The Chicken Run slots game is a 5-reel online slot machine that combines farming-themed fun with the excitement of potential winnings. Developed by a well-established game provider, the title brings to life a classic animated film and captures its essence through engaging gameplay Chicken Run features.
Gameplay Overview
At first glance, the layout appears simple enough: players have five reels with three rows each, along with ten fixed paylines. Wins are paid left-to-right from the very start of the spin, starting from the far-left reel (reel 1), which is a common setup in most slots games today.
Symbols and Design
Each symbol on the reels represents various farmyard animals or farming-related items to maintain the theme effectively:
- High-value symbols include two main types: animal silhouettes (duck, chicken, sheep) and vegetable crates. These symbols have similar values, ranging from 2x up to 10x of the total bet for five-of-a-kind wins.
- Low-value symbols consist of various farm tools such as spades, rakes, shovels, hoes, pickaxes, pruning shears, wheelbarrows, watering cans, and seed packets. These symbols award smaller prizes ranging from 0.5x to 2x the total bet for five-of-a-kind wins.
A special Wild symbol is also incorporated into this game: an egg carton with two eggs on top, denoted by a ‘Wild’ icon next to it. The Wild can substitute any other regular-paying symbols in a winning combination, which we will discuss further when talking about payouts and combinations below.
Payouts and Combinations
The payout table outlines possible wins using the highest five-of-a-kind for each symbol category.
- High-value (animal silhouettes) symbols offer 10x up to 2,500 credits for a combination of three across any line.
- Low-value symbols provide smaller prizes: 0.5x to 200 credits per payline win.
Free Spins and Bonus Features
A key feature in this slot machine is the ‘Egg-stravagant’ Free Spin bonus round. To trigger, players need to land at least three scatter symbols anywhere on any of the reels during a regular spin or an automatic game.
The number of free spins depends entirely upon how many scatters landed: exactly 3 triggers 5-15 spins, with a medium amount between them being awarded randomly (in practice this tends towards around 9).
