Overview
Chicken Road is a casino slot game developed by InOut, a relatively new name in the iGaming industry. This slot machine is an intriguing addition to the growing library of online slots, offering players a unique theme and engaging gameplay mechanics.
Theme and Design
The Chicken Road slot has an agricultural theme, with the focus being on chicken farming. The game’s design is visually appealing, featuring colorful graphics and animations that bring the farm-to-table concept to life. Players will encounter various chicken characters, including Chicken Road roosters, hens, chicks, and even a wise old owl as the scatter symbol.
The slot has five reels, three rows, and 243 paylines in total, offering numerous opportunities for players to land winning combinations. The game’s background is set on a serene countryside scene with rolling hills, trees, and lush green fields – creating an immersive experience that complements the rural theme.
Symbols
In Chicken Road, there are several regular symbols including various chickens (high-paying), as well as card suits from Ace to 10 (low-paying). The game’s high-scoring chicken symbol is a large rooster, while the low-scoring ones include chicks and hens. All of these regular icons contribute to the overall gameplay experience.
The slot also features several special symbols that offer unique functionalities:
- Wilds : Represented by the Wild Chicken logo, wilds substitute for any other icon in winning combinations.
- Scatters : The wise old owl is the scatter symbol and triggers free spins when three or more appear anywhere on the reels.
Payouts
The payout system in Chicken Road rewards players with wins based on their bet stakes. Wins are calculated by multiplying the amount of each coin by its individual multiplier, as stated below:
Symbol Multiplier (for one coin) Wild Chicken 1-5x wager Rooster 0.50-3x wager Hens 0.20-2x wager Chicks 0.10-1.5x wager
Keep in mind that only the highest payout per symbol combination is paid.
Wilds and Scatters
The Wild Chicken wild replaces all regular symbols except for scatter (the owl) to form winning combinations, increasing your chances of scoring bigger prizes. It can appear on reels 2, 3, or 4 as a stacked symbol and appears often enough throughout gameplay, but its effectiveness is limited by the game’s restrictive payouts.
The wise old owl (scatter) plays no direct role in creating line wins – it exists solely to activate free spins.
Bonus Features
There are two main features in Chicken Road: Free Spins and the Chicken Bonus , which is triggered randomly or upon reaching specific bet levels:
-
Free Spins:** The scatter trigger initiates ten (10) non-retriggerable free spins. Players can accumulate up to a maximum of 50 bonus free spins, but no further combinations unlock extra rounds.
There are two main types of scatters in the game – regular and stacked, which provide varying numbers of free spins per appearance.
- Chicken Bonus:** Triggered randomly by three (3) consecutive wilds on reels 1-5 or when players reach a bet level multiplier above four times their initial stake, this bonus allows players to ‘peck’ at a random chicken box containing a cash prize from an area of the game grid.
