The Chicken Run casino slot game is a video slot machine designed by NetEnt, based on the popular 2000 animated movie of the same name produced by Aardman Animations and DreamWorks Animation. The game has been developed to capture the essence of the film’s story and characters, transporting players into a world filled with farm animals in pursuit of freedom.
Theme and Design
Upon entering the game, players Chicken Run are greeted by the vibrant and colorful design that mimics the movie’s settings. The background features a rolling green hillside with sheep grazing lazily, while the foreground showcases Ginger, an ambitious egg-laying chicken with a dream to escape the farm under the guidance of Rocky. These iconic characters take center stage on the game’s reels. Symbols are categorized into two main types – low-value and high-paying symbols. The standard low-value symbols include playing cards (10-4), depicted in various shades of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
High-value symbols pay more substantial rewards for combinations. These symbols display animals from the farm, such as a Sheep, Cow, Duckling, Gnome, and Chick. Ginger serves as both a low-paying wild symbol that substitutes other icons to form winning combinations and a high-paying chicken character who acts as one of the highest paying characters on the reels.
Symbols
In addition to standard symbols mentioned earlier (low-value cards 10-4), Chicken Run slot features three unique special symbols: Scatters, Wilds, and Chickens. Scatter appears only during Bonus Rounds. The most interesting aspect about this game is its unique combination of elements taken directly from a well-known story and some more creative spins on slot machines.
The Chicken (the High Paying Character) serves both as an extra-high-paying character, which plays the role of Ginger in the original story, but also doubles up as one of several high-paying wild symbols in this game. Chickens can only appear when three or more are found within any sequence from left to right on adjacent reels.
Payouts
In Chicken Run slot machine games, standard payout combinations involve matching 2-5 low-value card icons and up to five Farm Animals (High-Paying Symbols). Payouts vary based upon which specific character has been chosen. However, note that some special conditions may lead players into unexpected payouts depending on the individual circumstances surrounding their spins.
Wilds
Ginger acts as both an extra High Paying Character but also serves double purposes since it replaces most symbols within winning sequences and contributes more toward generating more significant sums compared with standard wilds found elsewhere. Chickens appear only when three or four are landed alongside one another on any row, column etc., in which case additional credits become possible due mainly because the two chickens represent different values while combining their abilities creates opportunities that aren’t achievable otherwise.
Scatters
Free Spins, represented by a pair of flying Chicken characters (scatter symbol) – appear only during Bonus Rounds; three Chickens activate the free-spins bonus round for 10 rounds, where each spin guarantees an additional chicken at every turn resulting in more than double multiplier earnings overall through accumulated combinations built throughout its duration.
Bonus Features
Players who accumulate a series of winning combinations land on a free-spin feature which doubles all winnings up until ten free spins have been made available after reaching that goal – giving gamers greater odds each round played thanks largely due increased luck via generated power-ups earned while progressing further along their current session.
