The Chicken Road casino slot is a game developed by the online gaming software provider, Amatic Industries. The game takes players on a journey through a rural landscape where they have to navigate through obstacles and challenges while collecting rewards along the way.
Theme and Design
At first glance, the design of the Chicken Road slot seems rather simplistic compared Chicken Road game to other games in the market. However, this is one aspect that contributes significantly to its charm. The game’s theme revolves around country roads and countryside living, with a colorful palette consisting of sunflowers, wheat fields, chickens, and farmhouses.
The reels are designed like old-school road signs, while the symbols depict rural-themed icons such as cars, trucks, cows, pigs, sheep, and chickens in various scenarios. The graphics may not be as detailed or polished compared to some newer games on the market, but they effectively convey the game’s lighthearted tone.
Symbols
The Chicken Road slot features a combination of regular symbols that pay for matching combinations from left to right and special symbols with additional functions. The high-paying symbol is represented by the ‘Lady Farmer’ icon, which offers a payout of up to 20x bet per line when five are matched.
Other regular symbols include a tractor, chickens, pigs, sheep, cows, cars, trucks, and various farm-related items such as baskets of vegetables or eggs in a basket. Each symbol is unique with its own design and colors.
Payouts
The Chicken Road slot has an RTP (Return to Player) rate of 95%, which means that on average, the game will pay out $95 back for every $100 spent playing it over time. This ratio may vary based on individual gameplay experience as wins are randomly generated by a random number generator.
Regarding payouts, matching combinations can award winnings ranging from 1x bet (for three of any symbol) to an astonishing 20x bet when five ‘Lady Farmers’ appear consecutively.
Wilds and Scatters
The Wild symbol in Chicken Road is represented by a tractor icon. As expected, it acts as a substitute for all the regular symbols excluding Scatters, allowing players to complete combinations where missing regular symbols are required.
Additionally, there’s an eggplant-shaped Scatter which triggers free spins when at least three land on reels 1 and/or reel 2 simultaneously or in other configurations with different bonus round activation conditions.
Wild Behavior
The Wild tractor does not have any special features or added rewards such as increased multipliers during wins where it replaces a symbol. Its main role is that of providing flexibility to the player’s potential winning combinations when they lack matching regular symbols within their sequence, thereby acting in its simplest form.
Bonus Features
As alluded earlier, there are two primary bonus features available on this slot machine:
- Free Spins – Activated by landing at least three eggplant Scatters either as part of a winning combination or separately (minimum 3x). Free spins reward players with up to six additional free rounds per initial Scatter trigger.
- Bonus Round Activation : Upon entry into any bonus round, the player earns increased rewards. Since it relies on meeting specific scatter triggers within different configurations than ‘Lady Farmer’ and Tractor Wilds combined or otherwise, both standard wins & various winning opportunities are activated for this purpose.
Free Spins Mode
The Free Spins mode itself can be relatively unpredictable in that its RTP seems to increase in comparison with base game performance due to more consistent potential rewards as opposed to an ever-present ‘Lady Farmer’ icon present upon win and higher value combos available.
