The online casino slot game "Chicken Run" developed by PoggiPlay has gained significant attention among players for its engaging theme and lucrative gameplay features.
Theme
As suggested by its name, Chicken Run revolves around the theme of chickens escaping from their farm. The colorful graphics feature a cast of characters including roosters, hens, eggs, and even a fox, all in bright hues to create an immersive environment. This whimsical atmosphere immerses players in the world of the game.
Design
The layout is straightforward with 5 reels offering between 10 and 1024 winning lines depending on player preference. Below the Chicken Run reels lies a simple control panel featuring essential buttons for adjusting bets, managing autoplay sessions, and accessing game settings. The background image shifts subtly according to gameplay phase or bonus feature initiation, which adds visual interest.
Symbols
Symbols within Chicken Run are diverse, representing different elements of farm life and escape attempts:
- Low-value symbols include A through J cards.
- High-value symbols depict roosters with red plumage (the highest paying) followed by various rooster patterns in lower pay values.
- Special symbols include an egg that acts as a wild symbol for additional winning opportunities and hens that function as scatter, leading to bonus rounds.
Payouts
Each of the high-paying bird types offers payouts ranging from modest 5x the bet for two-of-a-kind to up to 1,000 times the stake for five of these on an active line. The wild egg symbol does not have a dedicated payout but contributes to combinations whenever it completes one.
Wilds and Scatters
The "egg" in Chicken Run is its unique twist on traditional game mechanics:
- Wild Egg: Substitutes other symbols except scatters, acting as multiple bird types when necessary.
- Hen Scatter: Triggers free spins. It needs to appear at least three times to initiate the bonus round.
Bonus Features and Free Spins
Free spin rounds can offer players substantial winnings due to various enhancements that come into play:
- Roulette Wheel Spin : During the bonus, a roulette wheel might be triggered. Based on where it stops, all positions get filled with identical symbols which generate payouts proportional to the stop result.
- Egg Bonus : A mini-game involving picking eggs with different numbers of free spins inside may start when three or more hen scatter appear simultaneously in reels 1 through 5.
