Theme and Design
The Chicken Road slot Chicken Road takes players on a journey to the countryside where they’ll encounter adorable farm animals and lush green landscapes. The game’s design is colorful and vibrant, making it visually appealing to both old and new players alike. The reels are set against a picturesque backdrop of hills and farmland, complete with fluffy white clouds and a few wispy trees.
The symbols used in the slot include various farm-themed icons such as chickens, cows, pigs, ducks, sheep, and even a tractor or two. These images are well-crafted to resemble real-life animals, adding an extra layer of realism to the game. The overall theme is lighthearted and enjoyable, making it perfect for those looking for a break from more intense slot experiences.
Symbols and Payouts
The Chicken Road slot uses standard 10-number symbols (Ace to 9), which appear in their respective colors – red or black, offering medium payouts. The high-paying symbols include the animals mentioned above (chicken, cow, pig, duck, sheep) as well as a tractor and farm building icons.
Here are some details about each symbol:
- Number Symbols (10-Ace):
- Red Ace to 9: 2x-50x total bet
- Black Jack of Clubs/Spades/Diamonds/Hearts: 4x-100x total bet
- High-Paying Symbols:
- Chicken, Cow, Pig, Duck, Sheep: 10x-200x total bet per combination (3 to 5 symbols)
- Tractor and Farm Building: 50x-500x total bet per combination (2 to 5 symbols)
The chicken is the wild symbol in this game, replacing any other symbol when it appears on a payline.
Wilds
As mentioned earlier, the Chicken icon serves as both the highest-paying wild symbol and a scatter. It can be found on reels 1-4 (excluding reel 5). When it lands anywhere on these reels during regular play, it acts as an instant win multiplier, offering payouts according to its position:
- Reel 2: x2 total bet
- Reel 3: x10 total bet
- Reel 4: x20 total bet
Additionally, when multiple chicken wilds appear in a single combination on the middle three reels (reels 2-4), they activate a Wild Link feature. This causes all visible chickens to expand and combine into a large payout.
Scatters
The Chicken symbol is also a scatter icon that triggers free spins. Scattering 3, 4 or 5 Chickens anywhere in view will award:
- 10 Free Spins (with possible win multipliers)
- Extra Free Spins: +1 additional spin for each 2-9 consecutive wins
Free spin features:
- All winnings doubled during regular play and tripled during free spins
- Winnings can be retriggered to activate an unlimited number of free spins
Bonus Features
The Chicken Road slot boasts two main bonus features, which enhance its engaging nature: Wild Link and Free Spins.
Wild Link allows visible chicken wilds on reels 2-4 to expand into a large chicken icon. The new larger symbol will fill the entire reel or column it occupies when played during regular play with standard payouts awarded accordingly (up to x10 total bet). During free spins, this feature increases payout values up to tripled.
Free Spins offer players multiple opportunities for winning bigger. When activated through scatter symbols anywhere in view on reels 1-5, all wins doubled and threefold possible win multipliers become active throughout gameplay during these modes. Retriggering scatters gives more rounds as stated before (with same rules).
Gameplay
Chicken Road has an easy-to-use interface that offers customizable control options to suit player preferences. It includes:
- Autoplay: Can set from 10 up to 1,000 spins with optional loss limit or individual stop.
- Adjustable Bet Range: Choose from a wide range of stake amounts starting as low as €0.20 per spin and reaching maximums above €100, making this an inclusive gaming experience suitable for various budgets.
In terms of strategy, players may choose either the ‘Max Win’ mode to boost maximum potential wins by increasing multiplier values up until x250; or the more conventional win-per-spin gameplay that limits multipliers (1x-5x total bet), although they also reduce volatility levels slightly in comparison with MaxWin option selected.
