Theme and Design

Chicken Road is a slots game developed by Microgaming, one of the leading online casino software providers. The theme of the game revolves around a classic American folk tale about the chicken who crosses the road. This timeless story has been reimagined in various forms, including animated Chicken Road films, cartoons, and even comic books. In this slot machine version, players are transported to an idyllic countryside setting with rolling hills, lush green grass, and towering trees.

The design of Chicken Road is quite vibrant, featuring colorful graphics that bring the theme to life. The game’s background image showcases a scenic landscape with a winding road snaking through it, complete with a few characters milling about in the distance. Players will notice several distinct elements, including:

• A wooden fence line separating the foreground from the background
• Lively animated birds perched atop trees or flitting about the scenery
• Friendly-looking chickens roaming freely around the landscape

Symbols

The game’s symbol set is inspired by various farm animals and rural objects. The paytable lists several distinct symbols, each carrying unique point values:

1. Wild Chicken : This iconic image of a chicken crossing the road serves as both a substitute for other symbols (except Scatter) and rewards bonus payouts when five appear on an active line.
2. Farm Animals :
   • Cow: pays up to 50 times total bet
   • Pig: up to 40x
   • Sheep: up to 30x
3. Rural Items :
   • Chicken Feed Basket: up to 20x
   • Cornstalks: up to 15x

In addition, there’s a special Scatter symbol displaying the image of a shiny road sign. These symbols are designed to trigger various bonus features discussed below.

Payouts

The paytable reveals a combination of fixed and dynamic payout structures:

• Low-paying symbols offer fixed payouts for combinations:
  • 3-5 identical Farm Animals: reward varying amounts based on their point values
  • 2-5 Rural Items or Wild Chickens in succession yield rewards, though relatively modest compared to other features

Wilds

As the most iconic symbol of this slot game, the Wild Chicken is an excellent addition. It:

• Can replace any standard symbol (except Scatter) on a payline
• Offers higher payout values than its corresponding substitute symbols when substituting them in combinations

Keep in mind that while Wild Chickens can expand winnings by acting as substitutes for other symbols, their own highest fixed value reward remains relatively moderate.

Scatters

The Road Sign Scatter stands apart from standard wilds and symbol combinations. Its behavior is governed differently:

• This Scatter does not contribute to line wins but instead:
  • 3-5 appearances anywhere across the reels will trigger a bonus feature (described below)

It’s interesting to note how, despite their lack of participation in regular winning lines, Scatters contribute to initiating free spins or other rewards when they appear in any three positions.

Bonus Features and Free Spins

Now that we’ve seen individual component elements let us dive deeper into the game mechanics responsible for added excitement:

Bonus Round

• 5+ appearances (including combinations of Wild Chickens and Road Sign Scatter): • This unlocks a retriggering Wild Chicken Frenzy , awarding an impressive number of free spins or, upon achieving five matching chickens on screen simultaneously. The Wild Chicken will remain active for each subsequent spin during this round.

Free Spins

During the bonus rounds activated by 3-5 Scatters, players benefit from a higher-than-average RTP (return-to-player percentage) as well as more favorable multipliers that amplify all winning combinations generated:

• In the case of achieving just three Road Signs: • A generous number of Free Spins is rewarded; during which time any Wild Chickens displayed will continue to act as substitutes in line wins.

• However, upon meeting or exceeding specific threshold values when filling individual reels with matching chickens (either five matching wilds per payline or two or three sets of five within one combination), the following effects apply:

  • Revolving Bonus Wheel :

  • Players have a chance to initiate either Free Spins or Wild Chickens re-spin. When this feature is chosen, all bets are multiplied by 2; any extra wins will also be doubled.
  • If more than five matching wilds appear on the reels before completing three Road Signs in succession (or upon achieving just four matching ones but within one single payline), their bonus potential can range anywhere from thirty to a hundred times of initial wagers.

The Bonus Wheels revolve and allow participants to select either Free Spins with Wild Chickens active for each spin or initiate an additional bet multiplier applied across all following rounds, until the chosen variant ceases upon occurrence. As previously stated, some free spins (generated by higher-than-average road sign counts) carry double payouts – a rare benefit seen mostly through such wheel-related opportunities.

RTP and Volatility

Chicken Road offers two distinct settings:

1. Low to Moderate (default setting): Provides an average Return-to-Player percentage of around ninety percent, suitable for those seeking balanced play experience while ensuring rewards occur more often than in volatile games.
2. High-Roller/ Volatile : A version yielding high volatility but still offering respectable RTP levels (estimated at approximately eight hundred eighty-one to nine twenty-five); however this results from reduced probabilities attached when encountering certain combinations – and significantly increased probability associated with the occurrence of a winning sequence within every two-hundred-thirty, in-game, round turns.

As we see it, there exist several parameters that allow flexibility for different types of players; offering both stable growth alongside explosive jackpot possibilities for experienced gamblers or ‘High Rollers’.

Betting Range

Game betting ranges have been tailored to cover a broad spectrum of budgets. Each player can adjust stakes according to individual needs and risk tolerance within:

• Minimal 25c
• Maximal $12.50 bet amount per spin
