Chicken Run

The Chicken Run casino slot game is a unique blend of animation and humor that takes players on an entertaining adventure through the world of farmyard animals. Developed by Microgaming, one of the most renowned gaming software providers in the industry, this five-reel slot machine Chicken Run offers 243 ways to win with every spin.

Theme and Design

The Chicken Run theme revolves around a group of chickens attempting to escape from their captors at the local farm. The game’s backdrop features a lively animation that shows the Great Escape being set up by Ginger and her friends, while the reels themselves are displayed within an eggshell border that is animated with movements.

Upon launching the slot machine, players will be greeted by colorful graphics and a fun soundtrack featuring music from the 2000 film "Chicken Run" by Aardman Animations. The symbols used in the game include a collection of farm animals such as pigs, turkeys, cows, chickens, and even Farmer’s wife and her menacing husband, adding to the overall theme.

Symbols

The lower-value symbols are displayed using various farm animal characters while higher-value ones depict specific chicken-themed icons that pay more. These high-paying symbols can be grouped into two categories: The Chickens (Ginger, Rocky, Tina, Bunty, and Mrs. Tweedy) and other notable farm animals like the Rooster.

  • A- Ace = High-Pay symbol
  • K – King
  • Q – Queen
  • J – Jack
  • 10 = Low-paying symbols
  • Farm Animals: Cow, Turkey, Pig = Medium-paying symbols

Payouts

The payout values are predetermined and can be calculated based on the amount of money wagered per spin. The maximum winnings for any given spin are capped at 15 times the total stake while winning combinations need to appear left to right starting from reel one.

Lower-value symbols pay between 1x (for Ace) and 4x (10 symbol), medium-paying farm animals can payout anywhere between 5x (Turkey) and 8x (Cow or Pig) the amount bet, and finally high-ranking chickens return significantly more substantial payouts ranging up to a staggering 1000 times the player’s current wager when three matching high-value symbols appear on consecutive reels.

Wilds & Scatters

The game also features two special feature icons. Wild can be substituted for any other symbol except bonus which will substitute itself in place of scatters at all winning combination sets and award up to four wins based upon where it shows its presence while the Scatter – represented by Ginger flying out from a bird cage on each spin – awards ten free spins every time three appears.

Bonus Features

If at least 2 Free Spins symbols appear along with any Wild, players can get additional scatters in exchange for extra rounds and bonus games depending upon how they end. To win big through bonuses in Chicken Run slot, try achieving combinations of 4 (two Scatters + two wilds). Three or more such combination will allow the maximum five hundred Free Spins which could earn substantial returns but with no jackpot available.

Free Spins

With ten starting rounds that increase progressively each time three Bonus symbols are collected on same spin – this round offers many opportunities for increased earnings over multiple rounds as there’s an escalating number of free games every win. With enough consecutive wins during these, chances get better.

Additionally – a chance remains to receive up to seven hundred bonus spins from four Scatter icons; yet keep in mind they will give no more than twenty five at lowest value, and their payout range stays same even though accumulated rounds go higher after each collected winning set – therefore be advised when making most out of these rewards.

RTP & Volatility

As expected with many slot games developed by Microgaming the RTP (Return-To-Player) stands between sixty four to 67 percent however we would have liked it more at a somewhat balanced number; but, its value for money cannot dispute its overall high payout capability while volatility wise this game rates relatively low to medium making frequent small wins happen – even though maximum ones will always seem rare.
