The Chicken Road casino slot game is a relatively new release from a popular online gaming software provider. This 5-reel, 243-payline video slot offers an entertaining blend of country music and farm-themed symbols, as well as various features to enhance gameplay and increase winning potential.
Theme and Design
The theme of the game revolves around country roads, Chicken Road game farms, and chickens. The graphics are colorful and vibrant, with a mix of realistic and cartoonish elements. Players will notice that each symbol has been carefully designed to fit within this rural setting, including farm animals such as cows, pigs, sheep, horses, and ducks.
In addition to the standard letter symbols (9-10-A), there are several themed icons like hens, chicks, eggs, tractors, barns, and of course, chickens. The background is designed to resemble a winding country road surrounded by greenery, adding depth to the overall design.
Symbols
The game features a total of 11 symbols, divided between standard letters (9-10-A), themed icons, wilds, scatters, bonus symbols, free spins triggers and multipliers.
Some notable features include:
- Multiplier Icon: Awards multiplier values up to 10x on non-wild wins.
- Bonus Symbol: Activates the Chicken Road Bonus feature when two or more appear in any positions of the reels.
- Scattered Hens (Wilds): Serve as wild symbols that substitute for other icons except bonus and multipliers.
- Scatted Chicks: Activate free spins when three land anywhere on the reels.
Payouts
The payouts are calculated based on the paytable, with combinations paying left to right across adjacent reels starting from the far-left position. Each symbol has a distinct payout multiplier that can be seen in the game’s information menu.
For instance:
- Chicken pays 1-10 times stake for three-four-five matching icons
- Multiplier Icon award multiplies winnings up-to-100x.
- Bonus Symbol award bonus feature, when triggered.
The top-paying wild symbol combination yields a generous payout of 50,000 coins for five in sequence.
Wilds and Scatters
Scattered Hens (Wild) are the game’s high-paying icons that replace other symbols except bonus multipliers to form winning combinations while Scatter Chicks activate free spins when three land anywhere on reels. The Multiplier Icon is a special type of wild, which awards values from 1x-10x multiplier in combination with standard letters or theme-based icons.
Bonus Features
Chicken Road offers two main features:
- Free Spins : When the player collects any of these scatters across positions of all five reels they are rewarded three free spins.
- Bonuses : Two bonus symbols anywhere on reels activates chicken road, awarding different rewards every time.
In this feature players navigate through a colorful animated 3D environment where you choose from multiple roads to select which path your vehicle will take, resulting in extra money or bonus chips being awarded. A maximum win of £100,000 is possible with no maximum bet limit allowing the wins unlimited potential.
RTP
Chicken Road features an above-average RTP of 96% when playing at its highest setting (all pay lines enabled), providing a healthy average return for players over time as well as lower variance offering less frequent but larger payouts on average and potentially more consistent smaller winning combos throughout playthroughs.
