Overview of the Game
Chicken Run is a farm-themed casino slot game developed by NetEnt, one of the leading online gaming providers. This entertaining and engaging slot offers players an immersive experience reminiscent of the classic animated movie "Chicken Run." The game boasts bright graphics, charming sound effects, and thrilling gameplay features that will keep you engaged for hours.
Theme and Design
As mentioned earlier, Chicken Run’s Chicken Run theme revolves around farm animals on a mission to escape their captors. Set in the lush countryside, the slot transports players to an idyllic scene filled with rolling hills, wooden fences, and verdant meadows. The game features 5 reels and 1 row layout, ensuring that players don’t miss any action on screen.
Symbols
Chicken Run boasts a collection of colorful symbols inspired by farm animals. These include the main characters: Ginger (the brave leader), Goldie (Ginger’s loyal companion), and Bubbles (a mischievous little chicken). Additionally, there are low-paying symbols such as carrots, feathers, eggs, and letters from the alphabet.
The Wild symbol is represented by a wanted poster featuring all three chickens. When appearing on reels 2-5, it substitutes for any other symbol except Scatters, enabling players to create winning combinations more easily.
Payouts
Chicken Run operates with a moderate volatility setting, providing players with steady wins throughout the gameplay session. Payouts range from x1 (low-paying symbols) up to x2000 in some cases (Wild and Scatter). While not excessively generous, payouts are frequent enough to sustain the game’s pace without ever becoming too slow or too fast.
Wilde & Scatters
The Wild symbol is one of the most valuable features of Chicken Run. When landing on reels 2-5, it substitutes any missing symbol, allowing for more winning combinations to emerge from each spin. Furthermore, every time a Wild lands adjacent to another Wild (on the same reel), the latter turns into an extra Wild with no additional winnings or bonus multipliers.
In addition to the Wilds mentioned earlier is Ginger’s Henhouse symbol serving as both Scatter and Bonus Feature triggerer when three appear at once on reels 1, 2, and/or 3. These special hens serve two crucial roles:
Scatters: Awards double your total bet multiplied by each of their positions (center) on the reels; Bonus Triggerer: Unlock free spin rounds in this section below.
Bonus Features & Free Spins
As soon as players land three Ginger’s Henhouse symbols anywhere within reels 1, 2 and/or 3 while a minimum side-bet is activated to enable Wild Multipliers and higher max win odds.
When these trigger conditions are met simultaneously,
Free Spin (FS) mode kicks in – allowing you pick which of two randomly appearing boxes contains five FS each time until four Free Spins. You may get more from additional box selections.
Some players choose side-bets so that at any one go; they do not pay double for only 3 Henhouse symbols landing all together within reels 1,2 or 3 when you want an active multipliers boost during those extra free rounds but will always come first if chosen by default.
Chicken Run uses an HTML5 framework allowing players across the board mobile play across smartphone operating systems (Android & iOS) without sacrificing a single winning chance due to smooth graphics handling its impressive animation.
