The Chicken Road is a 5-reel, 10-payline casino slot game that offers players an entertaining and potentially rewarding gaming experience. The game’s theme revolves around chickens taking over a city, with various bird-inspired symbols making up its paytable.
Theme and Design
When entering the game, players are immediately immersed in a bustling metropolis where chickens have seemingly taken control. Colorful graphics depict roosters, hens, eggs, and Chicken Road other chicken-related icons, giving off a lighthearted atmosphere that can’t help but evoke smiles from even the most seasoned gamers.
The background of the reels is dominated by skyscrapers and billboards featuring different breeds of chickens, creating an urban jungle feel. Overall, the design effectively combines vibrant colors with quirky humor to create an engaging visual experience.
Symbols and Payouts
The game features a range of standard playing card icons (9-A) alongside its unique symbols: Rooster Wild, Hen Scatter, Egg Bonus, Cluck Norris (high-paying symbol), Chick (mid-pay symbol), Chicken Feet (low-pay symbol).
Paytable winnings are as follows:
- Chick = 2x – 100x
- Cluck Norris = 5x -25x
- Chicken Feet = x – 10x
Wilds replace other symbols to help form wins, but their main function is tied to the bonus feature. Scatters trigger free spins when three or more appear.
Payout Multipliers and Jackpots
Chicken Road’s payout structure rewards players for landing multiple matching icons on adjacent reels (left-to-right). When five of a kind land consecutively from left to right, they award 10x, 25x, or an enormous jackpot reward. While not the most generous payouts are offered, winning combinations frequently appear.
Wilds and Scatters
As mentioned earlier, Rooster Wild is both wild (replacing any standard symbol) and a bonus trigger for Chicken Road’s feature game. Unlike many slots where free spins offer variable multipliers or ‘gamble’ rounds to boost wins; here they occur with fixed values without an element of uncertainty.
Free Spin Rounds can be re-triggered but this aspect limits the level of player interaction & potential excitement, possibly creating some disinterest as players may become accustomed to a steady win output.
Bonus Features and Free Spins
Chicken Road’s ‘Egg Bonus’ is activated whenever three or more Hen Scatters appear anywhere across the reels. Activating this mode launches you into a bonus game where every winning combination multiplies by two (and only doubles). If no bonuses were triggered in previous rounds, an opportunity arises.
Free spin rewards range from 5 – up to ten; although triggering multiple spins could be frustrating for those who encounter such issues as they often do not provide opportunities for doubling their original wins but sometimes include the ‘retriggering’ function that adds a potential boost if three bonus symbols land somewhere else on the reels again within the given quantity set by them during one free spin cycle.
