ability is somewhat limited compared to some other games, as it only multiplies wins by one when contributing towards them.
Scatters
There are two distinct scatter symbols: the Farmhouse and the Chicken Coop. Both can appear on any reel and do not have to be aligned horizontally or vertically for a win:
- Three, four, or five scatters of either symbol trigger 5x, 20x, or 50x total bet free spins with an average payout multiplier
- The scatters also award their respective payouts: farmhouse (up to 100x), chicken coop (up to 500x)
Bonus Features
Chicken Road features two bonus games that can be triggered in various combinations. First is the Chicken Run Bonus Round, activated by landing on a rooster and collecting eggs from hens throughout three rounds:
- Each collected egg earns players additional free spins or multiplier values
- In each round, players pick one of five baskets containing either multipliers (2x-100x) or four to ten extra free spins
Next is the Barn Bonus feature, triggered by landing on a barn symbol and choosing which animal escapes from its enclosure. Players collect rewards according to their choice:
- Chicken: 1-5 additional wilds added for each escape
- Cow: win multipliers applied (2x-10x)
- Pig: get between 3-50 extra free spins
Free Spins
In addition to the bonus features described above, there are several instances where players can earn or initiate more free spins:
- Some of these awards occur at random after any spin without winning combinations
- These can happen regardless of whether a player won on the previous spin, offering multiple chances throughout playthroughs
