Game Overview
Chicken Road is a casino slot game developed by a prominent online gaming provider. It features a unique theme centered around chickens and farm animals, offering players an entertaining experience with various bonus features and gameplay mechanics.
Theme and Design
The game’s theme revolves around the idea of a farm where chickens are roaming freely on roads. The design incorporates vibrant colors Chicken Road and cartoon-style illustrations to create a whimsical atmosphere. The background of the game screen showcases a winding road surrounded by lush greenery, while the reels themselves feature symbols representing various animals such as chickens, pigs, cows, and horses.
The overall design is well-executed, making it visually appealing for players who enjoy farm-themed games or cartoons. However, it may not be particularly engaging for those seeking more sophisticated or high-end graphics.
Symbols
The game features a standard set of slot symbols found in most online casino slots, including card values from 9 to A and special symbol representations such as Scatters (represented by the ‘Free Spins’ logo), Wilds (depicted as chickens crossing roads), Bonus symbols, and high-paying animal icons like horses and cows.
Each animal symbol offers a different payout range:
- Low-value chicken: $0.20 – $100
- High-value cow: $10 – $1,000
- Horse: $5 – $500
The Wilds have the standard slot functionality of replacing other symbols to create winning combinations.
Payouts
Chicken Road follows a basic paytable structure with payouts ranging from 1x up to 1000x. The payout values are relatively straightforward and well-documented, providing players with a clear understanding of potential wins.
Here is an example breakdown:
- For each of the low-value card symbols (9-10) in combination: $0.50 – $2
- High-paying animal icons have various paytable values:
- 3 Horses: $20 – $1,000
- 5 Cows: $100 – $500
Wilds and Scatters
In Chicken Road, the Wild is represented by a group of chickens crossing roads. These wild symbols can substitute for other icons in winning combinations to create additional paylines.
The Scatter icon, denoted as "Free Spins", triggers the game’s main bonus feature when appearing three or more times on screen.
Bonus Features
When triggered with 3 or more Free Spin Scatters, players are awarded a set number of free games. Each spin within this sequence features an increased multiplier up to x100.
Additionally, there is an in-game ‘Wild Stacked’ mode that randomly stacks two or three wilds during main game play. While it doesn’t provide additional payouts directly, these stacked Wild icons can contribute positively towards potential bonuses when used correctly with the free spins round bonus and regular combination rewards available on normal games.
Free Spins
The Free Spin feature becomes active once players collect 3 to 5 Scatter symbols anywhere in view (on reels). The game automatically triggers this sequence at least three times.
During each of these free spin rounds, multipliers reach up to a maximum value that depends upon how many ‘scatters’ appear when initiating the bonus mode:
- Three Scattered Free Spins initiates 3 Free Games.
- Four and above initiate higher multipliers on wins during those spins – see below
Return-to-Player (RTP)
Chicken Road adheres to a standard RTP value of 95%. The overall game offers fair odds in line with most modern online slots.
A player should expect returns similar or better than this rate due largely from how wild and free spin combos interact.
Volatility
The volatility rating has been calculated as being generally low, however these games might have the potential for medium variability depending on certain combination conditions or a well-timed Free Spins sequence launch with the help of an increased Multiplier – players can test various betting strategies during their experience at Chicken Road.
Players who prefer lower risk levels are likely to enjoy this title more than higher-stakes gamers.
Betting Range and Maximum Win
Chicken Road features adjustable bets allowing players to choose between 1.00 coins to a maximum bet of $100 per turn – which can potentially provide the top fixed win available in the base game: $10,000
Gameplay Experience
Overall gameplay offers an immersive farm-themed experience for gamers who prefer a relaxing atmosphere with a medium volatility rate.
Chicken Road’s bonus features offer rewarding moments when players line up various animal combinations.
It may appeal best to mid-stakes gamblers; those looking at the higher end might find some lower-risk alternative available elsewhere as stated above
Mobile Play
As expected from today’s online slots, Chicken Road has been optimized for mobile use and supports iOS & Android systems with both landscape orientations.
