Chicken Road is a casino slot developed by a well-known game provider in the industry, known for its engaging and immersive themes. This review will delve into every aspect of the game, from its design to gameplay, exploring what makes it an interesting choice for players looking to explore the world of slots.
Theme and Design
The theme of Chicken Road is centered around adventure on a rural road lined Chicken Road with trees, fields, and farm animals, including chickens. The game’s design follows suit, featuring colorful graphics and animations that bring this idyllic scene to life. Players will find themselves transported to a serene countryside setting as they spin the reels.
The background is depicted with rolling hills and towering trees, while in the foreground, players can see various farmhouses and barns surrounded by lush green fields dotted with wildflowers. This visually appealing atmosphere creates an immersive experience for the player, allowing them to fully engage in the game’s world without distractions.
Symbols
Chicken Road features a diverse range of symbols inspired by its theme, including low-paying icons such as 9-A (Ace) and several medium-paying ones like eggs, chickens, trucks, tractors, foxes, owls, hedgehogs, and raccoons. Each symbol has been carefully designed to maintain the game’s overall aesthetic.
The higher-value symbols include a group of farm animals – cows, sheep, pigs, horses, geese, ducks, hens with chicks, turkeys, beavers, woodpeckers, eagles, deer, squirrels, rabbits – as well as an additional pair representing farming and the countryside: tractors and harvest machinery. These higher-value symbols reward players for successful matches.
Payouts
The payouts in Chicken Road are based on the standard slot machine model, where winning combinations can be formed by landing three or more matching icons of the same kind, either horizontally (left to right) or vertically (right to left).
While specific payout values may change over time due to factors like game updates and different regional regulations, we’ll explore general payment structures. For example, combinations involving low-value 9-A cards usually yield small sums.
More rewarding matches can be achieved with medium-paying icons – eggs or various animals, which often reward anywhere from x5x10 coins up to around $50-$60 for a full line of five on the best value paylines in our tested currency.
High-stakes combinations using high-value farm-related icons frequently award several hundred dollars when fully lined across 25 active paylines during the main game and upwards of thousands – though it is worth noting this has been reduced from prior versions to maintain overall payout balance with new RTP settings.
Wilds
Chicken Road includes two special symbol types: a Wild icon, depicted by a beautiful farm horse, which replaces other symbols (excluding scatter) to complete winning combinations when appearing as needed; and the Free Spin trigger image of an attractive hen holding 5 golden eggs – which is also involved with game’s free spins.
Scatters
The game incorporates two scatters:
- One featuring the cute hen standing next to a basket filled with five fresh eggs, responsible for triggering Chicken Road’s main bonus feature.
- The "Farm" image acts as additional scatter rewarding its own rewards during the base and is more common than wilds so their frequency should be factored when considering play.
Bonus Features
Players of Chicken Road can expect an exciting experience through two prominent features: Free Spins Bonus Feature & Jackpot Trail (additional wins via mystery feature).
The main bonus comes in two forms – either awarded at any moment during normal game rounds triggered by the farm hen symbol, or more often when stacked sets of 5 and/or other low-paying numbers aligning certain line positions that activate a small cash win before switching into Free Spins mode.
