Theme and Design
Chicken Road is an online slots machine game developed by a renowned casino software provider. The theme of the game revolves around Asian culture, specifically China, with symbols and graphics inspired from Chinese architecture, mythology, and nature. Upon launching the game, players are transported to a serene rural landscape in ancient China, complete with misty mountains, lush forests, and traditional village scenery.
The design is simple Chicken Road yet visually appealing, featuring vibrant colors and detailed artwork throughout the reels and backgrounds. The layout consists of five reels and three rows of symbols, arranged on a grid that fills most of the screen. Above the reels lies a meter tracking progress toward bonus rounds and free spins, as well as a display showing the current balance.
Symbols
The game’s paytable is composed of both high-paying symbols featuring traditional Chinese motifs and low-paying card values in red and blue hues. Higher-value symbols include:
- The Golden Dragon, which serves as the top-payout symbol.
- A pair of matching fans, often seen in Japanese art but here utilized as a Chinese motif.
- An intricately painted pagoda with intricate roof tiles and ornate eaves.
Lower-paying card values appear at each corner of the reels, adding to their overall appearance. These symbols contribute to the theme’s Asian-inspired aesthetic, blending elements from both China and Japan without offending fans of either culture.
Payouts
Wins in Chicken Road can be achieved through a variety of winning combinations on adjacent reels, with specific line configurations offering varying rewards based upon symbol multipliers applied at the moment of each win. This information is contained within the payout schedule accessible via a tap of the ‘I’ button located above the main game window or displayed under settings when playing for real money.
The most basic symbols in the game offer the least substantial winnings but can contribute positively to short-term progress, particularly if landing multiple times or combining them with more valuable symbol combinations. However, these rewards gradually increase as players opt for higher-paying symbols like fans and pagodas, up until they land on the high-end Golden Dragon.
Wilds
Chicken Road slot features an impressive variety of unique gameplay mechanics that are further enriched by a generous application of wild symbol characteristics. The ‘Wild Chicken’ itself represents both substitutional ability to take the position where the original intended winning combination had previously been arranged, thereby increasing overall odds in favor when any number of such high-value wins has occurred up until then.
This single Wild symbol will have an even more enhanced potential when also becoming part-time active within designated bonus features or other advanced game modes which can further contribute towards bigger wins.
