Chicken Road is a visually striking online slot machine developed by BGaming, a renowned iGaming provider known for its engaging games with unique themes. Released in 2020, this game has captured the attention of players worldwide due to its distinctive design and entertaining gameplay mechanics.
Theme
Chicken Road As evident from its title, Chicken Road revolves around an amusing theme centered around anthropomorphic chickens navigating through various obstacles on a rural road. The game’s art style is colorful and cartoonish, reminiscent of classic cartoons from the 90s. This nostalgic vibe complements the light-hearted nature of the gameplay perfectly.
Design
Upon launching the slot, players are greeted by an enormous screen displaying five reels set upon three rows. At the top-left corner of the screen lies a bonus counter indicating remaining free spins or special features for that particular game session. A convenient control panel below enables adjustments to coin denomination and bet value using intuitive controls.
Symbols
A collection of 11 diverse symbols participates in forming winning combinations, ensuring there’s something for almost every type of player. Basic low-paying symbols include the standard 10-A card values (excluding Jack) crafted from wooden blocks adorned with small chicken feathers. Conversely, higher-value rewards depict various animals common to farm landscapes – duck, rabbit, goose, and horse.
High-paying bird characters – Rooster, Hen, Parrot, Owl, Crow, Sparrow, Canary, Turkey, Falcon, Dove – also share a similar design style. The top paying symbol is an all-powerful-looking owl holding a tiny scroll. Payout amounts increase steadily across the paytable with each character addition.
Payouts
The low-paying symbols yield sums ranging between 3:2 (1x) and even odds (5x), respectively for Card values J-A, while high-value birds reach up to 10 times multiplier during standard game play. Each winning line contributes toward accumulating payouts in conjunction with applied bet amounts.
Wilds & Scatters
The Rooster functions as the Wild symbol replacing missing icons on a payline but excluding bonus elements – Free Spin icon and Bonus Egg scatter. A large, bright-yellow egg named ‘Bonus Egg’ serves as Scatter, initiating special modes upon triggering three or more instances anywhere on screen at once.
Bonus Features & Free Spins
Two unique free spin features can be triggered simultaneously or separately:
- Free Spin Mode : As many 12 extra rounds are granted following 3-5 bonus egg scatters collected within the main game. Throughout these, Roosters fill and clear spaces with a multiplier effect.
- Bonus Reels : Up to five extra columns unlock once 4+ Bonus Eggs appear in any combination at one spin – multiplying odds on subsequent rolls until three or fewer reels remain.
RTP & Volatility
The theoretical return for players is estimated around an average of 96% per 1000 plays. While BGaming has chosen not disclose volatility rates explicitly within the provided guidelines, empirical evidence suggests high-volatility nature based upon observed win distribution patterns during various trial sessions.
