The Chicken Road slot game is a fascinating release from a well-known online casino software provider that has managed to create an intriguing combination of cartoon-style graphics and classic fruit machine gameplay features.
Theme
The theme of this game revolves around rural country life, specifically centered on chickens. This seemingly simple premise allows for some interesting visual elements to be incorporated into the slot’s design. A cartoonish style dominates the entire aesthetic of Chicken Road, which provides a more playful and laid-back atmosphere compared to other games that might have darker or grittier Chicken Road themes.
Design
Graphically, this game stands out due to its color scheme and artistic approach. Vibrant shades such as greens, blues, reds, yellows, and oranges adorn the reels alongside various depictions of country-related symbols like wheat, a rooster, an eggplant, carrots, pumpkins, chickens in different activities (chasing bugs, scratching mud), flowers, cats lounging on windowsills. The 5×4 layout consists of 20 fixed paylines but has multiple possible winning combinations available.
Symbols
A variety of symbols occupy the reels and offer unique features or rewards based on their occurrence. They are categorized mainly into two types – low-value ones representing fruits and high-value country-themed objects:
- Fruits: plum, cherry, lemon
- Wheat ( Scatter symbol)
- Rooster, Chickens in different activities (wild symbols with specific functions as described later)
Payouts
Each of the game’s low-paying symbols has a fixed payout structure based on how many of them appear adjacent to one another and whether there are wild or scatter symbols contributing to winning combinations. Each combination offers rewards within a determined range.
- For 2-5 consecutive plum, cherry, lemon symbols: (0.05) – (4)
- Wheat symbol does not participate in standard wins but is essential for triggering the bonus
The payout values given are approximate and can vary slightly depending on local gambling laws or operator’s pricing policy.
Wilds
Multiple chicken depictions occupy three separate wild reel positions: Chickens with a Bug to swat, Scratching Mud chickens (Scratch symbol), Rooster. Each Chicken occupies the first two reels in its respective order when active. This game does not use traditional single-symbol wilds that can substitute all other symbols.
- Chickens and Insects : A chicken chasing an insect appears on reel 1; a scratching chicken is shown on the second, with their respective functions:
- The first set offers double wins for five consecutive fruits (plum, cherry or lemon). Two adjacent wilds increase it fourfold.
- These chickens replace regular symbols to form combinations if no Scatter has contributed
-
Rooster : Located at reel 3 and is the only multi-colored Rooster available in this slot game. When landed on reels one and two (where Chickens and Bugs were active), rewards increase further:
<h4>Bonus & Scatters</h4>
Chicken Road offers a feature where landing wheat symbol (scattered throughout all five reels) can contribute to different outcomes, such as rewarding the player for each scatter that appears in any position on one spin with an absolute minimum payment and maximum when at least three appear simultaneously. Wheat acts more like a special ‘wild’ than a traditional Scatter due to its role during these bonus conditions:
- When Three or More Wheat Symbols Land
- All wins generated using those scatters get doubled (paying up-to 60) In addition, at least one additional Rooster must appear on the same spin
Bonus Features & Free Spins
Several features related to winning combinations contribute positively towards total earnings. An interesting aspect is how bonus features interact:
- Multiple Chickens Win: Multiple instances of any chickens appearing together lead to an amplified payout relative to number, type and whether they appear with Roosters.
- Reward Multiplier in Bonus The rooster’s value depends on which reels it lands on. Players receive more points if the birds land at a certain combination (i.e., two chickens on both positions left to wild chicken symbols – highest reward possible, while landing Roosters provides less).
For a 3,000x multiplier:
- In addition, some other free spin features trigger after three scatters appear. Free spins offer multiple benefits compared with the base game.
RTP (Return To Player)
The Return to Player percentage signifies how much money is paid out in winning combinations per one hundred units wagered over time. Chicken Road Slot’s RTP is at 95%, meaning that, theoretically, it should return a player $0.95 of the initial bet for each $1 placed on the game long-term.
Volatility
The Volatility Index, which signifies how often and significantly one can expect to receive a payout in relation to betting amount is unknown but estimated as Medium-High according to the information available from some reliable casino sources.
Betting Range & Max Win
Betting options are versatile. Players can pick stakes between 10 cents and ten dollars for each payline, with multiple bets offered due to different win multipliers depending on active chickens on reel positions one through five during these specific conditions – providing total betting range between 0.25 USD and twenty-five.
Max Win
Chicken Road has an unknown theoretical maximum possible payout that is achievable only under optimal circumstances and the highest available wager amount as it depends greatly upon game environment, operator’s offer specifics and rules applied when a combination occurs, so actual winning sum will vary based on local conditions for operators providing access to these games online.
