Raising Stakes on the Chicken Road Casino Slot
Theme and Design
The "Chicken Road" casino slot is a farm-themed game that invites players to embark on a countryside adventure. The design of this slot machine is bright, colorful, and lively, with intricate illustrations of barns, tractors, and farm animals scattered throughout its 5 reels and 3 rows of symbols. As the title suggests, chickens are prominently featured in various guises, including egg-laying hens, chicks, roosters, and even a wise old chicken perched on top of a tractor.
Symbols
The game features an assortment of Chicken Road traditional slot machine icons as well as those specific to its farm theme. These include:
- Card suits (Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs, Spades) with their respective values
- Lower-paying symbols such as Watermelon, Orange, Cherry and Plum
- Higher-paying symbols like Hens, Cows, Tractors, Farmhouses and Chickens (with an egg-laying hen being the most valuable of these)
- Wild symbol: represented by a large rooster that can substitute for all other symbols except Scatters
- Scatter symbol: depicted as two crossed pitchforks that initiate bonus games and Free Spins
Payouts
Winning combinations in "Chicken Road" are determined by lining up 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols on adjacent reels. The payouts themselves are relatively standard for a slot machine with the same denomination. For example:
- Card suits (10-A): 1-5 coins
- Watermelon and Orange: 2-20 coins each
- Cherry and Plum: 3-30 coins each
- Cows, Hens, Tractors, Farmhouses: 6-150 coins each
Wilds
The rooster wild symbol can substitute for any of the game’s icons except Scatters, allowing players to create winning combinations more easily. However it does not have a separate payout and instead only serves as an aid.
Scatters
When two or more pitchfork Scatter symbols appear anywhere on the reels (regardless of position), they award Free Spins and initiate various bonus features, described in further detail below:
- 2 Scatters: 10+5 Bonus spins with multipliers (X2-X6)
- 3-4 Scatters: 25+50/100 Bonus spins with multipliers (X2-X12)
Bonus Features
Upon winning a spin and collecting at least two pitchfork Scatter symbols, the "Free Spin Feature" is triggered:
- Players choose their preference between a guaranteed Cash Winnings prize or an instant Re-spin of selected reels.
- In both scenarios, winnings will accumulate according to current Multipliers applied.
In addition to Scatters, other bonus features are also available within this game:
- Stacked Hens feature awards up to x20 multiplier and stacked wilds across 3 rows for each spin played during a 15-spin sequence with no additional wins being awarded.
- Wild Reels feature replaces entire reels of 2-4 identical symbols on any winning combination by randomly choosing all those reels or changing some icons from wild to actual winning combinations based upon these new generated multipliers applied up until three rounds are reached as chosen beforehand.
Free Spins
As previously mentioned, the pitchfork Scatter symbol is responsible for initiating free spins in "Chicken Road". There exist two variants – Base Free Spin (10+5) or Boosted (25-100), which combine to create up to 155 additional game opportunities with possible multipliers that may be doubled from their base levels if accumulated within an alternating bonus round during any spin phase lasting fifteen rounds.
